Do you mean DMI or DMA?

According to Sony:

You must disable DMA before updating the firmware.
To disable DMA Go to:
Right Click My Computer
Choose Properties
Choose Hardware
Choose Device Manager
Click the + in front of IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers
Double Click the secondary IDE Controller
Choose the Advanced Settings Tab
Change the DMA mode for both Device O and Device 1 to PIO Only
Click Apply, and OK
You will need to restart the computer for the settings to take effect
If you do not have this option and have a Via IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller in Device manger do the following:
Go to Add/Remove Programs
Remove the Via 4 in 1 driver
Reboot your system
Follow steps to disable DMA
