8KNXP CDROM & DVD Burner at PIO mode

02-09-2004, 03:30 PM

My CDROM and DVD burner are set at PIO mode in the IDE/ATA controller. If I
change them, I can only get "Multi-Word DMA Mode 2"
Then they seem to be unstable at that setting. What does that setting mean?
I have never seen it before. On my older computer, I had them set at UDMA.
Why can't I get them at "UDMA" on this computer?
I have them on the secondary channel and a 720 Zip drive on the primary
channel as master. Thanks,
