Can't detect DMA in WINXP

In device manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers ->
Primary Controller for Device 0 under advanced settings
the transfer mode is set to: DMA if avaliable, the
Current Mode is: PIO Mode.The hard drive is a 80G western Digital i
think the WD800JD which is on its own ide cable connected
to the primary connector on the motherboard. I am using
windows XP Professional and the PCCHIPS MB.

Also, when i start up my computer and it detects the
devices for the hard drive it says its in Ultra DMA Mode
4 or 5, but in windows it isnt.


Thank You for your time and help.

John
