Huzzah! We have UDMA! Not sure what I did, though. Went into Setup [F2 on
boot]: Primary Drive 1 was 'OFF'--I "turned it on", and the BIOS reported it
as an Unknown Device. I saved changes, continued, and BING! UDMA5 on both
HDDs! I thought I had done this before, but I must not have saved. Oh well.
Wheee!
<insert happy computer dance>
NOW--my DVD-RW is still running at UDMA2. From what I've read, it should be
faster than that. Am I correct, or way off base?

Hi, all. Here's my dilemma..
I was using my boy's PC the other day to rip a DVD, when I noticed his drive
was running at least 2x what mine does. SO I got to poking around in my
system info, and found many strange things. Both my HDDs are running at a
lower UDMA mode than they are rated for. In fact, one is, I believe, running
in PIO, and defeats all attempts to reset it. Here is info, taken from

As you can see, one's slow, one seems to be in totally non-UDMA mode. In
Device Mgr, under Primary IDE Channel, Device 0 seems to correspond to the
ST3800, and is shown at UDMA 2. Device 1 is shown as PIO [Transfer Mode:DMA
if available], with no option to change it. I am at a total loss. I've tried
everything I can think of, from uninstalling the HDD and rebooting in hopes
it would redetect the UDMA settings,. to registry editing. Nothing works.
Help!!
