Hey,
The DMA for both optical drives is off, that's not the way it should be for
the best optimal performance, I would think..In the bios did you set those
drives to auto configure? Were the jumpers set to master/slave or cable
select mode? All drives need to be set same, either or, ie..all on cable
select or all using the master/slave configuration..
Oh, and your infotool info is the same, the version 3.02 is not what I am
downloading from the link I provided in the post, It 's still ver 3.00.. The
drive info should appear as follows..

You are cutting & pasting, right? Anyway, see the link below for the latest
corresponding driver that I could find for your raid card, you know your
model if you see it..Just a thought, you might update the raid card driver
too..

Hope this info can help..
