Hi,

Try this way:

Primary : Master - W.D harddisk
Secondary: Master - Pioneer DVD
Slave - Plextor CD/RW


Make sure the jumper setting of your DVD rom and CD/RW
are
set correctly. Also check the BIOS setting for the IDE
channels.

Also go the the following website to download the latest
ASPI drivers and utility for XP

My IDE channels configuratons is:

Primary : Master Western Digital 80Gb HDD "Ultra DMA 5"
Slave Pioneer DVD 117 16x/40x "PIO"
Secondary :Master -
Slave Plextor CDRW W1610A "Multi word DMA 2"

For Primary IDE the cable has 80 lines and 40 pins

I have Ms Windows XP Pro SP1
-------
The problem is that initially DMA was enabled
in Pioneer but without doing anything (after several
months)it turned to PIO.
Even if I tried to selected "DMA if availiable"
Windows doesnt change the acces mode to DMA
--Is there anything wrong with ASPI?
--Is there anything wrong with the CONFIGURATIONB of the
channels
--Is there any possible problem with the software I use
NERO 5.5... ,PowerDVD XP ,CloneCD 4...?
--Can I do smthn from BIOS (I have a cheap Elite
mother board)?
-----------------
Any help is more than acceptable @;-)
