    I cant seem to enable my second dvd burners DMA.

    Dell Dimension 8400
    Dual Lite-on DVD burners set on primary IDE drive
    160GB ATA second IDE drive

    The hard drive is the secondary drive because its ATA,and i dont know how to change that.
    The DVD burners are the primary because they are IDE.

    Thats how dell sent me the computer and i only Installed the two DVD burners.TOP burner is the master and second is slave.

    Ive tried unsatlling the drivers and rebooted,just the Master and Hard drive is DMA enabled.
