I have 2 disks on Primary IDE Channel, and both in Ultra DMA Mode. On Secondary IDE Channel I only have the DVD writer. The Device manager tells me this about the Secoundary Master (where the DVD writer is):

Transfer Mode: DMA if available
Current transfer Mode: PIO Mode

Should i be able to use DMA on my DVD writer? I guess that i should convert the disk to NTFS instead of FAT32 alsow... will do that when i leave it the next time...

Ok, so the buffer is to high, thats probebly because of slow harddrive (maybe we can make it a bit faster), but what about the Rate? Is that alsow low because of this?

Shuld i have the disks and the DVD writer on diffrent IDE channels? i'm not sure from wich disk i will burn the most, or put my DVDs...
