Guys I have an Asus A7N8X mobo, a DVD-ROM, a burner and a Hard Disk setup. Theres only 2 IDE channels, so I put the HDD dedicated on its own, and split the other IDE channel between the burner (as master on the end of th cable) and the DVD (as slave on the middle connector).
This sounded like a decent setup, as I don't do much direct CD copies and the burner works fine. However the DVD is running in PIO mode as a brisk 1.5x (its a 16x model), and I need the speed.
I didn't mess with the jumper settings (factory default) but I would probably guess they are on auto detect. I haven't found any BIOS options for manually setting DMA/PIO/whatever and I cannot apply them in windows XP |System.
Anyone know the best way to config them? I didn't think that setting one device to slave would automatically bump it down to PIO mode.
