1 Pioneer DVD-ROM on Secondary IDE as master

Everything is working okay, but having some DMA issues. DMA is allowed to be enabled for my cd rewriter, but when enabled, Windoze does not detect the thing. No problem, I turned it off.
However, I need DMA enabled on my DVD-ROM as the hardware specifically calls for it. It gives me a DMA checkbox in the device manager. I check it. It prompts me to restart. I restart and go to the device manager to verify, and voila, the box is cleared.
I've tried switching the drives to opposite ide ports. Before I installed the CDRW, DMA was enabled just fine for the DVD. I have no idea how installing the CDRW to a completely seperate IDE port would have any effect whatsoever. Please help!
