A "fix" that doesn't require editing the registry involves:
Going into the Control Panel, and open System.
From System, go to the Hardware tab, and open the Device Manager.
Find the IDE channel in the device list that your DVD-ROM is attached to. I think in your case the Secondary IDE Channel. Select it, and hit delete to remove it.
Reboot.
Hopefully it will redetect it and allow you to verify it is in DMA mode.
Now, I had a problem where my Asus 52x CD-ROM on the same IDE channel would not let my DVD-ROM go into DMA mode. The only solution was to give away the Asus CD-ROM, because it was a piece of junk.
Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him...a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
