just installed a new cdrw and the strangest thing

first some info.

2 HDs on the same channel
1 new CDRW on the other channel.

My brand new 52x drive can only write at 16x. The reason is that it seems
to only be able to read from the hard drive at that speed, or so says Nero.
Using it to check read speed in the preferences confirms this. The older
drive seems to be reading at 10x the newer one. Also, the older one is
using UDMA (as is the CDRW) and the newer HD just DMA (its a UDMA drive).
The newer drive is used mostly for storage and is the slave device. Since
windows only allows DMA or PIO in the device manager Im curious if maybe
there is a setting that is wrong, or maybe something else thats right in
front of my nose.

Ideas?

Thanks a bunch!

Nevermind, got it :-)

It was set wrong in the BIOS. Life is good now.
