You're in the wrong place. This is for DVD recorders that replace your VHS video.
This question should be under PC hardware - DVD Rom drives.
However,
The answer for DMA/PIO modes is to navigate to device manager, find the tree for IDE/ATAPI controllers, expand the tree and uninstall the secondary IDE controller.
When you re-start XP it will automatically replace the tree you got rid of and it will switch on DMA mode automatically.
