I've been reading up on how PIO causes burn underrun errors with just about any program. In attempt to fix this problem, I unintalled the IDE things, but when I uninstall the Primary IDE Channel, my computer will not boot up unless I select use last good configuration. This obviously replaces the primary IDE and the PIO mode as well. Am I missing something, or does my computer just suck? The Secondary IDE uninstalls and reinstalls fine, but that doesnt fix the underruns.

I'm sorry to inform you, but you are the third choice.
Right click My Computer>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager>Click + beside IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers>highlight Primary IDE controller>Advanced settings tab folder>transfer mode>enable DMA if available. Repeat the above instructions for Secondary IDE controller> reboot your pc and check your dma settings m8.

I've had DMA if available, but the transfer mode is still PIO. The information is as follows
[Primary IDE Channel]
Device 0
Device Type: Auto Detection (greyed out)
Transfer Mode: DMA if available
Current Transfer Mode: PIO Mode (uneditable)
Device 1
Device Type: Auto Detection
Transfer Mode: DMA if available
Current Transfer Mode: Not Applicable
Secondary IDE Channel does not have advanced settings. Remember, I tired to uninstall the Primary, but the computer won't boot up after that unless I restore it.

I fixed the problem by using a new method not discussed in the other threads! Apparently, although the computer cannot reboot if I uninstall the primary IDE, it can update the IDE. By doing this, the advanced tab disappeared completely, but the cds burn wonderfully! I know, I have a f*-*ed up computer.
