IDE Drivers will not allow UDMA for hard drives P4P800E-De..

I have tried a number of different drivers and still no good. DVD and CD
drives run in PIO mode only. Some of the drives are also in PIO mode.
Everything else seems to be okay.

Windows 2000 Pro, 512Mb memory, P4 2.8C

Any ideas?

"Onboard IDE Operate Mode" [Enhanced]
"IDE Port Settings" [S-ATA]

When operating in Enhanced mode (where all six possible
drives are mapped as PCI bus devices in hardware), the
only valid setting is [S-ATA]. The other settings cause
the hardware to slow down.

If you use the [Compatible] setting, then all
three possible port settings are valid choices,
as in that case, the port settings are selecting
four of six drives for use.
