And another alternative, courtesy of Han with some additional elaboration by Null (this applies to both XP and 2000):

If deleting the IDE channel and your burner from Device Manager doesn't help, open the Registry (Start -> Run -> Regedit) and open the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Class \ {4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Within this key you will find several subkeys. Most likely you will see the following:

0000 (for the IDE controller)

0001 (for the Primary IDE channel)

0002 (for the Secondary IDE channel)

Each of these subkeys has a named valued called "DriverDesc" that will make it clear to you to which component they correspond. Open the subkey corresponding to the channel on which your troublesome drive is located. Then, if the troublesome drive is the master, delete the "MasterIdDataChecksum" named value. Or, if the troublesome drive is the slave, delete the "SlaveIdDataChecksum" named value.

Reboot. The OS will redetect the device DMA capabilities after reboot.

Note that for many older CD-ROM drives DMA can not be enabled in Windows 2000/XP, so be sure to check the capabilities of your particular drive if you continue to have problems.
