Important!

Please read the entire DMA installation guide before installing your CD-R/RW drive.

About DMA Installation

For stable writing performance at high speeds, Installation of DMA transfer mode for
IDE/ATAPI interface is strongly recommended. Especially for writing at 12x speed,
DMA installation should be set to enabled on your PC system instead of PIO transfer
mode. If DMA is not set to enabled on your PC, the data transfer may become too
slow and resulting in data writing errors.
