If you have an Intel CUSL2 mainboard with the 815E chipset, you should first install the <A HREF="http://developer.intel.com/design/software/drivers/platform/inf.htm" target="_new">Intel Chipsets Software Installation Utility</A>. Then, after a reboot, the <A HREF="http://downloadfinder2.intel.com/scripts-df/download.asp?url=/4625/eng/iaa222_enu.exe" target="_new">Intel Application Accelerator</A>, which updates the older drivers.
Afterwards, the advanced tab will no longer be available in the Device Manager, and the DMA settings for each device on both channels will be shown in the Start Menu, under the Intel Application Accelerator listing.
Try this out, and see if it corrects your problem. If not, you may have to uninstall the drivers you previously installed in Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall the IDE channels and ATA/ATAPI controller (in that order) from within the Device Manager, which should be replaced and reinstalled after a reboot by Windows with the default MS drivers. Afterwards, you should be able to install the drivers I've listed, with the Software Installation Utility being installed first, <i>before</i> applying the Application Accelerator.
