Problem with Duron, A7v, CDR

I have been trying to enable DMA for my CD writer (Yamaha 8x8x24 IDE). It is not working because DMA must be disabled in the Bios (1004c) for the computer to recognize the drive. Whever I try to enable any (Ultra) DMA mode, I get an error saying that the drive fails. The drive is the Master (and the only thing) on the primary IDE channel as my hard drive is using the Promise controller. Any suggestions?
 
Thanks for the info.

Funny this should be true, because in the manual, instructions are given on how to enable DMA, and there is even a picture showing DMA enabled. I really would like to be able to run the drive this way because of the decreased CPU utilization.
