Wrong DMA Mode for hard drives.

I just installed two hard drives recently, both of which are ata133, and they are both being detected in system devices as DMA Mode 5, when they should register as DMA Mode 6. Does anyone know how to remedy this? Is it an easy fix?
 
Nevermind. Why do I always seem to post five minutes before I figure out what the problem is? I guess I should be a bit less hasty and be more thorough.
 
I'm guessing as to what the reason actually is - the IDE controller they're connected to only supports ATA100?
 
No, I had installed the drivers with the update driver feature, instead of installing the whole package. I had to install the whole package to get it recognized.
