It isn't, and can't be turned on. If I select the DMA checkbox for the CDRW drive, I get a popup box that says:

"UNSUPPORTED HARDWARE ALERT
Changing this setting may have undesirable effects with your hardware. Contact your hardware vendor to ensure that this setting is supported. Hit OK to continue."

If I click OK (leaving the box checked) and reboot, it's unchecked when Windows restarts.

My hard drive does not have a DMA check box in Device Manager. (Disconnect and Sync Data Transfer are checked.)
