Not sure about DMA but a quick google found the following and it seems to be enabled.

The cables haven't been touched. As for the hardrive that hasn't been defragged sicnce I bought this PC which was years ago. Would that cause the fluctuating only when writing image files? I can burn data discs at full speed with no problems but when I burn an image file at above 2.4X the buffer always fluctuates at some point during the burn.

Does the fluctuating casue any negative effects on game disc and is it possible to burn these discs at a lower speed?

Thanks,
