on the Secondary it states that the current Transfer mode is Ultra DMA mode 2 
is this normal or should it also be Ultra DMA Mode 5

Hi Tim,
Yup, you're ok. I'm not sure how your system is configured, but Ultra DMA Mode 5 refers to the transfer mode of your hdd(s), whereas Ultra DMA mode 2 is typical for optical drives. The second link (More DMA help) in my sig is pretty informative and worth a look, even if you're not experiencing problems.
