Is your DVD units SCSI, if so you will not be able to use hdparm to set any options. hdparm doesn't work with SCSI unit, you can list the parameters but not set them. My BenQ DW1620 is an IDE unit connected to hdd so I should be able to set the parameters using "hdaprm". I can set some parameters but not DMA with "-d1" -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
