UDMA for CD-ROM?

Hi. I'm sure that my 48X Samsung CD-ROM drive supports UDMA, yet under Windows 2000, when I look at the Secondary IDE controller properties (my cd drive is the master drive on the secondary IDE) it reports my CD-ROM drive as using the old PIO mode, and I am unable to change anything. Should I be able to use UDMA or do all CD drives use PIO mode(because I know the older drives in my other PCs use PIO) I have an ALI chipset.

Make sure that UDMA is enabled in the bios and that you have run the latest motherboard chipset drivers and enabled UDMA in the installation.
