Is DMA enabled on that drive? Double check that in your Device Manager. Is your DVD player software using hardware acceleration? Double check that in your settings in the software itself (where those settings are will entirely depend on what software you use)

Sounds like maybe DMA is disabled in your bios, or your cable is damaged as to not allow it. I've never actually seen Windows tell you "unavailable" unless there simply wasn't a drive installed...

Wierd.

What software are you using to play DVDs?

Do you get the same effect when playing a DVD through Windows Media Player?
