For some reason Windows likes to default to PIO mode for optical drives.

It won't DEFAULT to PIO mode UNLESS the drive encounters errors reading a dirty disk. This is a well documented event.

I wonder I have to manually set the optical drives to UDMA from PIO every time I build a new computer.
Well, if putting the Windows disc in, following some simple instruction, and never having a problem with the installation is suck, that might be it. Otherwise, I always use top-rated parts from reputible vendors, so that's probably not it. The Windows discs I use (the only discs the machine sees before I set to UDMA mode) are new or in good condition, so that's likely not the problem either.Originally posted by: Dopefiend

Maybe you suck at computers, or you buy crappy parts?
