All DVD drives support UDMA (by necessity).. your DVD drive is an IDE 
model.  I suspect your kernel doesn't have support for the IDE chipset 
in your notebook and is falling back to generic IDE.  I'm sorry, but I'm 
not sure how to help you identify the IDE chipset you need.

As for your Hard Drive, that's a SATA drive, there's no need to set 
transfer modes with hdparm for those (as you can see, it doesn't work 
anyhow.).. Don't worry, you're getting full performance from the hard drive.
