Try right clicking on the ide channel the NEC is present on and choose uninstall. Exit the device manager and reboot. Go back in and check again.

If that didn’t work try going into device manger and select DVD/CD Rom Drives, right click on the NEC 3540A and choose uninstall, once again reboot and check if the DMA is now set to Ultra DMA Mode 2.
