I don't see any section "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" in device manager:

What does this mean? and Can I know on which devices DMA can be enabled?

Your M6-1214TX doesn't have an IDE interface. It uses SATA to connect the internal disk, just like most other computers made in the past 7–10 years, and SATA always uses DMA; you couldn't even turn it off.

Not sure about where it shows up in Device Manager, though. It's possible that Win8 lists SATA controllers under "Storage controllers" next to other types (SCSI and such).

Why would you even think DMA is not enabled? To see how your disk drive is connected, use the “By connection” view and search for it there. If I were to venture a guess, I’d say it’s a Memory Technology Device, a type of embedded flash memory.
