Thanks very much to you both - I have downloaded the files and will try the drivers. However, I have removed some of the laptop covering to inspect the hard drive and its very short cable connection. I notice it only has 40 wires, will this therefore limit me to UDMA2. Also will the upgrades...

I upgraded my notebook from WinMe to XPPRo. Now the hard drive seems to be much slower - awfully slow - than before. The SIS 630 IDE driver for Win XP, says UDMA4 is possible but that it is only running at UDMA 2. There is no option to up it. As it is mobile the HD seems to plug into the...

John Many thanks for your continued help. I do not have a scanner termination block but I could ask around the local hardware stores tomorrow to see if I can get one. Are you reasonably sure this could be the culprit? Regards Phil

Unfortunately I cannot do this as the owner has gone on a weeks holiday and I cannot get into his premises to try it Thanks Phil

Thanks john No the delay is still the same, about 30/35 seconds even though normal start up has been resumed. There are no config,sys or autoexec.bat messages when Escape is pressed. On the msconfig box there are no entries under either tab. Regards Phil

Thanks John Yes thats where i inserted the IP address, i did not enter the subnet mask but when I checked now it is there automatically. The delay is certainly less but not cured. Thanks Phil

Thanks jrbarnett I took it that you meant assign an IP address to the TCP/IP protocol, if you meant on the card itself I could not see where. It did help speed it up but after the bios boot it now insists on offering the options of 1.Normal, 2.Bootlog.txt safe mode etc... If you have enabled me...

If I transfer some files to a hard drive from an Iomega zip disk would the files now on the hard drive contain any remnants of information that the files originally wrote over the top of that may have been on the Zip drive. My concern is that you hear recovery is possible of data deleted...
