Hello chaps, I must apologise, I feel a bit of a fraud as I'm far from the professional the membership form wanted me to be.
I've searched Google til my eyes bled, posted various "amateur" forums with no success, please help me?
Trying to get my ATA/100 HDD to run at a decent speed off my Nforce2 IDE controller (mobo, not PCI). At the moment it's behaving as if it was in PIO mode, but Xp has the IDE controller listed as ATA, and the BIOS has Ultra DMA set to auto.
So why can't I get a decent speed out of it? it's chugging along like something out of the Flintstones, wouldn't be surprised to open it and find a lizard running on a wheel.
It's all setup correctly, right cable (tried 2), correct jumper settings, this is the only drive on the IDE channel, Nforce2 ATA drivers are the latest from Nvidia.
I used to like computers, more importantly, they used to like me, I feel this is going to test our relationship..............
Many thanks to any who read this.
