I have a MSI Delta K7N2 Delta system with Win2K and 2 hard drives on one cable. Drive C is a WD 80GB drive and drive D is a Maxtor 120 GB drive. The WD drives always runs in UltraDMA mode.
The Maxtor drive only runs in PIO mode when I check the ide channel. If I plug another drive onto that connector and check the channel it will run in UltraDMA mode. I even switched to a new C drive with WinXp on it and the Maxtor still ran in PIO.
Maxtor sent me a new drive and it will only run in PIO mode. So I went back to my Win2K setup and plugged in 3 different drives to that connector and they all came up UltraDMA.
I plugged the 2 maxtors in (testing each one seperately) and they came up in PIO. I even uninstalled the channels and had windows reinstall them.
This is driving me crazy as the Maxtor drive is my capture drive and is killing me because it is so slow.
Any ideas on what may be stopping the Maxtor drive from running full speed??
Thanks
