If you installed SP2 and both your Hard Drive and Mainboard support ATA 100 then it will be running it. Intel has a tool you can download off their web site to check it if its an intel board. For nonintel boards I am unsure. Anyone else have any thoughts? James Collins

When I boot, my bios displays a little table (not for long, though) that shows my ATA100 drive as UDMA 5, my ATA66 drive as UDMA 4, and my DVD and CDRW drives as UDMA 1 and 2 (not sure which is which). This is without going in to anything separately, mind you, just every boot.

OK, I'll have a look there too. But if anyone does no of a way of checking from windows then I'd like to here about it. I have an AMD761 chipset.
While I'm here... the cable I got with my MoBo looks the same as my old UDMA66 cable. Are the 66/100 cables the same??
Many thanks,
elziko

First, you need to check to make sure that you are using an 80 pin IDE cable.
Second, open up the device manager in Win 2K and expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI controller. Double click on the Primary IDE channel. Click on the advanced settings tab...Make sure that the transfer mode is set to: DMA If Available.
This will ensure that you are getting UDMA on all of your drives.

Thanks...
So, if any 80 pin cable is ok then the UDMA66 cable is the same as the UDMA100 cable?
"This will ensure that you are getting UDMA on all of your drives"
UDMA33/66/100 ?!?! Which one is what I need to know
I don't have Win2K in front of me now so forgive me. Does it tell you which PIO mode it is?
Cheers
