Windows 2000

[Fungus]

I run windows2000, sp4, with all patches.

I have an ASUS tuv4x motherboard with latest bios, the chipset is a via apollopro 133T and I have also installed the latest 4 in 1 drivers for it.

My hard drives are Seagate Barracuda's, and I have brand new 80 pin cables.

I cannot get udma 100, it is set this way in bios... it always goes to udma 66. The harddrives are also enabled to use udma100.

I have searched the net with no success, this was supposed be fixed way back with sp2... on my other computer with 440BX chipset it works fine...

anyone can help with this?

(P.S. the registry hack to add UDMA100 does not work)

That is not Windows or registry problem, but your Via driver.

I had few times same problem.

Remove primary and secondary ide channels in Device Manager, install latest Via 4-in-1 driver, restart, let it detect them again and hope it works.

One of the reasons why I always avoid Via chipset-based mobos if possible...

I dunno, because according to Microsoft, this only occurs if you're using Windows 2000 without a service pack.
