Lucius Snow Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Hello all,I've got a problem with a Western Digital 60 GB ATA100 drive which runs in PIO only. So the speed goes around 2 MB/s only. The BIOS recognizes it well as UDMA5 but Windows XP (+SP2) see it as PIO only althought "DMA if possible" is selected in the IDE controller. The motherboard is an Asus P4PE and the chipset an Intel i845. So i've tried again after installing the chipset utlity but no change.Another hard drive, the same model, had the exact same symptom on my machine with another hardware configuration (chipset Intel i875). Of course i already tried different cables at 80 pins. My last attempt was to uninstall the Primary IDE channel in the device controller and reboot. I already did it in the past. However, this time, i got a blue screen 7B when restarting Windows. I've never been able to fix that error except by doing a repair installation of Windows.Any suggestion appreciated.Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
