First my specs:
AMD athlon 1 ghz
512 mb memory
Nvidia MX video
Abit KT7a RAID motherboard with VIA chipset
Onboard Highpint controller
winxp pro
Problem:
Two weeks ago i attached a maxtor 40 GB harddisk to the IDE connector at the highpoint controller of the mainboard as a master. The slave is a identical drive with support for UDMA5.
Winxp doesn't see the drives as UDMA5 drives but as PIO mode 4 drives. The option is set to use DMA if available.
When i do a speed test with sandra2002 the result is the half of a dma33 rive 30GB!
When i look at the information in sandra2002 the maxtor drives are under the section: ATA/ATAPI information and the current status is PIO MODE 4!!
The cdrom and CDRW wich are connected to the IDE1 and IDE2 both as master connected are under the section: SCSI information. This is strange but i am sure that the drive are properly connected with a 80 pin cable. There is no doubt about it.
How can i change this?
Thanks,
