I have just upgraded to xp pro from win me and my benchmarks for my IDE drive (80Gb Maxtor D740X (6L080J4) 7200rpm)have gone down through the floor i have used various tests and all the same its slow!,i can see it in windows it takes a second or two for it to minimize a window!!.
Ok now i have checked if its dma enabled and it is mode 5(ata100) also updated the latest via drivers for xp,all cables and hardware ok (been back to 98 and drive test back up) so it must be a windows setting.
Please help...my system is,
athlon xp1700,
cak38 cooler,
epox 8kha+ mb,
256crucial ddr ram,
maxtor hd,
asus 8200g3 deluxe card,
sony dvd,
24 liteon cdrw,
creative 5.1 sound card,
if anyone wants me to run other tests i will do so,
Try to leave a suggestion .....Thankyou.
