Please help… my ata100 hard drive slowed to ata66 speeds after
upgrading from XP home to XP pro! The drive is listed as dma
mode 5 in the drive properties, but I’m sure this isn’t true
because of the slow slooow performance I’m getting. Running
sisoft sandra confirmed this as the drive tested exactly on par
with an ata66 drive (I had typical ata100 test results in XP
home). I’ve installed the latest via drivers of course.. and i also
tried the older 4.38 4in1's but that didn’t fix it. Oh and this exact
same thing happened when I upgraded another, much newer
computer (with a via chipset) from XP home to XP pro. I don’t
know what to do.
oh, and when i look at the 4in1 folder in the registry, it lists:
"defoult"
"4in1AGPfile"
"4in1delfile"
"4in1INFfile"
"4in1path"
"4in1version"
"viamach"
is there suposed to be a "4in1IDEfile" in there? And, for the
4in1path, it says its in ..temp\pft5~tmp\ is this the correct directory?
thanks
