Hard drive only runs in PIO mode
My primary IDE (hard drive) is in PIO mode, I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling and also everything in the article http://winhlp.com/node/10. It is set to 'DMA if available' as it should be. All drivers are up to date
I have found that I get 5 atapi timeout errors and 1 atapi controller error (6 in total), which I guess are causing the fallback to PIO. They occur on installation of the primary IDE, I don't get them on normal startup. I have downloaded the Western Digital diagnostics software but that has shown up nothing unusual, and there are no known issues with this hardware. Please help anyone, I'm desperate as I can't use my Computer for what I need it for!! I am a beginner, here are the specs that I know about HP Compaq ze4200 Win XP SP3 2.2Ghz Celeron M MB - Hewlett-Packard 002A NS570 Version PQ1A78 1Gb Ram 333MHz 160Gb Western Digital HDD |
