Marvell IDE slows boot

Hey all, I have installed the latest Marvell IDE drivers from ASUS, for my DVD drives, and now it slowed the boot down by 15 seconds or so, and it tries reading my DVD drives 3 times on boot up, now I know thats not meant to happen. :rolleyes: Is there any way of getting this Marvell junk driver off my system?
 
That is interesting. Is there a disc in the drive? I worked on an old computer that would take forever to load only if there was a disc in the drive upon boot. Trying just uninstalling them, if they didn't fix a problem you may have had before, then there is no reason to update them.
 
I have no disk in the drive when it tries reading them, the reason for updating them, is because ASUS said it was a critical update. I am not too fussed, as it still boots in under 30 seconds, just wondering what was the cause. I have tried uninstalling them and re-installing them, with the same problem. Ill upgrade to SATA drives in the near future.

Look at your controller in the Device Manager they are on and see what Mode the controllers are running in. Sometimes after updating the drivers they will kick back to PIO mode. Set it to DMA or UDMA.

+1 Sata's are cheap and way faster
 
To rollback your drivers go to control panel - Device Manager - DVD/CD Drives. Then right click the drive and click "Properties". Then click the "Driver" tab. Then click "Roll back driver". If that doesnt work you then could click "Un-install". Then, find the older drivers that you originally had and install them again.

That should do the trick
