Hi folks, i hope there is someone out there who is able to help me :/
I have bought the Seagate 320gig harddrive and I installed it as the
primary master device.
I changed the jumpers from 'CABLE SELECT' to 'MASTER'.
So my PC configuration reads as follows:
PRIMARY:
-ST3320620A (master)(PIO MODE)
-Maxtor 6Y060P0 (slave) (UDMA 6) (200 gig)
SECONDARY:
-Maxtor 6Y060L0 (master) (UDMA 6) (60 gig)
-LG GSA-4163B (slave) (UDMA 2)
My mainboard is the AsRock K7VT4A+ and I am using a 80-ide-cable.
I tried switching the ST3320620A around (secondary/slave/master) but still
the same results under Windows.
My bios recognizes it as UDMA 5 capable and with 320gb capacity but
Windows does not.
I have Windows Media Center Edition (which includes sp2) installed and the
option
'DMA IF AVAILABLE' is selected under device manager.
I have set the ST3320620A alone on primary master just for a test but
still PIO mode.
My other configuration is:
Connect 3D! Ati x850Pro
Creative Audigy 2 Value
I have tried the windows drivers for the IDE devices as well as the VIA
Hyperion drivers but to no avail.
I tried uninstalling the windows drivers and reinstalling them but nothing
changed.
I ran the seagate diagnosis utility and it showed no problems during the
short & long harddrive test.
The ST3320620A peaks at a reading speed of 3.127 KB/s.
I have the newest bios updates installed.
I tried installing the new hyperion but nothing changed, deinstalling the
IDE busmaster drivers too, I installed windows fresh on the new seagate but
still its PIO mode. Switching between slave, master/primary, secondary
doesnt change the fact that it is still PIO and everything else runs fine on
UDMA.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeease can anyone help me ...
Thanks for your patience and time.
Regards
