Intel recommends not to use IAA with Windows XP, which implements all the
necessary drivers.
But I have some problems too.
System: Intel 100 Mhz board (Udma 5), with updated bios, 700 Mhz Pentium
III (no games, no frills), three HD drives, whose DMAs are 4, 4 and 6.
With right Udma IDE cables .
But no HD works at more than Dma 2 !!!
Any MS trick applied, deinstalled & reinstalled IDE channels, any.
So, any new suggestion ?
Thanks a lot.
