I am unable to get my new Western Digital 120 GB hard
drive to perform under Ultra DMA mode in the secondary
(slave) position. Windows XP will only assign it the PIO
mode and the performance is very slow.
Similarly, the secondary DVD/RW drive is also forced into
PIO mode only and cannot be changed into DMA mode.
Both these drives are capable of Ultra DMA 5 performance,
but XP does not allow DMA mode.
Any fixes? Thanks James
