For some reason my computer is working on ata 100 while the motherboard and
the HD can do ata 133. Why? is there a way to change it?
I am using a 80 cable.

Any ideas???

Open your BIOS and check the hard drive transfer rate settings.

HD UDMA 6 is only 5 in Windows.
What to do:
Check and redetect Hd(s) and other drives in BIOS on a reboot. May have to
manually fine-tune to 6 on a few MBs==>Generally when Bios version is an
older one.

everything is automatic on the motherboard. It should be recognized as 133
