Hi there,

I'm lookinbg for help with the following problem:

I've recently installed a Samsung hard drive in my computer: model
Spinpoint SP0411N. It's a 40 GB 7200rpm ATA133 drve. I'm running Windows
2000 SP4 with the Intel IDE drivers for my Intel board, the so-called
"Intel Application Accelerator". AFAIK ATA133 corresponds to so called
UDMA mode 5 and this is also what the BIOS autodetects. However, the Intel
app shows the current DMA mode being UDMA mode 2. This value is detected
and can't be set manually. The only value that can be set is the _max_
UDMA value, which defaults to 5.

I'm wondering why the drive's UDMA mode isn't set correctly and what I
could do to correct this. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

TIA,

Andrei
