You could try a new IDE cable. Or at least reseat the present one. I know if the cable is developing problems the system will drop down your transfer rate. Once it drops down there is no way to get it back up short of reinstalling your IDE drivers. Anyway, something cheap to try, at least.

Thanks for the info. I was dragging my feet because I'm too cheap to use the 2X media. But I guess I will do it now if it might cause damage to the drive.
Gosh, a free upgrade with a free disk available from a company that cares about it's customers! Are you listening Microsoft and HP?
The universal cats will work on anything. The factory parts are very overpriced. But they are probably so expensive because of the connections (oxygen sensor, etc) that are attached to them. If nothing is attached to the cat by all means use a universal.
The earlier 5.0 V-8s had something of a...
Beautiful downtown Oakland, California
Crime index 214 (should be updated to about 400 though).
I think there have only been about 200 murders here this year, probably the highest in the nation, so I feel pretty safe.
I just reinstalled/reformatted a fresh copy of WPX prior to the SP being available. When I reinstalled zone alarm it keeps asking if I want ALG to act as my server? I was worried about XP accessing the net to do the strange downloads, etc through the media player updates, so I said NO. I haven't...
I think we all tend to repress just how horrible young people treat each other. I mean they routinely cause physical and mental violence that would put an adult into jail. Just part of growing up, so they say. But as kids get more mature with higher responsibility faster, there comes a point...
You'll really only have a power gain if your engine computer can compensate for the modifications. Installing slightly larger injectors was good, but make sure you also have the proper fuel pressure to run them. The stock pump (I think still in the tank on GM) will only handle slight increases...
Yes, I agree about the Panasonics. I think if my Pioneer ever craps out I will probably go with the Panasonic. Either that or put a Pioneer in a firewire setup, or off of a separate ide card. I hear they work very well in these setups.
BTW my reading of your FAQs was very helpful in my decision...
I definitely wouldn't advise using UDMA mode on a A04. If you read the different forums you will see they all advise against this. Mine would work on UDMA2, but it would burn coasters or lock up about half the time while burning. I now have it set on PIO mode and it works fine. And yes, it is...
I can multi-task on my machine while burning a DVD-R with my 1.4 Athlon rig. It is just so ridiculously slow that you won't want to. Using Nero I am almost always at 95-100% CPU usage. I think that is typical even when you have a faster processor, it just grabs all of the available memory and...
MP3s on a DVD. That must be a lot of music!
I burn mostly video DVDs, but I had a similar problem with my Pioneer 104 drive. Try using PIO mode in your ide configuration for that channel, it seems to work much better than UDMA. The burner only burns at 1X so this will not affect performance. I...
