Hello,
I have a T-Bird 1 ghz with 256 mb of cas2 micron RAM and a Maxtor 27.3 gb hard drive. I just did a fresh install of Win2000 professional on this machine and for some reason the hard drive's performance is very slow. It is a 7200 rpm drive with ultra 66. I have the hardware connected properly. When I first get into windows, when I check under primary IDE controller in device manager, it says its running in Ultra DMA mode, but shortly after running any type of program, if I check in Event Viewer, it says this message "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\DR0. " along with "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\DR0. " After this happens, if I go into Device Manager again, it says the drive is running in PIO mode. Anyone know what the cause of this could be? I just did a fresh install of Win2k pro and installed the newest VIA 4-in-1 drivers.
thanks
