Hi,
I recently put together a computer, 1.2 ghz Athlon @ 1.2 ghz, 512 MB PC133 ram, Abit KT7A, Voodo 3 2000, Enlight case, AMD approved 300 W power supply and a MAXTOR 30 GB DIAMONDMAXPLUS HD. ATA 100, 7200 RMP <8.7 seek time. Here is the problem: Cached Speed: 257.88 MB/S
** Uncached Speed 1.86 MB/S I think it should me atleast 3 times higher.** Uncached speed is pathetic. I think the average is about 5 MB/S.
Does this have anything do to with my problem, orginally I partioned the hard drive to fat 16 and installed windows 2000. I only had a 2 GB C: I booted the computer up using a boot floppy and from the windows 2000 cd i went format c:. Then i put fat 32 on using the program provided by maxtor. Install windows 2000 again. Now I have a 28 GB hard drive. What gives? Is this something to do with my first fat 16 partition? I already defragmented my hard drive so its not tthat. Does my motherboard need drivers?? I dunno Any help would be very very appreciative.
Major concern: Uncached Speed.
Minor concern: Missing 2 GB
Thanks
