You _do_ have to download and install drivers in Windows to enable the Ultra DMA 100 mode. Maybe they were preinstalled by your vendor? My HD was more than 4 times faster after installing the drivers and enabling DMA. That had to be done by hand in Windows also. > ide0: BM-DMA at 0xd000-0xd007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA >ide0: VIA Bus-Master (U)DMA Timing Config Success > ide1: BM-DMA at 0xd008-0xd00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA >ide1: VIA Bus-Master (U)DMA Timing Config Success >hda: Maxtor 94098U8, ATA DISK drive >hdb: IBM-DJNA-351520, ATA DISK drive >hdc: ASUS DVD-ROM E608, ATAPI CDROM drive >hdd: RICOH CD-R/RW MP7040A, ATAPI CDROM drive Your kernel seems to support at least some Ultra DMA modes, but I think Ultra DMA 100 is new in Linux 2.4. Anyway it should be safe to use the two hdparm commands I described earlier. They work fine on my Abit KT7A, which is also a KT133A board. -- GCP
