MS-DOS Compatibility Mode HELP

[n8in99]

I am receiving the following messages under my System Performance window:

Compatibility Mode Paging reduces overall system performance
Drive C is using MS-DOS compatibility mode file system


Windows says that it is an error in my config.sys, but I've tried everything with this file and no luck.

Any help very much appreciated.

Check your Autoexec.bat file too and just REM out every line (and double check your Config.sys file while you're at it). Reboot and if that doesn't work then there's a slim shot that you can fix through the registry. Get into your registry and then click on Find and then type in NOIDE (it shouldn't matter if it's capital or not). Now if it does find something I believe that all you have to do is get rid of the NOIDE registry entry, reboot the system and you should be good to go.

I fixed it!

What I did is downloaded the Intel chipset Ultra ATA controller driver and reinstalled my Primary and Secondary Ultra ATA controller, and that worked. I did REM out the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat and that disabled the real mode drivers for the CDROM(s).

Thank You very much for your help.

Now make sure UDMA's enabled for your IDE channels.
