When i benched my hard drive in SiSoft Sanfdra i get this warning

Warning W5205......................Low Write index. Check write verify is off


I used the F1 function for help or an explanation but the warning number is not listed. My bench is around 13600 for my 7200RPM 20G IBM Deskstar. I don't notice any problems with loaded things and such. Anyone know what this means and how/if i should fix it? My computer specs below......
 
That speed is a little better than a ATA66 drive. Is your drive an ATA100? Is your motherboards ATA controller capable of ATA100? And do you have the driver for it installed in your OS?

Final question, are you happy with the way it performs? If not then you should fix it, otherwise leave a happy system "HAPPY".
