Slow Harddrive performance

search "kvm" for several recent threads on this. Be sure to get one that includes cables, as they cost an extra $6-20 per machine.
 
dont even bother, when the computer is up, disconnect the monitor and just use terminal services to connect to the other computer
 
thanks, I've decided I'll go with ternimal services for the comp.

Now I've got another issue to address. So I'll recycle this thread. 🙂
 
For your hard-drive problem, open Device Manager, expand the IDE/ATA Controllers, go into the Primary and Secondary controllers that are listed, and go to the Advanced tab and ensure the controller isn't using PIO mode. If it is, try enabling DMA but also be aware that if you have a bad cable, that could be the underlying cause of the problem. If in doubt, also try a nice boring flat ATA100 ribbon cable.
 
I've been switching around cables and
I'm still stuck at 3 MB/s.

The primary and secondary IDE channels are set to DMA if applicable, but in the "Current Transfer Mode" all of the boxes are set to "not applicable"


There is also a 3rd IDE controller I notice that is labled VIA Bus Master IDE controller which has no options for DMA <==could this be the prob?
 
Hmmm, interesting 😕 Next things I'd think about trying:

1) try reinstalling the latest VIA 4-in-1 driver package

2) try "uninstalling" all of the IDE controllers listed, then rebooting and letting Windows find them again.
