Slow IDE performance.. = bad mobo? *

[larciel]

*UPDATE*

looks like whole IDE channel is slow.. i don't know if it's the chip or not.. but i believe mobo is bad

can't be driver fault, because it's slow w/ regular MS IDE driver as well as latest Intel chipset driver.

(and WinXP installation is SLOW as heck.. )

did i get bad mobo? (i've tried flashing 3 times now)

I' finally got how to install RAID drivers in win steup w/out pressing f6..

but new problem begins there.

when setup is formating the partition (physically two WD2000JB in RAID 0 on onboard MBFasttrak 133 Lite) , it takes about 5 min for 60gb formating (quick format)

and computer response is REALLY slow, i can't even install the winxp...

i've tried different cables.. no luck,, can't find the updated BIOS ..

anyone have same problem?

How do you have the jumpers set on the drives?

When you setup the ARRAY, did it lag just as it does formatting?

did you check to make sure your running the drives as auto in the bios? <-- #2 cause
did you check to make sure your bios is being cached? <-- #1 cause
did you check your memory/fsb timings? <-- last ditch effort
