UDMA Problem on the K7s5a

[storm897]

I have the Primary IDE channel controller transfer Mode set to "DMA if available" in the control panel on windows 2000 and it sets the Hard drive to PIO Mode. This Hard drive is UDMA 66 compatible. In the Bios I have tried changing the settings around but to no aval.
What could be the problem?

anyone?

Are you running SP2?
I believe it fixes this problem.

Could also be something wrong with the harddisk. Try putting it as a secondary drive into a running system and check transfer speed

I instaled SP2 but will try and transfer that HD to another computer and see what happens. It is supposed to be UDMA 66 capable.

Got It!!!
I forgot to install the SISIDE drivers after the win2k install.
Installing those gave me UDMA in windows 2k. Making windows 2k UDMA available alone wont do it.
