Ugh Hard Drive Problems... Help!!

I recently purchased two hard drives for my system and now I have a total of 4 hard drives. I notice now that the transfer rate between my harddrives is HORRIBLY slow. Even transfering within the same harddrive it is slow. What the hell is wrong? Also I'm running off of Windows 98 SE.



 
Hmm thought I might add something.... I have 2 Hard Drives in my Promise Ultra ATA 100 card (both are master) and the other two are both master on the ide channels in the motherboard (my cd-rom drives and zip are in the raid channels, I didn't really bother to make a raid setup)
 
Hey there,

I am surprised it booted. 😕. Usually when both drives on an IDE cable are set to master then it
won't boot at all. I would suggest changing the IDE drives from Master and Master to Master to Slave.
Try that and see what happens. Well I would double check your RAID setup.
That's my $0.02.

it looks like you can run the "raid" channels as either IDE or raid. the cd-rom and zip should be on the regular IDE chanels. then put the hard drives on a channel each.
IDE 0 CD-ROM
IDE 1 ZIP
RAID 1 - hard drive
RAID 2 - hard drive
ATA card chnl 1 - hard drive
ATA card chnl 2 - hard drive
check the site for the drive manfctr and make sure the drives are set for "single". example , western digitals you remove ALL the jumpers for a single drive.
good luck
