i appologize about the other post, im new here, and didnt realize what topic i wuz on
my primary drive recently went into PIO mode, and i wuz wondering if ne one knows if its possible by software, or some other means, 2 take it out of PIO mode. it wuz my fault, and it may b damaged. i wuznt paying attention and my elbow slammed into it, hard, hard enough 2 freeze it, and knocked it into PIO mode. it wuz running dma mode 5, but is now in PIO. its a western digital 80 gig special edition, IDE version. ive already ordered a new drive, same drive except its a sata version, and im hoping 2 b able 2 ghost it. id still like 2 use this drive for storage, but its kinda useless in PIO mode. ne help would b appciated.
