Karl 0 Posted October 15, 2001 Well here's the story, First of all here are my system specs. Board: Abit KG7-R (761 north, 686B south) CPU: Amd 1.4Ghz Memory: (1) 256MB PC2100 Unregistered DIMM CD-ROM Drives: Secondary Master -- Acer 8X4X32 CD-RW Secondary Slave -- Pioneer 107S (7X DVD Slot) HDD: Primary Master -- Maxtor 30GB 7200RPM UATA 100 Primary Slave -- Empty (IBM 60GB 7200RPM on order) AGP: Geforce2mx W/TV-OUT PCI: Slot 0 -- Empty Slot 1 -- Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Slot 2 -- Empty Slot 3 -- Empty Slot 4 -- Linksys 100TX NIC Slot 5 -- Empty Raid: Enabled Floppy Drive: Disabled (floppy drive? we don't need no stinking floppy) OK so this is what is happening. I installed XP this morning. everything seamed to work great. I didn't install any drivers no proformance hits. About 12 hours in while talking in Bersirc I got a coredump. After re-start I noticed massive lag and audio skipping. I then looked at the Controler settings. My HDD was set to PIO I then looked at the CD-ROM's they were still UDMA. I downloaded all of the drivers from Abit, no improvement. I then thinking from past experince with the udma on the BP6 I disabled the Raid controller and everything went back to normal. I was planning on using the controller so if anyone has any idea of a trick so that I can re-enable it without going back to the dark ages in terms of HDD transfer it would be great!
