Sampson 0 Posted May 14, 2002 Right click My Computer, Select Properties, Select Hardware Tab, Click Device Manager button. Click on the (+) next to IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. Right click on Primary IDE Channel, Select Properties, Click on Advanced Settings Tab, Click on the Pull down arrow, Select PIO only. Share this post Link to post

Sampson 0 Posted May 14, 2002 Some have succeeded by using the Intel controller drivers rather than Windows. Share this post Link to post
Rayden911 0 Posted May 15, 2002 I think its not chipset specific. But this is on a VIA board. Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted May 15, 2002 I think, but am not positive, that you can set a VIA based board through the bios depending on which VIA IDE drivers you are using. Take a look at this page: http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=66 Share this post Link to post
Rayden911 0 Posted May 17, 2002 The bios sees it as udma5 but xp forces slowwwwwwwwww pio mode Share this post Link to post
