In device manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers ->
Primary Controller for Device 0 under advanced settings
the transfer mode is set to: DMA if avaliable, the
Current Mode is: PIO Mode. I have other devices that are
in Ultra DMA Mode 2 on my computer (Like the cd-rewriter
and dvd) The hard drive is a IC35L060AVVA07-0 (IMB
Deskstar, 60GB) which is on its own ide cable connected
to the primary connector on the motehrboard. I am using
windows XP Professional and the Asrock K7VM2 Motherboard.
I have the latest VIA 4 in 1 Drviers, and all current
Windows XP updates.
Also, when i start up my computer and it detects the
devices for the hard drive it says its in Ultra DMA Mode
5, but in windows it isnt.

Thank You for your time and help.
