Incapable of ATA-133!

[Kenny]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general,microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

My hard drive supports it, my motherboard supports it, and I have a 80wire
cable that connects the motherboard and hard drive on the first IDE channel.
Nothing else is connected to that IDE.

Why cant I get ATA-133???

Are there cables that support only ata-100 and others that support ata-133?


Thanks kenny

You will need to install the UltraDMA drivers for that.

I know that VIA and Intel both have such chipset:

VIA: 4 in 1 Hyperion

Intel: Intel Application Accelerator.

And how do YOU know that UltraDMA mode 5 (ATA-100/133) is *not* being
supported? Don't expect benchmarks to show you get ATA-133 since your
PCI bus is shared with other devices. There is very little change from
ATA-66 speeds for ATA-100/133.

Have you checked in Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) to see if the IDE
controllers are actually configured to use UDMA mode 5? Set them to use
"DMA if available", reboot, and check again.

Of course, I'm presuming that you were already smart enough to install
the drivers for your motherboard's chipset. If Intel, the ones in
Windows are probably sufficient. If using a VIA, SIS, or nVidia chipset
then obviously you need to download the latest version chipset/platform
drivers from them and *install* them.

Hello

Also keep in mind thier is no real major gain between ATA100
and ATA133, so keep that in mind

No thanks. That's not important enough to replace the any of the stuff that
is already kept in my mind.

You were correct, by installing 4 in 1 hyperion I did achieve ata 133!
THANK YOU!
