P4P800 Primary IDE Channel device 1 transfer mode problem

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

I have a P4P800 that is dual boot. My device 0 is the C: drive and is my XP
gaming boot. My device 1 is the D: drive and is my Standard XP install.
Both are brand new installs. The standard boot is showing the primary IDE
D: drive tranfer mode as PIO and the C: drive as Ultra DMA Mode 5. When I
boot off the C: drive it shows both drives at Ultra DMA Mode 5. The device
mode is set to "DMA if available". Both drive are set to cable select on
the jumpers. How do I get the D: drive out of PIO mode in the standard
boot?

Thanks in advance,

Jay

I seached the internet an found my solution....If the IDE controller has
problems communicating with the hard drive then it will drop down to PIO
mode and stay there forever. I had to uninstall the IDE controller and
reboot. When my PC rebooted it installed the IDE controller and returned to
UDMA 5 mode. Thanks for the advise.
