Hello,

I have the following problem with my windows xp box:
- my dvd (pioneer) is connected with 80-conductor cable.
- my motherboard is correctly handling udma of my hdd.
- bios detects that this dvd (at the moment: the only one on my primary
ide cable) is capable of udma 66
- win xp has the "udma if possible" set.
But I have still dvd running in pio mode.

Could anyone tell me where might be the problem ?

With regard,

Tomek Mêciñski
