disable command queuing

[jpucks77]

Can someone tell me how to disable command queuing? I've tried googling it, but can't find instructions how to do so.

Apparently it's in device manager under my hard drives, but I don't see it anywhere. The closest I see to it under my hard drive properties is something called write caching. Is this the same thing?

That's where I thought it would be too, either there or under "Disc Drives". I don't see it anywhere. Hmmmmm

This is a link to Seagate FAQ about NCQ.

There's no worry of using NCQ HDD in non supporting NCQ mainboard. It'll automatically enabled or disabled.

Are you sure your hard drive supports NCQ? It may not. My 74GB Raptor (the new one with 16MB cache) supports it, so I disabled it, but my other two hard drives ( WD Caviar SE16 250GBs) don't, so there was no option under that menu.

i think you have to install chipset drivers to enable ncq. If you're using windows drivers for your ata controller, then it does not support ncq and i think that's why you cant find the option.
