I have just purchased a 160Gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.7
drive to use as my new boot drive. On installing Windows
XP, the drive works perfectly, and Device Manager shows the
transfer mode for device 1 on my primary IDE channel (the
Barracuda drive) as Ultra DMA Mode 5. Every time, however,
that I install Service Pack 1 for Windows XP, the transfer
mode switches to PIO, and performance is awful. I have
tried installing Windows and then the Service Pack at least
4 times now, and the same thing happens every time. How do
I re-enable UDMA 5 under Service Pack 1? (Selecting 'Use
DMA if available has no effect - it still stays on PIO)
Thank you very much for your time.
