Uninstall and reinstall the affected channel, "Primary IDE Channel" or
"Secondary IDE Channel". Reboot the system and Windows XP will reinstall
the driver for the channel.

Open Device Manager.
Double-click on IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
Right-click on Primary IDE Channel or Secondary IDE Channel and select
uninstall.
Click on "Ok".
Restart the system.
Upon restart, Windows will reinstall the Primary or Secondary IDE
channel.

I'll run a scan later because the smaller of the two drives is still
75GB, and it'll take all night.

Thanks!

Try running HD Tune(freeware).

Download and run it and see what it turns up.
http://www.hdtune.com/

Select the Info tabs and place the cursor on the drive under Drive
letter and then double click the two page icon ( copy to
Clipboard ) and copy into a further message.

Select the Health tab and then double click the two page icon (
copy to Clipboard ) and copy into a further message. Also do a full
surface scan with HD Tune.

Hi, all. Here's my dilemma.
I was using my boy's PC the other day to rip a DVD, when I noticed
his drive was running at least 2x what mine does. SO I got to
poking around in my system info, and found many strange things.
Both my HDDs are running at a lower UDMA mode than they are rated
for. In fact, one is, I believe, running in PIO, and defeats all
attempts to reset it. Here is info, taken from EVEREST:

As you can see, one's slow, one seems to be in totally non-UDMA
mode. In Device Mgr, under Primary IDE Channel, Device 0 seems to
correspond to the ST3800, and is shown at UDMA 2. Device 1 is
shown as PIO [Transfer Mode:DMA if available], with no option to
change it. I am at a total loss. I've tried everything I can
think of, from uninstalling the HDD and rebooting in hopes it
would redetect the UDMA settings,. to registry editing. Nothing
works. Help!!
