My second old computer (pentium 4 1,4GHZ, 256 sdr ram, board mercury KOB 845
NFSX - intel 845 chipset, geforce 4 ti 4200, matrox 6L040J2 - 40GB
7200rpm.(HDD supports ATA133 but mainboard only ATA100) a WIN XP SP2 prof
installed). HDD is working only on Ultra DMA mode 4 (ATA 66) with default
windows XP SP2 drivers. When I installed Intel Application Accelerator,
everything was fine, HDD was working very fast on ATA 100, but this Intel
Application Accelerator causes crashes during CD burning :( , so I had to
uninstall this Intel Application Accelerator. But then Hdd works again only
on Ultra DMA mode 4 (ATA 66). I also tried to install Intel Ultra ATA driver,
but It doesnt work (windows was unable to install this driver).
So PLS help me to run my HDD on ATA 100 (Ultra DMA mode 5) without Intel
Application Accelerator installed. This computer is used to watch films on
it, so I need fast HDD, when I copy films from DVD to HDD.
I use FAT32 btw.

It sounds like you have the hard drive and your CD / DVD burner on the
same IDE port / cable. This does not seem to be the optimal set up.
All hard drives should be on Ultra 100 IDE port (IDE0) for enabling
the Ultra speed and the CDs / DVDs on the second IDE port (IDE1.)
