If Windows uses PIO mode instead of DMA, it probably have slowed down due to reading errors. To fix the slow-down, find
|
|
the registry key:
|
|
|
|
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
|
|
|
|
This contains the subfolders `0000`, `0001` and `0002`. `0001` is the primary IDE port and `0002` is the secondary. But
|
|
watch the entries in there and you'll get the idea.
|
|
|
|
The important values are `MasterIdDataChecksum` and `MasterDeviceTimingModeAllowed` as well as `SlaveIdDataChecksum`
|
|
and `SlaveDeviceTimingModeAllowed`. Delete the keys and reboot. Windows will re-detect the speed and should be back at
|
|
full DMA speed.
|
|
|
|
Usually, this should be fixed since SP2, but it seems to not work everywhere. You could try to force a retry by adding
|
|
a DWORD-entry `ResetErrorCounterOnSuccess` with a value of `1` to that key.
