Double check all connections and jumpers. Go into device manager and check the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. Open up each controller for primary and secondary/and click advanced settings tab and look for UDMA/DMA/or if available. You may have 1 or more channels in pio mode which is bad.That will slow it down. When you find the one/s in pio mode: Click driver tab/uninstall/and reboot.More than 1 in pio mode,then uninstall 1 channel at a time and reboot. Windows xp should reboot and place the transfer mode into DMA or UDMA mode.
