Thanks for the help but I find what you are saying hard to believe. This
system runs flawlessly. What jumpers are you speaking of? This board has
no jumpers. The hard drive is a Maxtor 80 GB IDE. Pretty generic. I have
tried it with two different CD burners. Hard drive and CD burner are on
separate channels and both have 80 wire cables. There is nothing set
improperly in the bios. All things IDE related are set to AUTO. Block mode
is on. I tried it with prefetch on and off, no difference. I have the new
bios for this board. I did not install any drivers from the Windows Update
site. I did uninstall the old drivers before loading the new.
I don't think this new ide driver is compatible with this board. Until
someone speaks up and confirms that it works on the 8RDA+ I'll continue to
think this way. I think there is an outside chance that this driver is
smart enough to know that it will hose my system if it were to install so it
does not.
