Hi
I have a Dell Dimension 3000 which came with one drive.
I added a second drive from my previous machine, installed as a slave.
The ribbon cable that came with the Dell was for only one drive, so I
used the old ribbon cable as well.
After testing on the new XP machine I ended up reformatting and
repartitioning the old drive.
In a test using PC pitstop, the observed "Uncached speed" on this second
drive is only 2MB/s. On my previous machine it was around 25 MB/s.
What have I done wrong installing this new drive?
