re: slow hard Drive Tuesday, July 1, 2008 at 3:18 pm Posted by Spexx (1951 messages posted) There may be issues with a SATA drive and a IDE drive co-existing on the system. First check your BIOS Advanced settings for "combined" or "enhanced" mode SATA. If that does not sort it out, try removing the "master" jumper on the IDE drive as this is reported to work too (can't think why though). This Google search turned up a few leads which may apply in your case too. Hope this helps. Cheers. Spexx.

I was reading from the link provided and I fixed the problem. I went to the bios and selected on one of the drive that I don't boot from "don't detect". Windows XP found the hard drive and now every thing works fine. Once again thank you.
