pio dma problems

[idata]

Hi,

i have acer aspire 7740g with intel 5 series 3400 ide controller.

In device manager(primary ide channel,adv settings) current mode is pio. Is this normal? Because disk is really slow.

Os was installed in ide(not ahci) mode, so i wonder if this could be the problem.

If it is, is any way to switch to ahci mode without reinstalling os?

Oh yes, and disk is hitachi HTS545032B9A300, os is win xp pro sp2.

Because i am a newbie .

Yes it should be at least at Graphics and chipset section.

I don't know which is producing the low disk transfer rate, the chipset(intel) or disk(hitachi).

Anyway i used hitachi ftool, but could not use it(pc-dos mode on usb key), it hangs...

Ok, thanks for replies, i'll try at hitachi forums.
