I have a 80 Gig G2 hard drive in win 7 32 and 64 runs like a sata 1 max read speeds is 130, but i also did a fresh install of linux Ubuntu 10.04 and used its disk utility and it reads at 280 whatthe heck is going on with win 7
From the information you have provided, I have not been able to determine why you are only getting gen 1 speeds. You will need to contact the laptop mfg to confirm if they have enabled SATA for gen 1 speed only.
