But switch the cd-rw and the hard drive and put the 2 drives on the same channel and you might not have to mess with setting the speeds. and another good command to check what speeds are on the same channel 'atacontrol mode (number of channel)' of course dont use parenthesis on any of that, and if you already know about what i said oh well, spreading my limited knowledge Jarrod admin@say-10.net On Mon, 8 Dec 2003 17:07:29 +1100 JacobRhoden wrote: > > JacobRhoden wrote: > > > I have just purchased a new 80GB drive, howerver i noticed it is running > > > significantly slower than my current 80gb drive. > > On Mon, 8 Dec 2003 04:38 pm, Jarrod wrote: > > Try 'man atacontrol' > > I typed 'man atacontrol' and it didnt seem to help!
