Hello James, |
29 |
|

Well, since this this thing is nearly brand new, and UDMA worked in |
31 |
Windows until some time after I installed Gentoo (I don't think Gentoo |
32 |
had anything to do with it), I doubted it was the BIOS - I checked |
33 |
anyway. Everything that should be enabled is set correctly. |
34 |
|
35 |
I am certain that it is a Windows problem - probably from some software |
36 |
I installed. Anyway, thanks for the advice. |
37 |
|

Regards, |
39 |
Chris |
