4 Some of you may remember the problem I was having with my SATA II HDD in
5 Windows XP (but not in Linux). To recap: My drive got switched from
6 UDMA mode to PIO mode in Windows (only). I ended up having to reinstall
7 Windows.

9 After some careful investigation, I found that the problem was caused by
10 the copy protection of a game - Superpower 2. Worse, the problem was
11 not corrected when I removed the game. It took either a full reinstall
12 of the OS, or a restoration of the windows registry from before I
13 installed the game to fix this problem.

15 I know that this will not affect dedicated Linux users, but it can
16 affect those of you who use both windows and Linux.
