[chopchop]

asrock 939 dual
hitachi 250gb sata2
winxp sp2

i installed this driver : SATA Driver, Ver. 2.0.7 from http://www.asrock.com.tw/support/Download/dl_939Dual-SATA2.htm
rebooted and changed from ide mode to sata. now my hddtach score and sisoft sandra hdd scores have dropped, from 160mb/s burst and 55mb/s average, to 80mb/s burst and 30mb/s average.

if i uninstall the driver it keeps coming back :|

Are you only running one drive the deskstar? Have you enabled sata 2 on the drive using the feature tool?

one sata drive, yes its set to sata2. it was fine after doing that, just went slow after installing the sata2 drivers.
