Sorry for the long post, I'm trying to be detailed here
The other day I bought a new HD
Western Digital 30 GB Ultra ATA/100 7200RPM w/2MB buffer
I Ghosted my old HD on to this and plugged into the Ultra ATA/100 on the MB using the cable that came with the drive.
This (after some jumper setting issues on the drive) worked and booted into WindowsME as normal. The problem is...When I launch a program it will hang, when connected on-line the first app I open (Outlook or IE) will work but any other app will fail to respond.
Puzzled I tried disableing ATA/100 detect in the BIOS (which turned off the Ultra port making me switch the cable to the standard IDE).
After doing this switch, everything worked good again. Now Being that I have an Ultra ATA/100 drive I want to use it's full functionality, does anyone know about this problem with the A7V's Ultra ports?
Or any driver updates that I should consider? (it has the original BIOS on the board, I think from January this year and the drivers are all original from ASUS)
I hate doing BIOS updates, that last time I did one I lost the floppy drive...so, lets try not to consider it please...)
