Hello everyone,

I am trying for some time to solve my sata problem with no luck.
I have the following configuration:

mo: P4P800 Deluxe
Latest BIOS: 1016
MSI FX5600 video
On Primary Controller: HDD: 40 Gb Seagate PATA hard disk, with Windows 2000 on it;
On Secondary Controller: two CD_Roms;
On the first SATA port: Seagate SATA 80 Gb hard disk;

I am having problems running avi files from the sata disk, video is in slow motion,
no problem running the same file from the other disk.

I checked the speed for both drives with Quick Bench, and I got:
3.2 Mb/s for SATA and 55Mb/s for PATA drive.

Checked in device manager and under the second Primary IDE Channel
Current Transfer Mode is PIO, under Transfer mode : DMA if available.

I have removed the controller but after reboot it founds it again as:
Intel 82801 EB Ultra ATA Storage Controller, one for each drive.
I have updated the Intel Chipset which is supposed to contain SATA support
but no change.

In BIOS I have all drives set to AUTO
Under IDE Configuration I have:

Onboard IDE Operate Mode: [Enhanced Mode]
Enhanced Mode Support on: [SATA]
Configure SATA as RAID: [NO]

I have changed the cable.I also ran Seatools DOS type software, It found no error and the speeds under PIO mode were: 3Mb/s, and in UDMA mode up to 100Mb/s.


Please help.
