Fzabkar,

I didn’t found any DMA or PIO configuration in regedit to change :frowning:

But after googling for some time, I think I hav1e found the problem. Or at least I’m having the same behaviour described there.

Is a configuration very similar to mine (Win XP with, old AMD Athlon and MSI k7n2 delta motherboard), with Rosewill 212 and WD 2TB Green Drive. So I suppose that’s the problem with the slow reads and I should stop looking for ghosts :slight_smile:

Thank you for your enlightment in this thread! I’m very thankful.
