My hard drive is capable of running at UDMA133 which it is set to and running during bootup. After windows starts i run a freeware program HD Tune 2.52 and viewed the info tab and it states: Standard: ATA/ATAPI-7 Supported: UDMA Mode 6 (Ultra ATA/133) Active: UDMA Mode 5 (Ultra ATA/100) Why isnt my hard drive running at full speed, and how can i make it run at full speed? Any help would be appreciated Thanks

You may need to update the ASPI driver

Is that program reporting speed of the drive or the interface? I'm pretty sure even 
the latest IDE drives are not physically capable of utilising the full capability 
of UDMA133 interface (so in fact there's no point in having a faster than UDMA100 
interface in the drive). If that program is reporting on actual speed, it will show 
100 rather than 133.

Does the BIOS support ATA-133?

If the drive is on a controller card, is it in fact an ATA-133 card, as opposed to an ATA-100 card?

Real-world performance gains from having ATA-133 vs. ATA-100 are virtually non-existent (unless you were using a RAID 0 or RAID 5 array and a very demanding application), since the "133" and "100" MBPS numbers refer to the maximum initial burst speed, not a sustained data transfer rate.

Athlon 1.1 - 512 MB RAM = 98SE & XP Home

Athlon 3000+ 64 - 1024 MB RAM = 98SE (@768 MB RAM) & XP Pro

IBM ThinkPad PIII 900 - 384 MB RAM = 98SE & XP Pro SP2

Windows 2000 Server in the basement

Yes the BIOS supports it cause it says the drive is running at ATA133 during boot, and no there is no controller card just the motherboard that does supports ATA133. I am no using a RAID right now, however I do do video editing and thought that ATA133 would be worth while. I dont believe it has anything to do with the BIOS, etc. I think it has to be within Windows 2000 Pro. And what do you mean by windows 2000 Server in the basement?
