everon Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I have two hard drive. IDE 1 Master : Maxtor Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 (6Y160P0) 160GB IDE 2 Master : Maxtor DiamondMax Plus D740X (6L060J3) 60 GB Hard Drive IDE2 Slave: NEC ND-2510A DVD I have very slow hard drive performance. If I use only one hard drive, then performance is good, but with two hard drive performance is slow. I have all latest drivers (Nvidia Nforce2 ATA controller). I have also tried Win XP default drivers. Can someone help? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Try uninstalling the Nvidia SW IDE Drivers from Add/Remove programs, reboot, then let Windows install the default IDE Drivers, see how you go... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loggan26 Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 <<<<<<<< IDE2 Slave: NEC ND-2510A DVD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> These 2 are hooked up together, i would do away with the Hdd and the optical drive setup, i would look at getting sata adapters for either or both the Hdd and this leaves your ide channels free for optical drives as Masters..... Your D740X is quite an older hdd now is it not? When you pull that drive does all work okay. Also have you tried the D740X itself and the Plus 9 hooked up to the optical see if it works that way..... Off course idealy you want the Plus 9 as the main boot Hdd as it is the faster and larger, i would do a few tests like i mentioned above and see if trouble points to the D740X, if so the sata adapters or time to loose the Hdd......just an wee opinion...........
