    Are your IDE channels in device manager set to DMA or PIO? If they are set to PIO change it to DMA or UltrA DMA.

    i checked in my device manager. it says transfer mode is Dma if available, but the current transfer mode is stuck on PIO and it won't let me change it

    you cant click the arrow tab to change anything? try changing it to DMA, select if you can, then reboot, it might not change right away.
