After trying everything in Win98se to get my HD to perform properly I did this.
ok, almost solved problem.
Steps taken:
1) Installed Win2000 from scratch and applies all service packs and updates.
2) Test speed .... Hey 16Mb/s, thats more like it!
3) Installed Ali UltraDMa drivers etc and enabled. I did this hoping the FASTEST AMD chip available would provide for 0 dropped frames when capturing video, (still dropping).
Result:
Maxtor now has transfer rate of 1.25Mb/s.
Win 2000 & Win 98SE
A7A266 Asus Motherboard
1.333 Athlon & 512M DDR ram
40G Maxtor ATA66 7200 RPM HD
Matrox Marvel G400
Dlink 530TX+ NIC
