D945GCLF2 Sata problems

**nitefallz** · 09-11-2009, 11:14 AM

I have this board (the non s-video out one) and a WD 160gb sata drive hooked up to it, but Windows is showing that the drive is in Multi-Word DMA 2 mode instead of DMA 5 or 6. This is an extremely slow speed! Has anyone else had this issue? I've been unsuccessful in finding anything online specifically pertaining to this board/problem.

I've tried reinstalling the drivers and nothing changed.
