Trust me Newguy you need to go to your device manager and install the driver manually and it will fix your problem you will notice alot more speed out of your harddrive after installing your driver you are losing performance.. You do not need to format.

if i remember correctly it is the mass storage one you are using now you wanna change that one just look in your device manager and you will see it you wanna update it to the one that came with your cd that came with your mobo first find out which controller your board uses. browse your cd it should be on that cd find the folder and install it manually Some boards use the promise controller and some use others like my epox uses Via . This will fix your problem. Let us know what happens. Good luck

If you are using the raid controller then the driver is on the floppy.
