At bootup you should see how hd is being recognized. If it says UDMA 100 there but not in OS you have a OS problem.
Dont know about 3+ but latest bios for 2+ have UDMA 100 as an option in bios. Before only up to 66. But "Auto" detects it correctly, at least on mine. Now I could "force" it I guess, not tried it.

ya i noticed that... if i change that in the bois could it make my drive corrupt if i dont ahve a 100 cable or sotming? i a like 98% sure that i do... is there a way to check?
Probably tho I have no idea how to tell the difference. I use the cable that came with mobo. You should have the same. I guess a cable can get twisted, "corrupted" somehow, better try another to be sure - and safe!
You could also try hd on HPT controller - same as auto on VIA I guess, pick highest supported mode. When you boot press CTRL-H or something, get into HPT bios, there you see mode. Before OS have chance to screw it up, if it does.
Its possible to lower max. mode for most hds I think. Need special tools/programs. You wouldnt have done that? Check WD site.

Look at the floppy cable, see how thick each wire is? An ATA 66/100/133 cable has 80 wires and they are much thinner. How do you KNOW that UDMA 5 is not on? Did you check in device mangager?CrashOveride said:ya i noticed that... if i change that in the bois could it make my drive corrupt if i dont ahve a 100 cable or sotming? i a like 98% sure that i do... is there a way to check?

ya, i did check the software that comes with my mobo... it says it isnt... and the preformance deffeindatly isnt there either... hm.. poop i dont knwo if i want to bother
http://www.epox.org/ new bios out yesterday, might help. Probably updates Highpoint bios so you should also update HPT drivers in OS.
Put hd on "cable select" instead of a master/slave setting.
Try reinstall the separate VIA IDE filters http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=2#old at the bottom. Ie. 4.43 installs like crap here.
