I remember reading here on the front page about Win XP suddenly changing your HD from Ultra DMA 5 to 4, then to 3 and so on. The article said something about when XP sees an error with the drive it automatically lowers the DMA value by 1. Well now one of my drives is at 4 and should be 5. Anyone know how to fix this?
