thelittlefire Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 How are you saving? Where are you saving (external USB drive, internal SATA, etc) Start > Run > devmgmt.msc Go to your IDE channel properties, check "CURRENT TRANSFER" what does it say?

thelittlefire Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yes, thank you sergo Also a picture of Ctrl-P > Advanced > Disk Cache may help... if it's not already in PIO mode... Disk cache needs to be enabled in uT if you're getting this and also using windows cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
