Slow performance on HDDs, could they be in ATA?
Right, yesterday having installed the Win7 x64, haven't noticed any glaring driver deficiencies yet.
However, I have a sneaky suspicion that my HDDs are now working in ATA mode.. Is there a way for me to confirm/deny this for certain, and if so, how do I change it?
I haven't installed any SATA/DHCP/Chipset drivers yet - the action center didn't pop up any messages about them, so I assume that they have been installed correctly by Windows already..
I'm running it on a about year-old laptop, if it helps, so Windows should have the drivers - it's not as if the tech is outdated or too new..
So, is it reasonable to consider that Win7 has put the HDDs in ATA mode, and if I want to turn SATA back in, what drivers do in need to check?
