Dear all,
I noticed that since using the xt ide bios following thing occurs:
- during boot up hdd detection, my WDC is like spinning on and off 3x
- same happens when shutting down w95
- same happens when testing dma speed (yes strange example)
- besides that operation is fully normal
- this only applies to my WDC 80gb hdd, this won’t happen on a 420mb hdd, 300gb maxtor
Do you have any clue? I have the slight feeling that these events won’t prolong lifetime of that hdd 😉
Thanks
