Welcome to NFHQ! 
Check if there's a jumper at the back of the drive that forces it to run in 1.5G mode.

Just pulled the drive out.....
No jumpers at all.... Its supposed to be autodetect anyway.
I am also using the sata power supply cable.
thanks for the quick response btw

WOW
Th/\nks ! 
It worked a treat!...... also managed to enable a quiet drive feature plus UDma133
Drive was VERY noisy before I tweaked it, sounded like a mouse wheel... now its like a set of flys wings. groovy.
excellent !
Nice to get a solution so quickly....nice one M8 !
I guess I would have got these tools on a floppy had the drive been retail....however the drive was OEM and I simply had no idea that the drive could be tweked.....
angain thanks!    |

Had to post my opinion.. Have yet to have a problem with my Hitachis.. I use to be real afraid of the brand from some long time history way back with some 20-40 gb PATA drives..
Tried them on several Nforce 4 boards without a glitch on any of them for more then 6+ months. |

You mean IBM's DeathStar?

I have fun memories of the 'DeathStar'.
A replacement I got from IBM just lasted long enough for me to install Windows and my programs before it crapped out. I use Seagates now. |

| Personally, I continue to use Hitachi's drives and since 180GXP it works flawlessly. |
