Missing drivers = slow HD?

[KJ83]

I've been messing with my brand new Vista Ultimate installe all day and it just doesn't seem to correct:

My harddisk is slow. Both at copying, deleting and installing

The Windows Experience Index shows these scores:

Processor: 5,4
RAM: 5,9
Graphics: 5,8
Gaming Graphics: 5,4
Harddisk: 2,6

I did a test in HD tune:



Kinda slow for this HD: SATAII, 250GB (8MB) Seagate, Barracuda 7200RPM

I believe that it is a driver problem, and I have these drivers installed:





(taken from DriverMax)

Is the problem related to the old Serial Ata Controller and/or the PCI management system? -or something completely different? I have tried to update the drivers (both through device manager and the nvidia site), but it doesn't work..

I have disabled indexing in Vista, but that didn't change the HD performance.

This is my PC specs:

- AMD DUALCORE X2 6000+ (AM2), DUAL 3.0GHZ
- 250GB SATAII HARDDISK *SILENT FLUID*, 7200rpm
- 2GB DDR2 RAM, *DUALCHANNEL*, PC5400
- NVIDIA GEFORCE 8600GT, 512MB, DVI
- ASUS MOTHERBOARD, M2N-MX SE


The motherboard is this (accourdin to SWI) :
South Bridge nForce 430 (MCP61) LPC Bridge

I am looking forward to your suggestions and solutions

Best regards,

I suggest you hit the v15.08 archive driver in there.. update those drivers from well which ever x86/x64 you have. Extract that .exe archive with winrar and update those devices through device manager.

x64

Also you want this. Probably in the end.:

The processor driver versions which are mentioned on your 'driver check Tool' are false accuses those versiona are Vista Service Pack 1 versions and Service pack 1 is just Beta RC state and never should be included on driver testing version counts. So your current processor drivers should do just fine.

After those driver (specially SATA Controller driver on device manager has been updated & machine has been rebooted) you should get with that same HD test result around 50-65MB/s with your chipset to consider I have the same here with SataIDE Seagate which is even literally same company nowdays as Maxtor..

hope this helps...
