Ok, so I tried to slipstream my install and well I dont know if it worked or not...
when I go to device manager and look under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" I see
INTEl(R) 631xESB/6321ESB Ultra ATA storage Controller - 269E
INTEl(R) 631xESB/6321ESB/3100 Chipset Serial ATA Storage Controller - 2680
Primary IDE channel
Primary IDE channel
Secondary IDE channel
Secondary IDE channel
So that tells me that the intel sata drivers are installed, but using HD Tune I see a max transfer rate of 58.7MB/sec and a Minumum of 16.6Mb/sec when copying a CD I see the same when copying some files from one folder to another except the min drops to 2.1MB/sec
so, am I good? or am I still experiencing SATA issues? seems slow to me... but I dont know jack
