Some of you may remember the problem I was having with my SATA II HDD in
Windows XP (but not in Linux). To recap: My drive got switched from
UDMA mode to PIO mode in Windows (only). I ended up having to reinstall
Windows.
After some careful investigation, I found that the problem was caused by
the copy protection of a game - Superpower 2. Worse, the problem was
not corrected when I removed the game. It took either a full reinstall
of the OS, or a restoration of the windows registry from before I
installed the game to fix this problem.
I know that this will not affect dedicated Linux users, but it can
affect those of you who use both windows and Linux.
Regards,
Chris
