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
