Dear Vaio Users
I have a problem with my Vaio Notebook HardDisk.
I noticed it's very slowing when copying files or unpacking .rar archives
Here are the results of some HD tests:
Any idea what's wrong here? Is this HD broken? What can I do?
My notebook is still in waranty.
Test 1 : DISKSPEED (C) Alexander Grigoriev
Test 2 : Performance Test 6.1 - Passmark Advanced Disk Test
Test 3 : The Windows Experience Index
Thanks for your help!
Hi VinTie,
Have you checked that DMA (Direct Memory Access) is enabled?
Go to Device Manager and expand IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
Double-click on Primary IDE Channel.
In Advanced Settings check that 'DMA if Available' is selected for both Devices and check that a DMA Mode is in the 'Current Transfer Mode' box.
If not go back and right-click on your Primary IDE Channel and choose Uninstall.
Reboot and check the Current Transfer Modes.
Thanks for the answer Blencogo
I checked the Device Manager, but I don't have the things you are talking about :s
This is what I get :
Looks OK VinTie,
Looks like DMA is enabled OK.
I'll sleep on it but nothing else comes to mind immediately.
