Thank you! I tried it
/dev/hda: setting xfermode to 66 (UltraDMA mode2) but the read timing is as slow as before :( /dev/hda: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 11.38 seconds = 5.62 MB/sec Or is this speed normal?

I get the same problems on a harddrive in my laptop. The drive is in fine working order, it seems to be a relatively harmless driver (timing) problem. Being unable to set dma transfers is normal for an udma drive, try to use hdparm -X 66 /dev/hd<?> Have fun, MaPo
