try setting the hdd to 32bit mode...
one thing I found out is that though a lot of ide drives are capable of
UDMA/66 the hardware support is lacking .. UDMA/66 needs a 80wire ide
cable but ur hardware guy may have given u a 40wire ide cable.
read ur hdd's specs and see what the the output in dmesg shows if they
don't match u can do some tweaking to improve performance.
