over riding udma -not a specific linux question

salparadise · 08-19-2003, 11:56 AM

can anyone tell me how to solve this problem

have added a new hard drive to a friends computer
it has set itself to udma66
this is causing serious overheating issues
as well as causing the cd to not run above mode 4

the hard drive is a maxtor 15gig s/n 31536H2

the correct setting for this system is udma33

many thanks in advance

this problem is a windows problem

i know this is a linux forum (i am a member)

but "you guys" just cant be beaten when it comes to knowledge
so
this is my first port of call when enlisting the help of others

many thanks
