What does 'hdparm -i /dev/hd?' and 'hdparm -v /dev/hd? say (as root)? (replace hd? with the proper drive letter) FWIW, I'd wait a while to make sure everything else is OK before you try and tune your HDD. IIRC, there's issues with VIA chipsets, and particularly some motherboards, and some HDD's. So you want to research that first. Then read 'info hdparm' and it'll explain how to set the various options. Once you've determined the best for your HDD/Mboard/ chipset, then you can add those lines to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local EG, mine are (ata/33 drives, CD drives on a oc'd BX board) hdparm -m8 -c1 -d1 -k1 -A1 /dev/hda hdparm -m8 -c1 -d1 -k1 -A1 /dev/hdb hdparm -c1 -d1 -k1 /dev/hdc hdparm -c1 -d1 -k1 /dev/hdd You might also want to read thru the KT7 FAQ's (Google 'kt7 faq') -- Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay
