    Check the 'Enable write caching box' and click OK. Just read the warning first. Never had it happen to me but just be cautious.

    If I remember correctly... uninstalling intel robinson driver will solve the problem.

    1) i unistall intel matrix manager

    2)i install Vista manager. In the speed menu, i checked the option: "enable SATA disk advanced function to improve perfomance"

    3) and now the 'problem' solved :D

    Do you think that now i have better hard disk perfomance ????

    Still my windows experience score of my hard disk is 5.1. Nothing changed
    (i know windows experience score benchmark, is not reliable)

    Nope, I don't think you achieved anything with respect to performance. Intel Matrix Manager is most likely better at real world performance than your alternative SATA driver, regardless of what optimizations you try to activate on top of it.

    Hot tip: Upgrade your HD to Hitachi TravelStar 7k200 to get a real performance boost. It scores 5.4 in Vista Experience Index on my Acer 5920G, and the real world performance increase surpassed expectations.
