    Hi All

    I'm a newbie here and came here after surfing the internet for 2 days trying to figure out a small problem which is

    I have a F3JA notebook with a Fujitsu MHV2120BH PL which is a Sata HDD (I've opened the HDD case and checked it) and there is a Intel 82801 GBN/GHN (ICH-7-M Family) Sata Storage Controller installed (Can't find ANY mention of a IDE Controller) but my HDD is configured :
    Standard: ATA/ATAPI-0 - Sata 1
    Supporting UDMA Mode 5 (Ultra ATA/100)
    Active UDMA Mode 5 (Ultra ATA/100) (Info from HD Tune) so my question is " Can I change this to support and activate the Sata standard. I've benchmarked the disk and it should be faster. Please any and all help would be good. You all have a good one.
