Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
Hey all; I've been trying to deal with a sluggish laptop for about a year and a half now, and I can't quite take it anymore. Its hard drive has always been terrible, as it is an old RAID drive (the up to date drivers for it say they're from 2006). It's worse than my old standard hdd, which wasn't a RAID. It's an Alienware laptop though, so literally everything else in it is good, but you can imagine how much of a bottleneck it is to have a god awful hard drive to have everything run off of.
There are a lot of things on the web that tell you how to help maintain your computer, and I've tried some things already, but this new thing I've found is direct memory access (DMA). I can't seem to find any listing under device manager for IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, however. I'm looking at this page: Turn Direct Memory Access (DMA) on or off - Windows Help
I've looked elsewhere for an answer, and I even hit 'show hidden devices', Nothing!
Can anyone tell me how to enable DMA, or perhaps any other tricks you guys know of that are most important? I was told once by someone over the phone that I have a ton of registry errors I believe, so whatever you got would be helpful! Thanks in any case.

Ah gotcha, thanks. I may as well post my dxdiag I suppose
And I'll reiterate that the hard drive has been about as slow since I got it that year and a half ago, really, so I'm wondering if there is anything that can be done about it. It took them a while to figure out my 2 raid drives weren't even linked, so we did that already, and I have been using high performance mode as of yesterday which I think might be helping..
Anyway, here is my dxdiag:

Sadly, I cannot access the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, which made me sad:

A SMART check wouldn't hurt, either

This is *absolutely* something I'm going to look into. The idea of even being able to do this on the cheap without me needing to re-do my warranty...this could be bliss. Too bad I will never be able to re-start my warranty with Alienware after I do it though. Oh well
Thanks a ton you guys. I'll let you know if I have any other questions.
Slow computer/hard drive - can anyone lend a quick hand?
