Hi, speedouk-

My name is John, and I am a customer advocate at Dell headquarters.

I suspect the drive has fallen back into PIO mode, possibly due to using scratched media in the drive. Windows will default to the slower PIO mode instead of DMA if it encounters several read errors while in DMA mode, and this tends to happen quite frequently. Check the following article for more information:

Let me know if that doesn't solve your problems!
