I have a very annoying problem, the machine freezes in tiny moments now
and then. Like when i start up in windows, it freezes in 4-5 seconds
(can only move the mouse - but all inputs seem to be queued) but then
there is no probem, until i alt tab out from something it freezes a few
seconds, if i'm playing something from one drive while writing
something
to another it can stutter as well.
One thing i changed recently was to put in a sata drive (no raid, just
sata) and boot from that instead - there seem to be nothing wrong with
the harddrive such as data loss, but i wondered if this was the reason
of for these small freezes? (Windows put on hold while it access the
drive?)
Or I need extra drivers or need to set something special in the bios?

I'm guessing you cloned the old PATA drive onto the new SATA?

Yes I did indeed.

If so, you'll need the SATA drivers installed whether you use RAID
or not.

Ah.. I don't suppose you could point me in the direction where i might
find them? Is it from Microsoft, or Asus, or perhaps seagate who made
the drive?


Asus, or whoever made the chipset that controls the RAID on the board (not
being familiar with your board).

Well its the Asus P4P800

Either intel, or Silicon image, or VIA - check your mobo manual.

Not quite sure whath appened to the manual, but according to the Everest
program its:

North Bridge: Intel Springdale i865PE
South Bridge: Intel 82801EB ICH5

and Intels chip checker:

Intel(R) 865 chipset Family
Memory Controller: 82865G /P/PE or 82848P
I/O Controller: 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R), SATA

Still not sure what to get though.


Chances are
you recieved a floppy with the board that will have RAID controller drivers
on it (for clean installations of to SATA drives).

Yeah, i installed that once - when i still had a floppy drive (which i
don't anymore, neded to remove it)
