XP: hibernate very slow all of a sudden, tried to fix it, no success

[Guest Alex Schugman]

Hello,

 

for a few days my Win XP SP2 is hibernating very very slowly. I've

been googling around looking for a solution but cant seem to find the

cause. the write cache is enabled, I have scanned for spyware with

adaware 2007, I even disabled hibernating, defraged the HDD and re-

enabled it, nothing seems to work.

 

anyone have a clue resp. any ideas?

Is DMA still set on the Primary IDE Channel? Look in Device manager and

check. If it fell back to PIO due to read errors, then things would slow

down a bit. You can reset it by removing it, and letting it reinstall if

this has happened.

thanks, that worked, brilliant! (how is an average xp user supposed to

know these things? ;) )

 

at what sort of events is this likely to happen, the fallback to

"PIO"?

This part is the reason, "If it fell back to PIO due to read errors".

You're welcome, and have a great day.

Interesting. What field/flag in hardware manager indicates if a drive

is in DMA or PIO mode? I looked at my drive(s) and cannot tell.

IDE? Navigate to the Primary IDE channel, Advanced Settings. SATA, not

applicable.

...Primary IDE Channel holds my HDDs, while the Secondary IDE Channel

is the CD-ROMs.

Hey guys This really helped me, after I suffered a sudden slow down for

two months

i googled about this and BAM i found u guys here

 

My case is the same.Suddenly my computer stated hibernating slowly.

Apart from this there are many sideeffects ,

like the hard disk led is not glowing fully

my speakers are buzzing every 3seconds exactly when the hdd led is

glowing mildly.

I found my Secondary IDE in PIO mode .

I uninstalled it and restarted twice and bam my LEDs are Glow Fully

 

Thanks for you guys

you guys really helped me and also Google ;)
