Hi, Since this is an IDE-drive we're talking about all you need to do is enable the UDMA modus for that harddrive. You need to run - with root privileges - "hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/hda". You should however first test your harddrive so you can see the difference. Run - again with root privileges - "hdparm -tT /dev/hda" then set the DMA and 32-bit flag, then run that test again. You'll see the difference ;)
And since you may not want to do that everytime after you rebooted, you have to add that to one of your startup scripts in /etc/rcS.d - preferably the first one.
