Default 500gb Caviar 16mb ... 10mb transfer rate ???

guys i am facing a very unique problem.

few days back i bought a WD500gb Caviar16mb from lammy.
gave it my friend for formatting and puttin stuff in it.
he did it via windows Partition thingy ( i aint aware about it ).

in his PC the transfer rates were great ... 72MB/s between the HDD`s

but after bringing the HDD`s at my place .. they seem to be runnin tad slower... gettin inter-transfer speeds of as low as 6MB/s and high as only 20MB/s.

please help me guys... tried a few things but it aint working for me.

my older HDD`s were working very good. my hitachi desktar gave me transfer rates of 52MB/s and my old Samsung Pata used to give 34MB/s.

what can i do ??? plz suggest !

Its Just toooo F****in Slooooow and its irritating me like hell . tranferring between partitions from same HDD can be so FU***D up sometimes

If you are using M$ Vista, you know who the culprit is Its a well-known fact that copying/moving/deleting files in vista is quite slower than on XP!

^^ Try any linux live cd/dvd and check the transfer speeds on it..You will get an idea whether the culprit is Vista or your disk!

No way it can be 10 MB/s even on the same partition. Most likely a configuration issue either at the BIOS or OS level.

Edit: Why don't you try this

DMA Reset Tool - Powered By Kayako SupportSuite

as I'd earlier suggested?
