Reg Tweak request for next version of nLite

[LeveL]

Windows (on my system and I am sure most systems)

puts my IDE hard drive on a transfer rate of 33Mb a

second. Or "UDMA Mode 2" when the drive is perfectly

capable of transfering data at 133Mb a second.

I guess its just ANother way for Microsoft to scam us.

Luckily there is a registry tweak I put together from

instructions on manually doing it that will force UDMA

Mode 6. It does this in such a way that IF you do get

transfer errors because it is going too fast, it will drop

back down again. To be exact, it will drop back down if

you get 6 errors in a row. The way MS have it set it drops

down if you EVER get 6 errors, they could happen a year

apart over 6 years!

Please, pretty please, add this "tweak" to nLite?

Just under advanced or something if you think it is

risky! I don't really think it is risky I mean, on my

system I apply it and it will only go up to UDMA Mode

5 which is 100Mb/s. So this means, it does not mess

anything up really. Only problem might be applying this

to a system with SATA drives since they do not have

this problem. Give it time, I am sure Vista will be the

same with SATA as XP is with IDE, dropping the transfer

rates right down for no reason apart from to annoy us.

While I do like this tweak there is just too many variables, not to mention the 0001 at the end meaning it's the first drive, what if this, what if that...simply it's better to just apply it when you need it and you know what you're doing.

Maybe you can not integrate it but put it in Guirunonce or Runonceex and apply it?
