The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Slow performance from IDE drive

Asked by blackfrancis75 in Hard Drives & Storage

Tags: slow, ide, drive, performance

I have a Sempron 2.8 with the following drives;
IDE0:
Master - 20 GB FAT32 (C:)
Slave - DVD-ROM
IDE1:
Master - 110 GB NTFS (E:)
Slave - 110 GB NTFS (F:)

The issue I have is slow performance when transferring files to/from the E and F drives.
As an example, it takes about 150 seconds to transfer a 360MB file from either of these drives to C:
Is that slower than it should be?

One thing I noticed but may or may not be relevent is in Windows Disk Manager, drive F is listed as
Layout: Simple and Type: Dynamic; whereas all the other volumes are marked as
Layout: Partition and Type: Basic.

I'd really like someone to suggest how I can go about diagnosing why the perfomance is bad on these drives.
