Vista - no SATA drivers = slow copying?

I, too, experience the terrible file copying performance (zip files are
ridiculously slow, and HD to HD operations are still any only 5-13 MB/sec)...

In Device Manager, it would appear that I have no SATA devices, even though
my drive is a SATA 3.0 Gb/s. My drive is being detected as a mere IDE --
could this device mis-ID be the root of slow copying??

Does your mobo CD have SATA drivers??
If yes..did you install them during the Vista Install??
If no..you can still install them from within device manager

The very first thing I recommend everyone do when they first get a new OS up
and running, is to install the latest chipset software for that OS. This
will resolve you're problem.

It WILL NOT FIX the slow copying. Guaranteed!

hey, i think i got my problem pretty much worked out -- basically, i got the
nvidia SATA controller driver to take by installing manually... check out
this guide, following the "upgrade to SATA RAID even if vista's already
installed" section... i don't use RAID, but the SATA controller driver stuff
is all still applicable.
