I know what the difference is, one is for legacy OS's, but I saw something and don't know why it's doing it. I was booting off of a ghost CD and it wouldn't recognize my cdrom, so after changing the mode to compatibility, it worked.
But what I saw was, when it was set as enhanced mode, the HDD picked up as UDMA-2. Set to compatibility mode, it showed up as UDMA-6 (which it is). Why would that be? I even ran an HDD benchmark but didn't see any difference.
I also saw a difference in the main BIOS screen. Set to enhanced mode, I saw
primary ide master - no device
primary ide secondary - no device
third ide device - HDD
fourth ide device - CDROM
Under compatibility mode, I saw
primary ide - HDD
secondary ide - CDROM
Why would that be? I have an asus p4p800-e deluxe and an ata133 PATA hdd. thanks.
