Thank you for answering.
This is what I have done.
1 Checked that the hard disk is OK in an external case. It is.
2 Put another SATA hard disk on the SATA outlet on the mother board with resulting bad data transfer times.
3 Switched both SATA hard disks between the 2 Serial ATA Connecters on the motherboard bad resuilts from both on both.
4 Checked the SATA cable it is OK.
5 Checked the SATA cable is properly connected at both ends.
6 Tested both installed IDE hard disks they function fine with Average read 46.2MB/s and 38.4MB/S.
7 Checked that DMA is “Enabled” also “Auto” in the BIOS.
8 Done a clean install off W2K.
9 Deleated everything under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers several times.
10 All of the above in every imaginable combination.
None of which has helped
I have read about the “Delete “MasterIdDataCheckSum” and “SlaveIdDataCheckSum” in the registry” workaround several places, and have read that it has worked for some with hardrive PIO piss as I have.
BUT When I try, after reboot they and the PIO problem are back again.
SO As a last resort I am trying to find out how to make the deletes permenent as maybe that might help.
Maybe they cannot be deleted permenently, but as a last resort I thought it might help.
I not an expert by any means, but can usually find answers to all my problems by searching with Vivisimo, this time I am stumped.
Any new ideas will be gratfully received.

WELL I FIXED IT
As I had the latest drivers from ASRock installed ( my motherboard is 775VM800), I thought that that was OK.
But inspired (clutching at straws ) by a post I had found with Vivisimo <a href="http://vivisimo.com/" rel="nofollow">http://vivisimo.com/</a> ( by me by far the worlds best search machine, results sorted into folders and a list )
POST “If your system uses an Intel chipset you can install the Intel Application Accelerator instead of the Microsoft IDE driver. The Intel driver gives you explicit control over DMA modes thru a separate utility program. I noticed one of my laptops running really slowly, saw it was in PIO mode, and none of the other fixes worked. Uninstalling the device and switching to the Intel driver made that problem go away. The IAA is a free download from <a href="http://www.intel.com.”" rel="nofollow">www.intel.com.”</a>
I went to VIA’s homeside and downloaded ( my chipset VIA P4800 PRO South Bridge VT8237R Plus ) VIA Hyperion Pro Driver Package. It is a much better organised package than the ASRats and has much later stuff.
It has a Chipset INF Update Utility
AGP Driver
PATA IDE Driver Package
SATA IDE Driver Package
INSTALLED AND SATA DRIVE UP TO 54.4 MB/s
Moral of the story Go To The Source.
