The problem is not fixed with DMA settings!
It's no surprise. 137 kB/s is too low even for the slowest current disks - they are much faster no matter whether DMA or other hdparm settings are turned on. Experimenting with hdparm is just wasting of time in this case. If possible, download a disk diagnostic program from http://www.maxtor.com/. It seems you need a new disk. BTW, some people have already suggested it's a HW problem; don't ignore them. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
