Okay, guys help me out if you can, I'm trying to speed up my system by using the hdparm commands etc. So far I can get information using -i and -I, but the following commands -X69, -c3, -m16, or -u1, while they are sent are not acted on. The following text is the same before and after the commands are given.
Notice the line "Config {Fixed}"
Does this mean that the drive config has been fixed by the manufacturer, if so, how do I unfix it and do I really want to try?
