I did see that model listed, but the model in front of me is an eTower 310, which, strangely, isn't listed under the eTower range on any websites.
It does look like the one you quoted is the one I have though (the only difference being the model of hard drive).
The drivers for the IDE controllers in device manager are working corectly. They are the ones installed by Win XP during installation. Under advanced settings, the current transfer mode is shown as "Ultra DMA Mode 2".
I'm not sure what you mean by "recover the PC". When I got the machine, I formatted the hard drive, & did a clean install of WinXP.
I am wondering whether to flash the bios with the HP 307 bios, which I think gives more options to play with. It also allows you to turn off the splash screen at start up.
