Comment 7 for bug 48499

Thanks to this and many other older list I see that I'm not the only one with hardrive speed problems. Somebody just gave me an dell inspiron 8200. As I work already longtime with ubuntu I want to give this laptop to a pastor with ubuntu Feisty on it. But I do not succeed until now to get a work around to fix this issue even if you have to mount cd's manually.

Per Heldal or anybody else can you please provide an answer what to exactly do in Feisty to get good hd performance? What do you mean with a rule in ....

Thanks a lot.
