It will be running at the correct speeds, but just to check you can open device manager and select "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers", right click on primary or secondary depending on what your hard drive is hooked up to and select properties. Press the advanced settings tab and your hard drive should be set to Ultra DMA Mode 5!
Simple!
