Cannot Install Xp On Sata Hdd
Replies: 3 | Post Date: October 25th, 2005, 08:54 PM | User: Markalan | Forums: forums.devshed.comI am new to sata hdd, and am not completely sure how the work. I am trying to us a sata hdd as my master hdd but continually get an error when trying to install xp that the startup program cannot gain access to the disk. My question is twofold:
1) how do i get xp to install
2) can sata hdd work as a standalone hdd, or do they have to be configured as raid.

Cant Install External Hdd
Ive just put one of my "maxtor diamondmax plus 9 160gb ata/133 hdd (6y160p0)" - disks into a "techsolo tmf-3560" external storage case. The harddrive is jumpered as master, but i get the same problem when setting it to "cable select" and "slave". When i connect the case to my acer 5024wlmi with usb 2. 0 i get this error message:
"Found new hardware
A problem occurred during hardware installation. Your new hardware might not work properly. "
After that nothing happens. The device manager keeps updating, but doesent find or install anything. Cant find it in "disk management" either. Both my mp3-player and my usb-mouse connect without any problems. I use windows xp professional corporate, sp2 with all the updates (windows xp professional (5. 1, build 2600) service pack 2 (2600. Xpsp. 051019-1519)). I tried my external drive on my machine with win2003ent, and it worked just fine. But i get the same problem on my third computer also using xp pro corp sp2.

Cannot Install Windows In New Hdd
I just got myself a segate baracuda hdd (pata), plugged it as primary master, set the jumper accordingly, restarted the computer, got into bios, and the primary master is shown as the segate baracuda hdd just as it should. The secondary master and slave are my two dvd burner drives and these are shown in bios as well. Next, i attempted installing windows xp on the new hdd, on the 'select partition to install screen', it says 'setup could not access this drive'. Next, i tried 'diskpart' from the recovery console, says 'could not access'. Next, i tried my old windows 98 cd, booted to dos, and tried a:>fdisk. Says: warning: could not access disk 1. Tried setting the new hdd as a secondary slave, the secondary master being one of the dvd writers (unplugged the second dvd writer), set the jumpers accordingly. Again, the hdd is shown as the secondary slave in bios as it should, and again, windows could not be installed. Tried all the available modes in bios (lba, chs, large, auto), but the exact same thing happens, no matter what i do. Is the new hdd dead? I even tried a new data cable, same results.

How Do I Check My Sata Hdd Temp ?
I can only see my ide hd with pc wizard, but for my sata hd i cannot see the temp. I have tried using speedfan and the western digital diagnostics, but after installing either and trying to run them, my pc will just restart. Also my sata hd is making a weird sound, it is as if is spinning faster than usual, like the speed goes up and down making a buzzing sound, like some kind of vibration inside the case. And this is usually with no programs running on idle. After the pc has been on for a while.

Sata Hdd With Ide Dvd Rom
I just got a sata hard drive, and im wondering if the dvd rom drive needs to be connected to the hard drive, or just the motherboard? Because when i try to install the os on that computer, the drive does not detect any hard drives.

Hooking Up Ide Hdd On Sata Port
I already have 1 sata hd on port 1, got a 160gb ide wd hd, had to hooked it up on port 2 using a sata adapter. Got it to work fine. But my question is, should i just leave it there or should i hook it up to a regular ide port?
Configurations:-
Nf7-s rev 2
Amd 2400+ m @ 2400mhz
3200 ocz 200x12
Pioneer dvd-rw / hooked to ide 2
Ide 1 has no drive connected to. Wd 80gb sata / port 1
Wd 160gb ide / port 2 (<- should i leave it there or no?)
I will eventually get a hold of another 80gb wd to raid them up. Mean while though, got this dilemma now to deal with.

External Hdd, Sata Or Usb For Backup
Situation;
Three pc's; two towers (both w/ two hdd's) and one laptop (not used often), not alot of data, but instead of using dvd's to backup, this seems easier, one device for all three would be nice, though the laptop i could live without, it would be used mainly for my main box (tower). Questions;
1. If i went with a usb interface, can i assume the ps is external?
2. Can i then assume most are those damn 'bricks' as opposed to internal ps's within the hdd enclosure?
3. Are there any models w/ internal ps's, or at least a ps that is on a cable so it isn't hanging from the power strip?
4. Between the all in one (hdd, enclosure & ps) vs buying the enclosure, ps and the hdd separately, what's the better route?
5. If i went with a sata drive, are there any enclosures that are tailored to this setup?
6. The cabling from the pc to the unit. Make shift or use a premade pci slot plate w/ connectors (assuming they are available)?

Asus A7v8x-la Sata Hdd Drivers
I have an hp pavilion a720n with a asus a7v8x-la mb. I added a sata hdd which shows up in the bios and doesn't show problems in the device manager, but isn't picked up by windows (xp home). I think it's the proper drivers that i need, but after a long research, i just can't find them!
Do you know where i could look for them?
And can you please confirm that it's the sata drivers for the mb that i should look for?

Sata Hdd Do Not Show Up In Windows Vista But Shows In Bios
I just bought a new computer with one sata hard drive in it. Everything is fine with the computer. I had an old computer that had two hard drives in it. Ither was one sata hard drive from my old computer which was a secondary hard drive used for storing media. It worked properly in that computer. I then proceeded to plug it into my new computer. Now, only the original hard drive in my new computer shows up under my computer. My secondary sata drive only shows up in the bios. How can i get this to work so that i can enjoy my music and videos on my new computer?

Hdd Upgrade - Sata Vs Ide, Drive Rpm Speeds
I have a sort of old computer with an asus a7n8x motherboard, and it has 2x ide connectors, ultra dma 133/100/66/33. It seems like all the modern hard drives these days are sata standard. So how is sata better than ide? I don't know much about it. I browsed through some available ide hd's, and they seem to be the same in everything as the sata drives. You can get a 7200 rpm ide drive, just as you can for sata. So, apparently ide can handle data transmission just fine, right? So why did manufacturers make the switch?
Further, is there good reason for me to switch? I see that there are sata controller cards. So i could just pop one of those into my pci slot and start using sata drives even with my ide-equipped motherboard.correct? Should i do this? The only problem with ide is it looks like the hd selection isn't nearly as good. I didn't even see any 1tb drives with ide on newegg. The biggest one was 500gb. What's up with that? Is it because hd companies made the switch to sata and didn't bother developing larger ide drives past a certain point?
Finally, how big of a deal is the rpm speed on drives? Back when i built my computer i think they were all 5400rpm. Now many are 7200 rpm. What's the impact on system performance?

Bsod During Sata / Xp Pro Install
I installed it all in the same lian li case i have always used. The problem is, everytime i try and install windows xp pro it blue screens everytime it passes the first screen. It will do the usual driver installs at the bottom, past the f6 and f2 prompt, but will blue screen before it gets to the "welcome to setup" screen where it partitions and formats. This is my first experience with sata, so i have been googling like crazy but have not found any solution. I tried removing ram to a single 2gb stick, and swapping it with other sticks. I plugged the hard drive into my xps and formatted it - it showed as healthy. I have also tried to perform the windows xp install using the xps with the same blue screen result. I ran the data lifeguard utility to check for errors, in both fast and slow, and it showed no errors. I used data lifeguard to format it as well in a 80/912gb partition. I have plugged the former 40gb ide hard drive into the system and it worked fine. The options in the bios are:
Sata raid/ahci mode (intel ich10r southbridge)
Enables or disables raid for the sata controllers integrated in the intel ich10r southbridge or configures the sata controllers to ahci mode. Disabled disables raid for the sata controllers and configures the sata controllers to pata mode. (Default)
Ahci configures the sata controllers to ahci mode. Advanced host controller interface (ahci) is an interface specification that allows the storage driver to enable advanced serial ata features such as native command queuing and hot plug. Raid enables raid for the sata controllers. Sata port0-3 native mode
Specifies the operating mode of the integrated sata controllers. Disabled allows the sata controllers to operate in legacy ide mode. In legacy mode the sata controllers use dedicated irqs that cannot be shared with other device. Set this option to disabled if you wish to install operating systems that do not support native mode. (Default)
Enabled allows the sata controllers to operate in native ide mode. Enable native ide mode if you wish to install operating systems that support
Native mode. I do not want a raid configuration, and have read that ahci will not work with xp pro. Not sure if this is correct?
I have pressed f6 during install and used a floppy to install the ich10r sata raid driver from the mobo disc and from intels site. Is there anything i need to do to the bios in between?
Tried changing the bios to raid and configuring it as raid 0 with a single disk (i read somewhere that this is possible) but it did not give me the "press" option to set up raid that the manual said it would. Possibly because it only sees a single disk. Tried disabling sata raid/ahci mode, but enabling sata port0-3 native mode. Tried different optical drives. Tried different xp pro disks with just xp pro, sp1, and sp2. Gigabytes web site is horrible, and only randomly lists the mobo, has no real troubleshooting and support hours stink.

How To Install Another Sata Hard Drive Into System ?
I'm installing another hard drive into my system, so i can put linux on it. When i opened the case i found out the the alienware system used sata not a regular ata hard drive. I never installed an sata hard drive with another one already in there. I'm buying another serial ata 15-pin female-to-4-power connector / serial ata adapter, which looks like this: and a sata hard drive, i also have extra serial sata cable which look like this, and i know go into the motherboard: but is that all i need? I'm confused on how the new hard drive is going to get power, or do i hook up the black end (14 pin) to the new hard drive then hook the 4 pin white part to the female port on the far right hand corner of the old sata hard drive already in my system and thats it? Or do i just connect the connect the black 14 pin into the sata hard drive then connect the white end to that hanging power cord by my ram?

Can't Install Vista Or Win7 On Sata Drive
I thought it would be simple. Does it matter which sata slots are used for a boot drive. There are 8 on my board 4 controlled by intel ichr7 and the others by marvel. Attempts to install windows result in error message that the drive is configured as active in the bios and suggest using diskpart utility to clean the drive? Does sata use master/slave? The hd is a wd caviar blue 300gb. What am i doing incorrectly?

How To Install Raid Drivers Without New Install Or Controller Card ?
I need to install the raid drivers for my motherboard (p5k deluxe - ich9r). Is there a way to install it without reinstalling xp or having to buy a separate sata controller like it's mentioned in this?

Why Is A 2nd Sata Drive Making Both Sata's Unrecognized ?
I just removed my old ide hdd with xp and replaced it with a sata drive and installed vista on it. Everything was fine, until:
I installed a second brand new unformatted sata hdd. With the second drive installed neither of the new drives are recognized and windows won't boot. Is it something obvious i'm missing?

Internal Sata Blu Ray Drive Plugged Into Sata
Alright, i'll make this short and sweet. I want to free one of my sata ports up so i can install another hard drive. My motherboard has a built in esata port on the back. Is it as simple as moving my blu ray sata cable to the esata jack on the back? Aesthetics mean nothing, this computer is hidden.

Usb To Sata Adapters For Storage Rather Than Buy Sata Cards
I've read here where people need to buy raid cards or pci, sata cards to add more hard drives to their system. Well i am in the same boat, i have 2, 30g vertex in raid, 3, 1. 5tb samsung, and 1 sata dvd drive. All my sata ports are full and a sata card costs. Idk more than 50 bucks i guess. Why can't we just use usb to sata adapters? The speed is relatively the same, at least for just xfer of files and streaming. It can be put internally, and it's cheap. Usb to sata adapter kits usually consist of the usb to sata adapter cable and a separate power-brick for sata to outlet. You can buy just the usb to sata adapter for 1$ from overseas with free shipping. Mount some usb headers internally to plug a few of these cables and run the sata power from your regular power-supply, it can handle.
So whats the thought behind this? It can be relatively hidden(i like clean cases and you can hide most anything) is a cheap solution to an expanding computer case (can't usb do like 126 devices?) And speeds are pretty good. Again this is for internal installation, you would use your power-supply for power, and 1$ per hard drive for the usb to sata adapter. I have a spare 750 and 2x 500 segates lying around and a lian li v2000 (abs clone) i got the space, just don't have the connections! Thoughts?

Adding A Third Sata Drive To An Existing Sata Raid Array
I have two 300gig sata drives set up in a raid 1 array. I want to add a third sata drive separate from the raid array so i can extract data from it. Any info would be appreciated.

Can't Boot From Sata Cdrom And Can't Find Sata Hd
Last night i built my dad a new computer, with two sata dvd-drives (but can only connect one with one of my sata cables. Apparently the motherboard manufacturer only likes to include one sata cable. My fault for ordering oem and not checking on the cable quantity. ), A wd sata hard drive and an ecs nforce 570 slit-a motherboard. Anyway, when i boot up with the windows xp cd in the dvd drive, it won't detect the drive and boot from the cd. Ok, i thought i might have that problem (never dealt with sata drives besides hd's), so i just plugged in an ide cdrom, but now it won't find the hd.
I've put raid drivers from ecs on a disk as well as wd sata drives on a disk and hit f6 when prompted in the winxp boot screen. The ecs drivers did nothing for me and the wd drivers said something about it being corrupt or something of the sort (sorry, can't remember exactly. So i've had no luck. I've also tried plugging in the original ide hd from his old computer but it immediately restarts when it should start loading windows. I had to go to sleep because i have work today, so i didn't fiddle around with it too much more than what i've explained above, and that's where i am now so i won't get to try anything for awhile.

Sata 150 Vs. Sata 2
I'm building my new computer, and i was wondering. Western digital makes a 10, 000rpm sata 150 hard drive. Although this is a super fast drive speed, i'm not sure the transfer rates can back it up. Would running 2 sata 150 10, 000rpm drives in raid 0 be faster than 2 sata ii 7, 200rpm.

Using Sata Drives And Sata Cc
1. Can you plug/unplug sata devices without problems like usb devices?
2. If i get a sata controller card can i also go ahead and add what sata devices i want to add before booting up, or do i need to install it then turn off the computer and then plug them in?
3. What scc would you recommend? The more sata ports the better.
