3 Problems (IDE, Corrupt files, SATA)

1) i do not want to use either sata or ide raid. i have 2 sata hdd and 5 ide devices (3x hdd, 2x cdroms)
is it possible to connect all of them onto the mainboard so that all of them will work independantly (no raid). Or do i need an add-on ide controller?
Basically, can i get IDE2 and IDE3 to work without using raid?
2) after upgrading some of my files and folders have become corrupt/empty/strange characters. You know of a way to get my info back?
Is this because i re-installed windows? I tried one of my ide hdd in another machine and the data is missing there as well!
3) in the motherboard manual it says that in the bios one can configure SATA as: ide, ahci, raid.
I can only choose ide. Am i doing something wrong/forgetting something?
My system System:
915g combo
Bios v1.3
1024 DDR1
3.2ghz processor

You have mentioned that you upgrade your windows from a previous version? If you did, it's not a recommended way as upgrading overwrites the dlls and not a total cleanup of the old unused dlls, which may caused errors.
I recommend a clean format of windows and a clean re-installation of windows.

Corrupt file problems installing latest Flash on Windows Vista - help please?!

When trying to install the latest Flash on my Windows Vista (I'm not great with computers so more than the internet system I use I'm not sure what other details are necessary), I keep getting the message "install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe - Corrupt File. File or directory C:\$Secure is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility." As I have no idea what the Chkdsk utility is, or how to run it, can someone please tell me how to fix this problem? Apparently I have Flash Player installed on my computer, but not the plug-in necessary to play media files on the internet. What do I need to do to fix this?

This Microsoft help document should walk you through the steps of using Chkdsk to scan (and repair) your hard drive.

Problem with corrupted images in flash file

Hey people, i've been searching around and this is the best place I could find to post th
is.
I was wondering if there was anyone out there who could help me with some corrupted files.
Apparently its a random error where when saving some images may not save properly, I originally saved the file in CS3 and am now working on it where I only have CS4 and 5 available to me.
The file can open in CS5 but not CS4 for some reason however there are certain scenes containing certain symbols which obviously haven't saved properly and so are missing and "corrupted"
I also copied the original SWFs from testing and the symbols which are corrupted just show up as red shapes in those as well.
I am unable to save the file due to these symbols causing it to crash when saving in any available formats and unable to delete the corrupted files as when I attempt to access them flash crashes as well
I was wondering if there's anyone who would be able to access the file or even anyone willing to attempt to solve the problem as I am on a deadline of a week after christmas and am worried I may not be able to complete it by then with these problems.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
(Also I have no idea how to attach the files if anyone can tell me how it would be great or I could upload them elsewhere and post a link)

Disk problem in MacBook Pro (hardware or corrupted files?)

I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a 15" MBP 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 3 GB RAM (added 1 to the original setup.)
A few months ago I replaced the original 120 GB hard drive, as it was getting full and making my computer slower. The new one is a 350 GB 5400 rpm Western Digital drive. I did this myself, following the instructions in ifixit.com, as I have done it in the past with other machines, including my wife's MBP, that is working fine.
In the first OS install I used migration assistant and recreated the original user exactly as in the old disk. After a couple of months of use the computer started to get slower and presented permission problems that didn't seem serious (used Disk Utility to check). After a while, there was also a report of problems on disk verification, that at one point couldn't be repaired with Disk Utility. I was able to get rid of the problem for a while using Disk Warrior, but at some point the disk problems appeared again and I had to do a new OS install from zero.
This time I formatted the hard drive writing zeros to correct possible physical errors and did a clean install. Used migration assistant to copy only my user's documents and library. After a couple of weeks of running the laptop without problems, I am having again reports of disk errors that Disk Utility can't repair. Disk Warrior can't access the drive and Tech Tool Pro reports 72 bad sectors.
My question is:
Is this definitely a hardware problem that will be solved by replacing the hard drive again, or is it possible that this is being the result of some corrupt files on my user's library (as the problem only appears after a while)?

ign wrote:
Is it normal that the drve appears to be OK after an OS install and that the physical problem only appears after a while?
If you zero it, yes. That's exactly what zeroing does, "mapping" the HD so bad sectors/blocks are not used. But if a HD is dying, more bad areas will show up. It's time to replace the HD.

Boot problems with IDE HD and SATA HD on K7N2-Delta L

I'll get right to the point.
I have an PCI SATA Controller Card in my system (using a K7N2 Delta-L motherboard, BIOS v5.7 with an Athlon XP 2800+ and Corsair ValueSelect 512MB DDR400 RAM on a single stick). My system works fine in it's original configuration of drives (CD-RW drive only drive on IDE bus, and SATA drive only hard drive). However, upon installing my IDE hard drive from my old computer, the system will no longer boot right. I am connecting the other IDE HD as Slave on the CD-RW's bus, as I'm reserving the second bus for bigger and better things such as a DVD burner, and speed isn't too important for this hard drive as it's just my MP3/data I don't need in a hurry drive.
In the current configuration, all three drives are detected properly (CD-RW and HD detected on the IDE detection screen, and the SATA drive detected on the SATA card's detection screen). However, after the SATA detection screen, the system just stops. The cursor is still blinking, but nothing comes up.
Both hard drives are Western Digitals (IDE is a ATA100 Western Digital 60GB at 5400 RPM, and the SATA is a Western Digital 36.7GB at 10,000 RPM), and the CD-RW is a HP CD-Writer 9100. I have Windows XP installed on both hard drives (first partition of the IDE, which is divided into two), but considering the system doesn't even attempt to boot I don't think that's an issue. I've gone through and tried enabling and disabling "Boot Other Device", but still no love. My boot order is set to Floppy, CD-ROM, and SCSI, which works fine when the SATA drive is in there.
Any idea what's up? I can provide more information upon request, as I'm sure there's something I forgot to mention that's important.
Thanks.

Take a look at this link, https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=71384, I think you both have the same problem. It seems that a sata drive doesn't like having an ide drive in the system that has an active partition.
Do like Wonkanoby suggest, reformat the ide hard drive and make sure that it's not set to be the active partition in the system. Boot with a 98 boot floppy if you have to so you can format the ide drive to fat32, once you can boot up using the sata drive you can use xp disk manager to convert the ide drive to ntfs.

Problems with H264 encoding -- corrupted files...

In Media Encoder CS5 I tried to export my Premiere Pro CS5 sequence with H264 encoding(30 fps, progressive, CBR 6 mbps, 640 x 480). Audio(AAC, 48 kHz, 256 kbps). It have made a corrupt video file(with 2 GB size, and it should be ~3,5 GB). I tried to re-export with these settings, and now the size was 1045 MB. Again corrupted file, it cannot be played... The Media Encoder says that there is no errors, the rendering was successful. After several other tries with different settings, I cannot render my movie.
What can I do?
Thanks for help!

Hello all,
This is an old thread, but it's an old problem that I'm concerned may still be continuing.
We're moving from 3.2 to 4.1. While copying our applications from 3.2 to a test 4.1 installation, we did a static file export for "All static files" from 3.2 and did an import to 4.1. We're seeing the same behavior that I and others have reported in the past - any static files that are javascript are corrupted when "all static files" was chosen. Exporting/importing each javascript static file individually appears to work fine.
If the bug was in 3.2 in that it was generating a corrupted export file when "all static files" is chosen, then I'm not concerned - we're moving from 3.2 anyway. But, if the issue is in the import then it must still exist in 4.1 and that would be a concern.
Does anyone know if this was a recognized bug in 3.2 and has since been corrected?
Thanks!
John

How to find corrupted file causing problem with FCP?

I couldn't use Log and Transfer of FCP 7.0.3 for AVCHD from Canon Vixia.
By starting from different user account Log and Transfer worked which means I have a corrupted file in the directory of original user account causing the error of Log and Transfer. What will be the easiest way to find the corrupted file?
Milan

If the new user acct test allows you to work with the software, it usually means a dead pref file. The easiest way to deal with these issues is to run Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager software (free) to delete the preference files in FCP.
Open it up and look under the FCP settings in the Advanced tab. It gives you the option of selectively deleteing the various pref files associated with the app.
First back up all your FCP prefs then start deleting them one by one. Once you figure out which one is the problem, restore all the others.

XSan Corrupt Files Causing Big Problems

Hello
We have 2 PPC XServes running 10.4.8 with XSan 1.4.1 on 1x Xraid, xsan user quotes are also setup. This all seems to be working smoothly but we have serious issues when users save files that have exceeded the file space they have been given.
We get corrupted files ending up 0k or 4k. Basically students think they have saved files correct but when they come back to opening the file it is corrupted so they loose work. It is becoming a big problem as students are loosing work and I dont have any control of notifying the user before they hit the quota limit they have been assigned.
Does anyone else have this problem or a solution as I would greatly appreciate this.
Regards.

Hello Lee,
When you setup user quotas in XSAN admin, you should be able to set a soft quota and a hard quota, this should result in your users getting warning message when the soft quota is exceed and an error message of -1425 when they try to write over their hard quota.
There's also a quota application installed with XSAN that tells them how close to their quota they are at at all times.
Are you not seeing any error messages before the quota is exceeded? And exactly how are these files corrupted? Can they not open them at all or can they open them and it's just not quite right?

External hard drive, error -36, corrupt files and slow transfer speeds

This is a long post but stay with me.
I've got an external 250GB Lacie drive connected to my 24" Intel iMac via Firewire 800. I have approximately 80GB worth of files (including my iPhoto library) on the Lacie that I'm trying to move over to my iMac but have run into some frustrating problems.
Overall, transfer speeds are erratic – fine at times and SUPER SLOW (5 minutes to transfer a 3MB file) at other times. At first I was transferring entire folders, but after always getting errors (error -36 to be exact), I was having to transfer individual files. This works fine as long as the files aren't too big (which makes the transfer speeds SUPER SLOW) and not corrupt (which gets me an error -36). Is my Lacie crashing on me? Is there any hope?
Here's what I've done to try and salvage my sanity with no resolve to my problems (not exactly in this order):
1) Ran Disk Utility to repair Lacie. Everything came back OK
2) Ran Disk Warrior on Lacie. Found a handful of bad items that Disk Warrior was able to repair. Had Disk Warrior replace the old directory of the Lacie with the new directory.
3) Ran Drive Genius: Raired and Rebuilt the directory, did an Integrity Check (came back OK), attempted to Defrag but could not because of errors to the drive, did a Scan for bad blocks (which after running for 3 days! it was only 20% complete and had found over 150 bad blocks, at which point I quit to try something else)
4) Checked that my Firewire cable was properly connected and replaced the older one I was using with a brand new one.
5) Disconnected all peripherals except for keyboard, mouse and Lacie.
6) And at times, even viewing a file on the Lacie has caused my Finder to crash, requiring a restart of my iMac.
I'm sure I've left something off I've tried but you get the idea.
I've read that maybe I can transfer my files using Terminal. Yes/No? Does this bypass any corruption the files may have?
What about creating a second partition on the Lacie and moving files over to the second partition? Does this solve anything? I don't know anything about partitioning so maybe I'm talking crazy.
I've also read that iPhoto tends to corrupt files which makes me hate iPhoto, and myself for not backing up.
And I've read a lot about error -36's and none of it sounds good so I'm just hoping that someone might have other suggestions for me to try and save my files (especially my iPhoto files which include baby pictures that if I lose, my wife will kill me).
So if anyone has any ideas, let me know. Please. I'll try anything.

Hi Aaron Thompson-
I am fairly certain you have a bad power supply brick to the LaCie drive. This is a hard problem to troubleshoot as generally when the bricks go bad they do so slowly and the drive appears to power up and stuff but it just doesn't work.
If the drive is under warranty LaCie will replace the brick at no charge. Otherwise they sell them for around $20US on their website.
Luck-

STOP 0x0000007B after IDE mode on SATA 1.5 HDD / Endless Boot Time

Lenovo IdeaCentre K410
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
- ST31000524AS 1 TB
Added by me:
- Maxtor 6Y120M0 100 GB (Diamondmax Plus 9 SATA 1.5 Gb/s)
Alternate boot methods attempted:
- (DVD) Lenovo OneKey 7.0 Recovery
- (DVD) Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (FPP)
- (DVD) Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (FPP)
- (DVD) Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (LiveCD)
- (USB) Windows 10/Technical Preview
- (1 TB HDD) Windows 10/Technical Preview
=== DESIRED RESULT
I want to use OneKey 7.0 (the OEM's "system default" recovery/rescue system) to install its Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit onto the 6Y120M0. I will then use a USB volume to install Windows 10/Technical Preview on the ST31000524AS.
=== PROBLEM
Whenever the 6Y120M0 (Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 1.5 Gb/s) HDD is attached to a SATA controller, any boot method other than (DVD) Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (LiveCD) hangs endlessly at startup.
Thus, the OneKey 7.0, Windows 7 FPP, and Windows 10 boot media would show an animated Windows logo at startup and animate endlessly. The HDD light would remain solid. No further progress was made even when the computer was left alone for 35 minutes.
This issue occurred with or without the ST31000524AS 1 attached. If the 6Y120M0 was disconnected, bootup using any of the alternate methods above proceeded successfully and the HDD light would not be solid, whether or not the ST31000524AS was attached.
An interesting side note is that when the ST31000524AS was originally being used with the OEM-provided Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, I was able to attach the 6Y120M0 and it would be detected as an extra volume when booting directly to the ST31000524AS.
=== ACTION TAKEN
Sometimes a solid or hyperactive HDD light can be indicative of HDD failure. Thus, I sought diagnostic tools from the HDD's manufacturer since I couldn't even boot into a Windows recovery environment to run CHKDSK.
Since Maxtor is now under the care of Seagate and my MaxBlast CD from the early new millenium doesn't seem to work anymore, I downloaded SeaTools for DOS onto a CD and attempted to use it. No HDDs were found. It is also interesting to note that
the ST31000524AS could not be found by this software when it was attached.
After searching around on Google, I found a resource that suggested changing a BIOS setting in order to make the HDDs visible to the diagnostic utility. Apparently, this is a setting (which I've never used before) called "SATA Mode."
My BIOS gives me one of three options for this setting: "IDE" (which I recognize as the parallel ribbons I used to install on my HDDs as a teen), "AHCI," and "Disabled." The setting was on "AHCI," and the
resource recommended changing it to "IDE." After doing this, SeaTools detected the HDDs.
A long scan of the 6Y120M0 found no defects. There were no SMART warnings.
However, I noticed something curious after running the diagnostic. With the BIOS still set to "IDE mode," all of the alternate boot methods mentioned above were now working with the 6Y120M0 attached and there was no longer a solid HDD light.
I was able to boot into the OneKey 7.0 environment successfully and install a new image on the 6Y120M0. However, upon attempting to boot into the new installation, I received a STOP 0x0000007B error. Switching back to "AHCI" mode, I
was able to boot into Windows 7 on the 6Y120M0; however, the problem previously experienced of hanging using any other boot method persisted.
I followed instructions elsewhere on these forums to have dump files written to %SystemRoot%\MiniDump, but was not successful - even after making sure that certain services were off, creating the folder on my own, and ensuring the 'Everyone' had full access.
=== INFERENCES MADE
I explored several resources - including this forum - to try to find others with similar issues and further understand the significance of the SATA mode setting. The 6Y120M0's connection points look identical to those used by the ST31000524AS and the
DVD drive, so I am certain it is SATA. The posts I came across were from users who suspected that there was something wrong with AHCI and that it was necessary to use IDE, but I read other comments that stated that AHCI is supposed to work just fine
with SATA devices. Many of the issues remotely similar to my own did not seem to have a definitive solution.
Further research into the specific STOP error in Microsoft's Knowledge Base helped me learn that Windows apparently only installs device drivers necessary for use at the time of installation. Thus, if you're using SATA, it's not going to install IDE
drivers, and switching modes will cause the STOP error as a result.
(source: knowledge base article # 922976)
Unfortunately, almost all of the references I see to this issue on Microsoft's website, Microsoft's communities, and even non-Microsoft websites seem to refer to this problem in the context of switching from IDE mode to SATA. In this case, I am trying
to switch what my OEM probably intended to be SATA to an IDE. This leads me to believe that installing the IDE controller drivers on the Windows 7 installation while in ACHI mode and then going back to IDE mode will resolve this issue, but I have not
been able to find IDE drivers from Microsoft's website.
I wonder if it would be possible to use my Windows 7 Home Premium FPP (full packaged product) to do either a repair or direct driver installation on the 6Y120M0 while running in IDE mode. I am thinking about doing it, but haven't done it yet because
I'm worried that installing drivers from a FPP may alter the licensing of the OEM provided product. I want to fully utilize the OEM-provided operating system (since I paid for it!) without the need to bust out my FPP. Since the licenses and activation
processes are tied to motherboards, the HDD is the only change that is being made, and the OEM's recovery software is fully willing to install to a non-OEM HDD, I see no reason why this can't continue.
(I'm saving the FPP for a special occasion.)
=== DESIRED ASSISTANCE
I'm 26. Back in "my day," we used IDE to connect to our storage, CD-RWs to back things up, Notepad to build our websites, computers that actually made a beep when you turned them on, and master boot records to get them going. (another
thing I just discovered - some acronym that sounds like "Yuffie?" Isn't that a Final Fantasy VII character? whatever it is, I guess it's now replacing BIOS as we know it.)
My dry attempt at humor notwithstanding, I feel that this is a potential learning experience. I need you to explain to me (and anyone else who comes across this search result in Google - OOPS! - I mean Bing) what is /specifically/ happening and why.
Please try to resist the urge to tell me not to use hard drives from 13 years ago.
Now, while I wait for a reply, I think I'll go play a little Age of Empires II. At least that's SOMETHING from a familiar time that still wants to work for me. .. well, as long as you remember to kill the explorer.exe process first, at least.
*snicker*
Thank you very much in advance for any insight you are able to provide. :-)

Hi Shane,
Thanks for your detailed description.
Just as your inference, it caused by incompatible driver for different device.
Let's try this:
locate to the registry below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci
change its value as "0", and then boot into computer, change SATA mode to AHCI mode.
After that, check the result.

Do you store IDE-specific files in your repository?

Hi ,
In [Continuous Integration|http://martinfowler.com/articles/continuousIntegration.html] , The author state that
"You must put everything required for a build in the source control system, however you may also put other stuff that people generally work with in there too. IDE configurations are good to put in there because that way it's easy for people to share the same IDE setups."
This is quite contradict with my personal believe that IDE-specific configurations shouldn't be check-in to source repository. Doesn't it mean that team members have no freedom in choosing their IDE? Even they agree to use the same IDE, how can you manage the compatibility of IDE configuration files across various versions. Different team members may prefer different version of the IDE. Even with the same version, the IDE configuration files are very easy to get modified by all sort of actions. Do all those changes should be check-in to the repository?
I am re-organizing my repository so I am interested to know whether you keep your IDE-specific files in your repository. If you do, please share with me how you deal with the above problems.
Thanks very much

The story:
A programmer left the organisation about two years ago. Part of the exit process is to totally wipe the harddisk (stored passwords, history, etc, etc). We lost the only working ant-build-scripts for our production branch... Not long after that the decree came down from on high that every-single-iddy-biddy-farking-file used to build the sucker WILL BE IN VSS.... ABSAPOSITIVELY NO EXCEPTIONS!
I for one agree whole heartedly with that decree, because I was the poor noobie (as in new to the job, java, weblogic, and web-apps) who having just sat in the nice hot seat, had to learn all about "building big complex java projects" really farking soon now, like yesterday... it delayed the release of a "critical" production patch for a month... after two weeks of me trying to get it building (with no real end in sight) we stripped all the high/medium risk RFC's out of the development branch, tested it double time, and shipped it.
It's not fascism... it's professionalism.... McRisk McManagement.
