A7vbx-la sata support

I have a asustek a7vbx-la mother board installed in a persario sr1265cl
would like to run a sata drive from the sata 1 port , but it is not being recognized
do i need a bios update or driver update?
maybe this is not compatible

Thank You VJ_R,
I have seen this guide, but it does not highlight the SATA version.
I see only SATA (3 GB/sec), at the Hard drive section, so maybe its SATA II then.
I have not spotted the 160GB SSD limit before,
so thanks very much for highlighting for me.
Cheers

External SATA support?

I know some PC motherboards include extra SATA connectors on them that aren't always pre-connected for you. Does the Mac Pro have any extra SATA connectors on its motherboard?
I just saw this deal at Shop4Tech (http://www.shop4tech.com/user.htm?go=view_item&id=5849&siteID=Es5Ekr9eEBk-Gqhcdo kOkqNlKYq4SwHL1w) which is only $24 for an external SATA enclosure. But I'm wondering if there's any way I'd be able to connect it to my upcoming Mac Pro.

There is external SATA support for the Mac Pro using PCIe host adapters. I tried cabling the two SATA ports on the board to the rear of the Mac Pro but they do not support hot swap - so you have to restart each time you change hard drives on them. Not an ideal solution.
I found a better options.
1. Get a 2-port WiebeTech Tera Card TCES0-2e for $99.99
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/wiebetech/tces0/
2. Get a FirmTek SeriTek/2SE2-E and use the FirmTek 2SM2-E driver with it until the new Mac Pro EFI firmware comes out that will allow this card to be bootable.
3. Call Addonics at 408-433-3898 and ask them to sell you a ADSA3GPX1-2E
flashed with the BASE BIOS b7.3.13 for $39.99 for the Mac Pro. Tell them AMUG sent you. Then use the SiI-3132 Mac driver version 1.1.6 found here:
http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=32&cid=3&ctid= 2&osid=3&
I have three of the Addonics cards in a Mac Pro which provides 6 external hot swap SATA ports. You can use them for RAID or individual hard drives. So when someone tells you that no external SATA ports are available for the Mac Pro they just don't know
Have fun!

Help needed - boot disk - SATA support?

I've been trying to flash my bios with the latest patch for the 865PE Neo2 FISR
However when i boot from the floppy into dos i don't have access to my hard drive to run the flash program. I'm assuming that this is due to the fact that i'm running 2 SATA HDD's in RAID 0 format. If this is correct are there specific boot disk images that have support for RAID?
Thanks in advance.
Dave

With NTFS file system, you need to make a Win98 boot disk. Go to
http://www.bootdisk.com/
and get a Win98 or WinME OEM boot disk.
Copy your flash program and bios image to a second disk.
Boot from the Win98 floppy. This will create a ram drive c:
Change to that drive by typing
C:
Then put in your bios floppy and copy all the files to the c drive:
copy a:*.*
Then flash

I doubt that this will work, but try ir5 and go to forge.novell.com
zfdimgdrv to see if you can get support there..
otherwise you would need to get a hacked version of the zdm 7 stuff or even
higher..
If you have already compiled drivers or have linux.2 please put them on

SATA-supported by ICH10R vs. SATA-supported by JMicron 363

As the title suggests...is there one that should be used over another?
I do not plan on using a raid array.
Does it matter which ports I use for the HDD or an optical drive?

The primary Intel ICH10R Controller can support a maximum of 6 SATA-Ports/drives and does not support old-school IDE-Ports/drives anymore. In order to have additional SATA ports (more than 6) and an IDE Interface, there has to be a different/additional chipset that controls them. And voila, there you have a reason why there is an additional controller which controls additional ports. The point is not to provide you with a choice but to provide you with more connectors in case 6 SATA ports are not enough and a legacy IDE Port is needed. The fact that you have a choice is more of a side effect.
Which one of the two sets of ports you decide to use, is totally up to you. There may be differences in performance, but they are rather insignigicant. Just test and see what suits your needs better.

Hp dv7 6001 Sata support?

Hi,
I have hp dv7 6001st(or 6000st) laptop. I have 2 drives. I would like to upgrade my primary drive to ssd but don't know which ssd to buy.
I also don't know if my laptop supports sata 3 or 2 ssd speeds. So, I called HP today and asked some questions and this was one of them. They said me to look my laptop's manual but I couldn't see anything like that and there is no information on internet. Could you please tell me if my laptop supports SATA 3 or SATA 2 ssd's ?

Generally if SATA disk is listed in the Service manual or the specification then SATA 300 is a safe choice for best compatibility. I asked that question of my HP contacts a short while ago and that was the response that I was gven.
Your notebook's specs dv7.
I suggest purchasin an SSD that comes with the hardware and software tyo make the migration simple. I chose a Crucial Force series upgrade kit for my latest primary hard disk conversion to SSD .
Best regards,
erico

P6N SLI Platinum SATA Support

Hi all,
I have a P6N SLI Platinum and I was just wondering if the SATA ports on this board will support 2 terabyte hard drives. Looking to get some new drives and will most likely pick up 3 drives at 2 TB each.
Thanks,
- Sam

Yup, checked with MSI and their official response is:
"The board could support any HDD in principle, due to this board has been phase out so long, so please test the combination before purchasing."
Not what I wanted to hear, lol. Guess all I can do is order the drives and hope for the best. I'm not expecting problems, but it would've been reassuring to have a useful response from MSI.
Thanks guys,
- Sam

Intel IHC5 SATA Support

Hi -- Just downloaded Solaris 5.10 for X86_64 and again the install
does not see the Intel ICH5 SATA Controller.
What can I do to circumvent this issue --- I've search Sunsolve and I found nothing ---
Is this a known/resolvable issue?
I look forward to all of your responses.

SATA drives on Intel ICH chipsets should work in P-ATA compatibilty mode,
if you enable that mode in the system's bios.

Native SATA hard drive support for hp pavilion notebooks DV2000 , DV9000

Hello,
decided to post a question on this hp forum instead of the hundreds of other tech forums out there in the hopes of recieving a valid knowledgeble response. (Also since the question relates to Hp products lets give it a try on here>>)
So here is the question I'm trying to get answer for. Can a SATA hard drive from DV 2000 series notebook be used in a DV 9000 notebook series? I have done some forum reading and apparently there is compatibility issues depending on chipset (Intel or Amd or ATI?)
My Dv2000 series had a fujitsu 250gb hard drive which ran Vista 64bit on an AMD/nvdia motherboard,
I want to use this in my DV 9233cl notebook which has an Intel/nvidia chipset motherboard.
When I insert the fujitsu 250gb into the dv9233cl the notebook powers on, does a read of hard drive for 10 mins or so (hdd LED lights up, goes dim while reading) then says : No OS found.
I tried to do a fresh install using Vista CD; its doesn't recognize the drive. I click option to load drivers for hard drive (yes I also got intel drivers for Intel SATA controllers from hp web site) the drivers load but still do not pick up the hard drive;
I want to know two things really..if at post the motherboard reads the drive or trys to does this means the hard drive itself is good/healthy? If so , why does it not recognize by Vista Install disk or by the intel SATA drivers?
If anyone can accurately say what the problem is would be great.
Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for responding and opening up the discussion with more information.
I refered to it as new in my post in reference to obtaining it recently after my older dv2913cl.
The dv9233cl is in fact old, however I installed a brand new intel/nvidia motherboard into it.
The system boots, bios has native sata support set to 'enabled'. During post it recognises hdd device as it starts to click and spin and read. After it will say ' no OS found'. This to me seems normal as the hdd is not 'configured' to boot on the dv9233cl?
Also the systm boots and runs fine into mini Xp for diagnostics. So overall I know the dv9233cl is functioning.
However mini Xp does not recognise there is a hdd device.
Wanting to reformat or do a fresh install of Vista I boot from the Vista Install disk. It does not pick up or recognise a hdd is present. I install Intel SATA controller drivers which I obtained from Hp website (as suggested by expert forum members to those who have similar SATA hdd not being recognised with intel motherboard)
Link for intel SATA drivers for XP and Vista
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=US&swItem=ob-542...
I used the SATA controllers which came up on the screen and even try going through each one ; however the SATA hdd device is not picked up. So this is the main question and issue. Neither any DOS hdd utility , mini XP or Vista install disk recognise there is a hdd present.
Why is it not recognised and how to resolve.?

im able to enable dma/set Xfer mode/IO/ only in the pata drive, not in the sata drive..in kernel config ive enabled "scsi low-level->sata support->silicon image sata support" and also enabled "silicon image chipset support under ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support"
im right now using sata as root and the drive is stable..just need dma..thanks in advance

According to Jeff Garzik's sata pages the drivers for the Sil 311x chipsets have beta status.
I had worse luck with my no-name PCI Sil-SATA controllers: as soon as I connected a hard disk the kernel would not boot anymore when using libata drivers. I can only use the allegedly deprecated IDE drivers, these work fine for me.
The libata drivers should set the proper DMA modes automatically, but things are slightly different with SATA. Anyways, 20MB/s is proof enough that some sort of DMA is actually there. Performance would be much worse without any DMA at all.
If you really want to use the libata driver you should try a 2.6.12rc kernel, libata has seen quite a many updates since 2.6.11

How many IDE drives & CDrom can be installed with SATA drives??

How many IDE drives & CDrom can be installed with SATA drives??
i have 2 IDE hard disks & 2 CDROM drives: can install SATA hard disk added to these drives or do i have to remove some???
& if it can be added, can i install 2 SATA drives???
THX in advance

The 3 versions of this board that are available are:
875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0)
875P Neo-LSR (PCB 1.0)
875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0)
All of these boards will have the following ports provider by the chipsets ICH5R south bridge.
2 x SATA (Supporting 2 SATA HDD drives)
2 x PATA (Supporting 4 IDE devices)
All 6 of these can be used at the same time (provided you are using win XP or 2K) you just need to make sure yor BIOS is set right.
->INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS
->ON-CHIP IDE CONFIG
ATA CONFIG: S-ATA ONLY or P-ATA ONLY
S-ATA/P-ATA KEEP ENABLED: YES
OPERATE MODE:
If you set to "legacy mode" S-ATA are set to channel 1 and 2 and P-ATA to channel 3 and 4. If you set to "native mode" P-ATA are channel 1 and 2 and S-ATA 3 and 4. You can only use the raid functionfon SATA in native mode.
If you have the 875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0) you will also have the following ports provided by the Promise PDC20378 PCI controller:
2 x SATA (Supporting 2 SATA HDD drives)
1 x PATA (Supporting 1 Master IDE HDD drive)
The PATA port is limited to 1 Master HDD by the lite BIOS. This can in theory be upgraded to the full BIOS supporting a master and a slave, but this may obviously void your warranty.
So the answer to your origional question is:
2 x SATA HDDs and 4 x IDE HDD/CDROM if you have 875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0) or 875P Neo-LSR (PCB 1.0)
or
4 x SATA HDDs, 1 x IDE HDD (2 if you modify the BIOS) and 4 x IDE HDD/CDROM if you have 875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0)

SATA DVD BIOS sees it but XP does not

I hope I have the forum right, Motherboard markings are: MS-6743 Ver 1.1
I think this makes it an 865GM2/865PEM2 but much of the text in this forum talks about changes in BIOS settings that I do not see.
Problem: I have a SATA Plextor DVD drive that I can't get XP to see. The BIOS detects it Ok which seems to imply the cables must be connected Ok. In XP though, there is no sign of either the drive or any mention of SATA in device manager / disk controllers. Nothing in disk manager either.
PC is Pentium 4 3.2Ghz hyper-threading, 1GB DDR, 52x IDE CD, 2 IDE HDDs.
Does my SATA support oprical and how do I get XP to see what the BIOS is seeing?

Thanks for the quick response. The Native mode part is set in the BIOS. The ther settings I do not see. Does this mean I should upgrade the BIOS? If so, any chance somebody could point me at the correct latest version for my board?
The boot-up sequence is so fast, I don't know how to see my current Bios version?
Its an optical DVD drive I'm trying to get working via SATA, booting is not a problem - its just that XP does not see my new DVD drive via SATA.

Installing sata drives

inel 2.8 prescott
while formatting my hard drive the instructions came up press F6 to install SCSI or raid drivers i put the floppy disc in (intel IAA RAID driver). the computer read the floppy, but when icame to check the device manager there were no SCSI or raid controllers. does this mean the sata drive has not installed?
thanks geoff

Are you sure that your mobo is the 845 series and not the 865 or 875 series as ICH4 on 845 series doesn't have onboard SATA support? Or is that you are using a SATA add on card for the SATA HDDs?

SATA & NCQ

Dear All,
I have a system as follows;
Processor : Pentium IV 530 3.0Ghz 775 LGA
Mainboard : MSI 7028 915P Neo2-FR (7028-030)
Ram : 512 x 2 Kingston Dual Ram 533
GCard : Sparkle Geforce 6600GT 128 Mb Ram
Hdd : Seagate 160 GB HDD 7200 rpm 8mb cache SATA, NCQ
The hard disk was selected espacially because of the NCQ (Native Command Queing) ability.
I have two questions (problems). I am not so familiar with the Bios or the hardware (as you will soon notice )
First;
When I enter Bios, there is the following key,
Integrated Peripheral -> SATA Devices Configuration -> ATA/IDE configuration
There are three choices for this key,
Disabled / Compatible / Enhanced.
If you select as Compatible or Enhanced, then another key appears
Configure SATA as
and there is only one value IDE. No selection for NCQ or anything else.
Default values are ATA/IDE Config = Enhanced and Configure SATA as = IDE
I did not quite understand what configure sata as IDE means. Am I using the SATA Drive as an IDE drive? and what can I do to use the hdd's ncq mode? Doesnt the mainboard support ncq? Are the above settings correct or should I change them to what?
I can not see AHCI or RAID in the choices as the mainboards handbook says. I tried to flash the bios with the latest version but it did not seem to work either. Then I understood that the mainboard has ICH6 chipset (not ICH6R). Still it has Via Raid chip on the mainboard. What should I do to use AHCI and NCQ?
Second;
What the hell does Integrated Peripheral -> IDE Devices Configuration -> PCI IDE Busmaster key? Should it be enabled or disabled?
PLEASE HELP !!!
FROM THE HANDBOOK
ATA/IDE Configuration, Configure SATA as
These 2 items allow you to select the ATA/IDE and SATA configuration. Select [Disabled] in ATA/IDE Configuration if you want to disable both ATA/IDE configuration. Select [Compatible] or [Enhanced] to use the IDE, S-ATA and P-ATA devices. Refer to the following tables for details.
ATA/IDE Configuration
(Compatible)
SATA Only [SATA 1/3/2/4]
PATA Pri, SATA Sec [IDE1, SATA2/4]
SATA Pri, PATA Sec [SATA1/3, IDE1]
PATA Only [IDE1]
ATA/IDE Configuration
(Enhanced)
IDE [IDE1, SATA 1/2/3/4]
AHCI [IDE1, SATA 1/2/3/4]
RAID [IDE1, SATA 1/2/3/4],
[SATA support RAID 0 or 1]
For the setting options of Configure SATA as, select [IDE] if you want to have SATA as IDE function. Select [AHCI] to allow the SATA to have Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) feature, which supports improved serial ATA disk performance with native command queuing & native hot plug. Select [RAID] to use SATA as RAID function. Setting options: [IDE], [AHCI], [RAID].

You definately want the first setting to be Enhanced. This may be enough to give you AHCI mode. I had a look at the manual for the 945 board and it has the same Phoenix bios, but the settings are rearranged.
I don't know how you test to see if it is enabled for real or not.
PCI IDE Busmaster key determines if a PCI controller card can be used as a boot controller. I have never seen a difference having it turned on or off, and when I used a Promise PCI card if the setting was off it got turned on anyways.

2.5 PATA to SATA - Possible?

Hello,
Just acquired in mint condition a PowerBook G4 17 inch 9970 model. I have seen and heard of a type of PATA TO SATA adapter in existence and was wondering if this type of adapter is remotely possible for converting the PATA interface inside the powerbook to a sata? If this is true, then it is possible to use SATA HDDs and SSD's eliminating the need for a PATA SSD.
I was thinking of getting a PATA legacy SSD for 150.00, but might now consider the PATA-SATA adapter which will then allow sata support internally inside the powerbook. Can anyone confirm that this can work?
Nevertheless, I plan to get next week a PATA SSD Legacy drive if not.
Thanks
Romko

OWC has a relatively new line of "Legacy" SSDs and this one:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/MercuryLegacyPro
is supposed to work in a PBG4 according to their product info. Click on any of the sizes listed to see the models they claim are supported.
Did you acquire a 17" PowerBook or are you still asking about the 15-incher in the 17" forums? There may be size/fit issues with the smaller 15-inch case that are better addressed in the PBG4 15-inch forum area here:
