AMD storage controller problems with a 3tb HDD

I recently bought a Seagate 3tb HDD to use as extended / secondary storage. It seems that AMD has not updated its storage controller to recognize >2tb yet. I cannot find drivers for my chipset anywhere at least. And it seems that noone running an AMD chipset is upgrading HDD's past 2tb? I know Intel came out with an update for their controller that fixed this problem. Is anything available for the AMD controller like this?
Hp Pavilion HPE H8-1214
MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
AMD FX-6100 6 core processor
10 Gigs Ram
Gigabyte 2AC8 Mothermoard
AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series Gfx
1465GB Seagate ST1500DL003-9VT1 SCSI Disk Device (RAID) Primary (HP installed)
2930GB Seagate ST3000DM001-1CH1 SCSI Disk Device (RAID) Secondary (the problem drive)
Gigabyte has no mention of this Motherboard existing on their support site.
AMD has nothing about their Storage Controllers on theirs.
I can see all 3tb in Disk Management, but i cannot partition past 2.2tb. The last 746.52Gb will be unusable.
AMD AHCI compatible RAID Controller driver version is 3.3.1545.14 and Microsoft says that it is the most up-to-date
Any help with this would be great. Thanks!

Hi:
Here is the link to the latest AMD SATA RAID drivers. Second file on the list.
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows%207%20-%2064
That would be all the help I can offer because I don't know why all 3 TB of the drive can't be seen in one big partiton unless you didn't format it in GPT.
In order for all 3 TB to be seen in one partition, the drive has to be formatted in GPT.
Here is a HP white paper on GPT from a business PC...

Mass storage controller problem device

Laptop dv8305ca
OS: XP SP3
My system has slowed down to a crawl, sound is distorted and the screen flickers. System Info says Mass Storage Controller is a probelm device. The PNP Device ID is PCI\VEN_104&CDEV_8033&SUBSYS_309B103C&REV_00\4&13826118&0&23A4
I tried to fix it through Device Manager. Device location is PCI Slot 3 (PCI bus 6 device 4 function 3) Status is Code 28 - no drivers installed. I tried to reinstall driver but don't have an installation disc and don'tknow where else to find it.
Can I download the drivers from HP support onto a USB device on another computer and reinstall from the USB device into this computer and which specific driver do I need to install? Help much appreciated. Thanks

That's the TI media card reader, driver for XP is here: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33439.exe
Though, if it was working before and now reporting problems in control panel, the reader might be having hardware problems.

Problem with restoring my HDD from .dmg image

Hello,
I encountered a problem with boot camp which couln't make a new partition for windows, because it couldn't move some files. It was a problem of defragmentation which i found surprisingly hard to solve. I'm a new mac user, and i was unable to find any defragmentation utility. Even the boot camp ask me to make and image of HDD, reformat it, and then restore from image. It was quite easy when i was reading it but after all i end up with new instalation of MacOS X without access to my files stored on HDD image.
Here's what i did:
1. I made images of HDD and and partition. To make images smaller i previously copied all of my multimedia files to PC. Images were created as read only, not compressed. They were stored on PC
2. I have used disc utility after booting up from MacOS X CD, and made a new partition. It's name is the same as the one i made image from.
3. Now it's the point when i should restore my partition from image but i encountered some problems. I copied images to mac again and was trying to restore partition from it but disc utility said it doesn't have any checksums or something like that. I read that it was a problem of verifying image with disc utility (the first button on the upper left side called verify.) It have checked image and made checksums but i still was unable to restore partition from it.
Now, i know it might be silly to try restore HD from image on the same HD but shouldn't it shows some oder errors? After booting up from CD i can't connect to PC to browse it's resources and writing address (http://pcname/folder/partition.dmg) in source line in restore tab does not do anything.
Is the only solution to connect a firewire hard drive to my mac with images on it? Or it is a problem with my images (making image process didn't showed any errors with HDD image and partition image).
Moreover i cant access those images on my MBP cos it's says that there are no mountable file system. Does it means that this image is bad?
Please help, I'm running out of options as i don't have firewire HDD and i'm really annoyed cos things like defragmentation are so easy on Windows and i don't get it why it's must be so complicated on Mac
Sincerely
PS sorry for my english

Problems with external USB HDDs (MSI P67A-C45)

Hello! Help me, please.
I'm using number of external HDDs (3,5'' -- with power supply each). Most of them are plugged into the motherboard USB 2.0 via a powered USB hub. Some of them are plugged directly to the motherboard. I'm facing three major problems with them. Please, consult me.
1) I cannot access those of HDDs, which are plug via the hub. Windows just do not see them. If I plug the hub into a laptop, it works.
2) Only factory-made external HDDs are working, being plugged directly into USB 2.0. Those of them, which I made myself (using HDD and a box, obviously) are not working with USB 2.0, BUT ONLY WITH USB 3.0. I do not understand, whats the problem with USB 2.0 then... Devices like mouse, printers, scanners are working...
3) If HDDs are plugged and switched on during booting up, the loader gets stuck on "B4" phase. It can be completely stuck or only for 5 minutes and then go on booting. My question is: whats the problem? How can I fix this?
Please, take into the account that all this system was working perfectly fine a week ago, when I had another motherboard and CPU. I'm using these disks for several yeas. I just had a reason for the MB+CPU upgrade and this upgrade leads to such problems... Please, help me.

if they are all fitted with a seperate power source then yes it matters not
many usb drives have 2 usb connectors
one for data and power
the second is just for more power from a second connection

Problem with USB/External-HDD/etc... not writing?

Hello...
Recently I've been having a problem with my USB, and external harddrive. It seems that for some reason when I copy files to the device, they do not write. If I go and view the device contents on another PC, my files aren't there, but on this PC they are.
The only way that they will copy is if I right click and select "Safely Remove Drive."
I never used to have to do this; Is there a way to make files auto write?
Thanks in advance,
Stephen

Hi, you need to use -sync mount option.

What is the problem with Western Digital HDD and OS X.9?

I received an email from Western Digital saying that OS X.9 could cause my files on my WD drives to be erased and to unplug all my WD drives until a fix is done. Is this a real problem and if so when will Apple get the fix out. I have joibs I have to get out to clients and this is a major problem for me.

Western Digital has found that their applications have got serious compatibility problems with OS X Mavericks, and they have to be updated to make them compatible with Mavericks.
Until then, keep the OS X version you have got. This is a Western Digital problem and this is why your main computer shouldn't be upgraded just after the release of a new Mac OS X version

right after the biosgraphicscreen.
This is my System:
MB: MSI P35 NEO-FI
CPU: INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q6600 2.4GHZ 8MB

DVD: SAMSUNG DVD±R/RW/RAM SATA
HDD: WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR SE16 500GB ATA/100 16MB
Any suggestions?
So the problem is that I cant install any OS since the HDD cant be found by OS.
Thanks!

The IDE port belongs to the Marvell Controller. There are no special Marvell drivers available.
sjosidan, which drivers did you try to integrate at the beginning of Windows Setup (F6+Floppy). If you have a P35 Neo - board (MS-7360 PCB v1.0) there is no need to integrate any drivers during setup. In this sense, every driver you try to integrate is the wrong driver.
I know you said, that the problem is the same with Windows XP and Linux. However, let's focus on Windows XP for now when it comes to OS Installation.
Does the XP Install-CD you are using include Service Pack 2?
Which BIOS-Version are you currently using? (It should be displayed on the POST Screen (A7360IMS v1.??))
The Bios version is 1.1.0.
I dont have a sp2 disc Ive read some similar posts on the forum and I think it will work with the sp2 disc.
During my reading on this forum I've come to the conclusion that in order to install a linux system supporting IDE I first have to install Xp sp2 and then flash bios. Before installing a linux dist. Is this correct?
I ordered a new SATA disc yesterday it arrives tomorrow so then I won't have a problem, I'll be using the IDE disc in my server instead.

Problems with seagate external hdd

I have a Seagate 3TB external HDD attached to my iMac via a Firewire 800 cable. I have the latest software running (Yosemite 10.10.3) but the Mac no longer shows the HDD in finder, I can see it in disk utility but when i come to verify or repair the disk i get this message
" Error: Partition map check failed because no slices were found" I also get this message:
Verifying volume “Seagate External Drive”Verifying file system.Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.Invalid B-tree node sizeThe volume Seagate External Drive could not be verified completely.File system check exit code is 8.Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.
The drive is nearly full and I really don't want to lose any files, can anyone help please..

Hi Brian
Connect the External HD directly up to one of the iMac's and follow the Formatting and Partitioning instructions in Ken's article: (but note that doing so will erase the data on the drive)
Ken Stone's article: http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/partitioningtiger.html
It's sounding more like your trouble is with network sharing than format, if so have a look

Problem with daisy chaining HDDs and Time Machine

I have purchased 2 WD My Passport Studio FireWire 2TB HDDs which I have daisy chained to my MacBook Pro. One I have assigned to be the Time Machine backup the other as an additional data drive. Both are formatted for Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I setup Time Machine to backup both the internal and external drive. When I set it up everything looked OK in Time Machine Preferences, but the daisy chained data drive displayed on the desktop with the Time Machine backup logo and the backup drive displayed as a standard FireWire data drive. However the backup worked successfully and backed everything up to the correct backup drive.
I have since established the following:
1. If both drives are daisy chained and then plugged in, the data drive shows up with the backup icon and the backup drive shows as a data drive, but Time Machine backs up to the correct drive. This is the case regardless of what order the drives are daisy chained.
2. If the backup drive is plugged in on its own it shows up correctly with the backup drive icon. If the data drive is then daisy chained to the backup drive both drives show up as backup drives. Time Machine backs up to the correct backup drive.
3. If the data drive is plugged in on its own it shows up incorrectly as the backup drive. If the backup drive is then daisy chained to the data drive the backup drive shows as a normal FireWire data drive. But Time Machine still backs up to the correct drive. Exactly the same as case 1 but the drives have been daisy chained after connecting to the MacBook Pro and the result is the same.
4. However if the data drive is plugged in on its own, showing up as the backup drive, Time Machine backs up to the data drive incorrectly.
The first three points are just annoying as the drive icons do not display correctly, although it does indicate to me that Time Machine is confused. But what I don't like is the fact that I can't just use the external data drive without the backup drive being present.
How do I overcome this problem?

Launch Disk Utility and select one of the volumes in question. Click the Info button in the toolbar. In the Information window that opens, note the Universal Unique Identifier. Do the same with the other volume. Are the identifiers the same?

Problems with using 3tb drives in RAID 1

I'm using an MSi 870A-G54 mainboard
Without going into major specifics at this moment here is the basic scenario:
Added 2 new seagate baracuda 3tb drives in RAID 1 mode
Updated the bios (AMI) to 7.20
Updated windows 7 64 with the latest drivers.
Updated RAID Xpert to the lastest version
Everything worked. Added my data (movies and music), all was well with the world
Then, after a reboot windows no longer recognizes the drives, nor does RAID Xpert, however within the RAID config (BIOS) the drives are showing as being just fine and the RAID configuration is configured correctly.
Anyone have any idea how I can retrieve my data from these drives (most important) and get it working again (important, but less than just getting the data recovered)?
Thus far I haven't a clue what changed. There were no Windows, BIOS, configuration or other updates.
oh what fun it is!!!

Thanks for the info.. but...
The motherboard recognized the drives (after upgrading the BIOS to 17.20)
I managed to get it working (again!) last night. :-D
I had to do some major upgrading by way of AMD (upgraded RAID drivers, chipset drivers, and AMD RAID Xpert) that were not available via the MSi site, but are directly compatible with the chipset I'm using. .. or ... so far appear to be. Too early to tell.
So far, everything seems stable..
Odds are I tripped over something, or missed a step during the initial set-up, when I was figuring out what needed to be done to get the drives recognized by the MB, and then then the RAID, and then the OS.
Right now I'm backing up all my data and, after verfiying that each drive in fact contains data, I'm planning on breaking the mirror via RAID Xpert, then see if I need to break it as well via the RAID console (this would provide confirmation that the windows based utility in fact has, or has not, correct connectivity and control to the MB RAID config). Then, do a low-level format of the drives and start over. ....
By the way.. just so anyone reading this knows... the Live Update 5 utility is weak... very very weak. I pity the person that has minimal PC experience to try and figure out what it's doing (or not doing) and ... done..
I'll post the final results of this adventure when I finalize the entire setup in about a month. :-D

Problems with MBP - first HDD, then battery, now not powering on at all

My MBP is just over a year old (though I think the model itself may be from 2010; I bought it on clearance from a Best Buy).A couple of days ago it started behaving oddly - freezing constantly, then more and more to the point where I had to just shut it off. During one of these episodes, it came back with the flashing question mark folder. I chalked it up to the HDD failing and had Geek Squad replace it, though that in itself was an ordeal because the computer would not read any of the HDDs we tried. Finally found one it did read today, and I thought the problem was solved, until I brought it home.
The magsafe LED was green but not charging the battery. So I tried resetting the PRAM; nothing. Tried resetting the SMC and turned the computer back on. It came on (very slowly), and then turned off by itself. Now it's not booting on at all. For awhile the LED kept flashing between green and orange, now it's just green, but still will not turn on no matter what I do.
I don't really know what to do now. There isn't an Apple store near me, and the Geek Squad I took it to doesn't have an Apple section, either. I'm moving 18 hours away in 10 days, and I really need it working by then. But, I'm assuming the logic board is fried...

Figured so. I'm also wondering if it could be something as benign as the battery being dead? But considering all of this happened starting with the HDD, probably not. How much does a logic board replacement run, anyway?

New WM storage lcoation problems with 311 mvt.

We are working on new WM storage location. And I have a problem.
When do the confirmation (LT12) for a TO from new WM to a IM sto location (return to mfg line) the stor type 910 PRODUCTION is adding the stock.
I compared this vs an existing WM and when execute the LT12 for the TO the Stor Type 910 PRODUCTION was cleared.
I did a performance trace and I detected that for existing WM the system additional to LT12, it does the MB1B, so that reason the 910 PRODUCTION is cleared.
My question is why for new WM in system trace just show that was processed the LT12 and not the MB1B?
There was something I missed in configuration? or there is a user exit that perform that and needs to be updated to consider the new WM also? why existing WM calls MB1B internally and new WM not?

You probably have a job that executes the IM posting after a WM posting in the other system.
Usually you post first in IM, then in WM.
If you want it the other way around then oyu have to run a program RLEXIP01
do SE38 enter the program name, click execute to get to the selection screen, there click the blue info button to read the docu.
General docu about posting sequence can be found here:
