AppleRAID and G-Tech SATA drives disconnecting

Hi
We're working with a 2 x 2.66GHz MacPro, 2GB RAM, digitising HD material with Final Cut Studio 2, onto a G-Tech SATA drive (two external drives in an enclosure, striped with Apple RAID). The drives will disconnect about three times a day, which throws a spanner in the digitizing. If I power the drives down and then back on, it reconnects. I've swapped the cables, moved the SATA card so that there's a gap between it and the Kona capture card, and the problem persists. Here's what I see in the system log:
AppleRAID::completeRAIDRequest - error 0xe00002ca detected for set "G-SATA" (3A92F239-1E61-4402-A49C-7E02E599859E), member BC894A87-BFB0-4E6D-915E-80DCE942F668, set byte offset = 278947631104.

Does anyone know if this looks like a hardware error (the drives themselves, the cables or SATA card), or something wrong with AppleRAID (ie, would switching to SoftRAID help?) Even though a restart of the drives fixes it, I'm concerned that we may ultimately lose our expensive HD data.
Thanks!

Is the G-SATA from G-Tech the product you are having trouble with? Is this the link?
http://www.g-technology.com/Products/G-SATA.cfm
The picture of the card is small but it looks like a 2-port Silicon Image SiI-3132 card. If the card is based on the SiI-3132 design, the latest version 1.1.9 Mac driver can be found here:
http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=32&cid=3&ctid= 2&osid=3&
These 2 port cards works well with individual drives but when used with RAID sets they are limited to approx. 115MB/sec read and write performance. All of the PCIe Macintosh four port host adapters provide superior performance. These include the following controllers:

Initramfs and blocking some sata drive detection

Would it be feasible/possible to tell the initramfs to ignore everything but my root filesystem?
When I load, before rc.sysinit takes over, I see a LOT of text, mostly because I've got 5 harddrives and 3 usb devices hooked up to the comp. Is there any way to shorten that part seeing as how I don't need to access any of the other harddrives that early in the boot process? Thanks.

You can remove try to remove the usb modules by getting rid of any 'usb..' hook in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. However, you *need* sata driver for your main harddrive, and once it gets loaded the kernel will detect all the remaining sata drivers as well. What you can try though is to pass 'fastboot' parameter to the kernel - that might cause the kernel to detect the driver in parallel - so shortening the time needed to detect them. [However this might cause that the init will proceed before your root harddrive is detected, resulting in a problem that it will try to mount a nonexistent drive and fail.]

RS480M2-IL Problems with SATA Drives.

I work at an Official AMD Service Center and we build Custom AMD64 Systems. The IDE Boot Delay was removed from the latest BIOS update. Thanks to this, SATA drives are having problems booting up. SATA Drives are taking too long to spool up, so the system moves on to the next Device on the bootup priority list. (One customer was booting up from a external USB 2.0 Drive or CD-Rom Drive (Not bootable media). If we disable everything but the Hard Drive from the selection, sometimes we get a Stop after Post Error We build systems with the SATA drives due to them supposedly being faster. Should we switch to IDE drives for the boot drives, or is there a fix for this problem. Please let me know and send an email to [email protected] . Thank You.

I'm experiancing the same problem with this board. I purchased back in february and tired a SATA drive then and it was slower then molassas in the snow. I thought is was a windows issue. I bought the board for Linux and loaded Fedora 3 and Fedora 4-64 on a PATA drive and have had it running almost flawlessly ever since. The main problem has been the reboot freeze that is reported all over the web.
I put a SATA drive back into this system as a dual boot, loaded Win2k and once again slooooooow. Download all the latest drivers, tried again, same thing.
Today it freezes on the boot screen, still loades my Linux no problem and runs Folding@Home 24/7 no problem.
Ok, Flash bios from CD built on WinXP - No problem goes well.
Reboot problem seems better but now it won't reboot from linux, have to hit reset
Voltage controls for fans no longer available Still no controls for raising frontside bus
Still won't recognize the drive. Put drive in K7NF Delta, Boots fine (complains about drivers but expected). Drive is OK feew.
Rebooted Linux from PATA and system is fine.

Can't load XP onto SATA drive

I have a problem with a new system I am putting together. The MB and HD are new and I do not suspect either of them to be the problem. I formated the HD with Maxtor's program and it seems to go fine. I can load the 6 floppies and start the CD for XP. The HD appears in the boot sequence. I can not find anything in the BIOS that suggests it supports SATA, even though I looked everywere. When I try to load XP it goes OK until it asks where you want to do the installation and at that point it suggests there is no HD. This is the only HD in the system. Any suggestions would be appreciated because MSI support is closed for the weekend and I want to work on this over the weekend.

Tried another SATA disk and it does not show in My Computer or Windows Explorer either. I know the new disk is good because I took it out of another working computer. One thing though, I did not install any of the critical updates, so I assume it does not even have SP1, does that matter?
Back to the BIOS question. One of the above replies suggested making some changes to the BIOS and those options are not there. I tried the key combinations and they did not bring up new menu options either. How much effect does the BIOS have on the SATA drive? Does it need the update to make it SATA compatable as far as the options? Sorry to be such a bother, but this is my first experience using the SATA that gave me a problem. I put togther a system for my wife and used a SATA drive and everything was seamless.
ensure you have running XP with SP2. and sis chipset drivers are installed.

yes they can be crucial.

Do I need to install drivers for a sata drive?

I have K7N2 Delta2-LSR and it came with a sata raid driver floppy disk. Mine is just a single drive on which I want to install Windows. I read some where that it is not needed during windows installation unless I want to setup a raid system. Is this correct? My sata drive shows up under the external device icon, the small green arrow icon on the system tray. Is it suppose to be like that or is it because I did not install the sata drivers during windows installation? Any advice please?

What brand and model of SATA drive are you using? I had two other posts on this issue because one model of Maxtor drive that I tried works fine and another model does not work at all.
My configuration is like yours, I currently only have one SATA hard drive connected to this machine. There are multiple PATA drives on the machine and they all work fine together.
Seeing your post made me do more research on my motherboard. Until now, I thought the SATA controller on this board was not capable of RAID. I know know it is, thank you silverferro and Stu

Can Any SATA Drive (including SATA 1 drives) be Used on MacPro?

Can one install and use any SATA drive (including a SATA 1) drive on a Mac Pro?
I am thinking about using a WD Caviar SE16 but it would appear to be a SATA 1 drive (1.5 GB/s drive).
Do all SATA drives have the same connector (that is compatible with the mating connector inside the MacPro)?
Rob

While SATA II drives should provide generally better performance any SATA drive will work in a Mac Pro.

[Athlon64] CAN'T SEE SINGLE SATA DRIVE / K8T NEO no Promise controller

I have a K8t NEO -the cheapskate version with no PROMISE SATA controller or on-board Firewire
I have been running on XP SP2 on 2 IDE drives, everything is ok. I added a SINGLE SATA drive and turned the VIA SATA controller on in BIOS. I did the MSI Live Update and have the latest VIA SATA driver, latest chipset, latest BIOS, latest EVERYTHING. At boot, the VIA SATA controller reports my Hitachi SATA as Channel 0 Primary" in the SATA devices table. Going into the SATA RAID menu it tells me "You can't make RAID with just one drive" which is true, of course. But the point is the controller SEES the drive.
I've run MSI Live Update and have the latest BIOS, latest SATA XP driver, latest EVERYTHING.
Windows XP doesn't see the SATA drive.
In XP I see a VIA RAID CONTROLLER in Hardware / Device Manager which is DISABLED. When I right-click then click ENABLE on the VIA RAID CONTROLLER the machine reboots immediately. I tried safe mode, same thing. I tried BIOS settings of "No PNP O/S Installed" and "Yes PNP O/S Installed" and reset the NVRAM. No change.
I think there must be an IRQ conflict.... I have a sound card (on-board sound is turned OFF in BIOS) and AGP video card, and that's it- no WiFi NIC or anything else to eat up IRQ resources. I use the Realtek on-board ethernet.
I tried my Windows 98 partition and that booted, detected the new hardware (VIA SATA) and I installed the driver from the MSI CD and Win 98 is happy with the SATA drive..... it sees the drive just fine.
How do I make Windows XP see the SATA drive?

Have you tried starting XP with CD and entering recovery, log on as admin and see if SATA drive is there? Remember to "F6" with a floppy drive of SATA drivers for
-XP-... I'm assuming you already have as you said all is uptodate. When the boot BIOS for the VIA SATA apprears and you press "TAB" I believe it is, you can mess with the SATA functions. Sorry if does not apply to your compy or you've already done all this.... BTW you CAN run a RAID array with one HDD, at least thats what I did on my Promise controller.
In my Device Manager under Disk drives it looks like this (notes bracketed are noting position):
Promise 1+0 Stripe/RAID0 SCSI Disk Device (Bus Number 0, Target ID 1, LUN 0 (G:\ 1-160GB IDE Seagate/notice ONE drive)
Promise 2+0 Stripe/RAID0 SCSI Disk Device (Bus Number 0, Target ID 0, LUN 0) (F:\ 2x200 SATA)
ST3160023A (Location 1 (1) VIA IDE D:\)
VIA SATA RAID 0 SCSI Disk Device (Bus Number 0, Target ID 0, LUN 0) (E:\ 2x120 SATA)
WDC WD800JB-00CRA1 (Location 0 (0) VIA IDE C:\)
Under the boards BIOS, is the SATA drive listed under the BOOT table??? In my system it lists the above 5 partitions (7 HDD's total), floppy, 2 CD/DVD drives, etc...
Oh also in Device Manager IS the VIA SATA controller appearing in the "SCSI and RAID controllers" tab??? I have set mine to just SATA before and of course now it says "VIA SATA RAID Controller"... for you it should read "VIA SATA Controller". Remember there are 2 different drivers for the SATA controller, one for SATA and one for SATA RAID. Look on your floppy disk or if you saved out the updated driver. I made a new floppy with the latest XP drivers. When booting from WINXP CD, and promted for "F6" and press it, later it will show you TWO different drivers after reading the floppy disk for XP. You obviously want the non RAID driver... hope that helps somewhat... g'luck

Will a Maxtor DiamondMax 11 SATA drive work in a G4?

I'm torn between a couple of Maxtor internal drives to add to my G4 (Mirrored Doors) and for the sake of futureproofing I thought I'd better go for the DiamondMax 11 Drive (500GB) which looks to be very good.
However I'm having a lot of problems trying to find if there will be any compatability issues with my G4.
Can anyone help?

Hi, Mark -
Both of the internal hard drive buses on a G4 (MDD) model are ATA. An SATA drive will not work on them.
However, you can add an SATA PCI controller card, and connect the SATA drive to it.

K9A2 Platinum nightmares - recognizing SATA drives

I'm trying to build a new system
Have a SATA drive that isn't being recognized on attempting to load Windows Vista Ultimate 64Bit
Do I need to load a SATA driver - if so - can anyone post the link please??
Does it have to be put onto a floppy???
Cheers

PS I have back-pedalled from setting up a 4 disk SATA array in RAID1+0..... will this be an issue....?
Maybe trying to run before I could walk....
If I can get it running on 1 drive I'll try that configuration.....

No - I haven't managed to install Vista Ultimate 64bit yet - but I'm determined I will - so please keep going with the help and suggestions!!!
It's a completely new build - every component is new
The box that the motherboard in did worry me slightly - it had a quick guide for the wrong motherboard...... so I'm hoping the supplier hasn't resent out a board returned as faulty......... there are some less than perfect suppliers out there
I have 4 brand new SATA drives (1TB)
Initially tried to set up as a SATA RAID 1+0 - only occasionally would the drives be recognized whilst trying to install
(And thought perhaps I was trying to run before I could walk - not tried any form of RAID before, and not used Vista before)
So then tried to set up on 1 SATA drive, all others not connected
And I tried this several different SATA ports - and several different SATA drives, including both the Promise and the SB600 ports
Then tried to set up on a brand new IDE drive (500GB) with Vista Ultimate
Then gave up on Vista - to see if it would load XP....
So I am trying to install XP on the same brand new IDE drive.... and I'm now in the interminable wait for the drive to format the partition
Forgot how long that was with XP and IDE (especially on a large drive)
Installing Vista I get blue screens of death at numerous points in the install process - and I think I've seen every possible BSOD message now
So I am beginning to think it's a motherboard problem...
>:(
Will let you know if XP installs
Or not
If it does, is it easy to install Vista over the top??
Cheers for the help
Jim

Question about using a SATA drive through an Epress34 card???

I have a basic question about OSX and how it treats a SATA drive hung from an Express34 SATA card. So OSX just treats any drive as a mounted drive as far as I know bbut what about when booting...
If, at boot up, I use the 'cmd C' option to select an external SATA dirve hanging off of an Express34 SATA card, will OSX see that drive as if it just were the internal drive in the MBP or is there some inherant difference between the real internal drive and any other SATA drive?
I guess the question is... does the cmd C option really just tell the OS to treat this drive as though it were the interal drive and boot from it (assuming the drive is bootable of course) or is ot doing something else.
If that is the case, why can't I use an external drive and install BootCamp on it, assumiong that I booted from this drive?
Is there a difference between an external SATA drive from an Express34 card and an external firewire drive?
TIA,
Peter

925XE SATA Drives

Still not sure why I cant see my 2 SATA drives from within WinXP.
I have my cdrom and dvdrom set up on IDE-1 as master and slave respectively.....they work fine and I can see them when I click on "My Computer"
I have my OS PATA drive set upon IDE-2...XP is installed on this and this works fine and I can "see" it when I click on "My Computer"
I have 2 SATA drives plugged into SATA-1 and SATA-2 respectively. I simply want these to operate as two individual drives. One for applications and the other for data. But I am unable to "see" them from within "My Computer".
In BIOS I have the following.
Standard CMOS Features I see that Primary IDE MAster And Primary IDE Slave are my optical drives.
My SATA drives are on Third IDE Master and Fourth IDE Master respectively.
Cant see my OS drive that is physically plugged into IDE-2 and does work as XP is installed on it.
Integrated Peripherals>IDE Devices Configeration>PCI IDE BusMaster=Enabled
Integrated Peripherals>IDE Devices Configeration>On-Chip Primary PCI IDE=Enabled
Integrated Peripherals>SATA Devices Configeration>SATA Mode=IDE
Integrated Peripherals>SATA Devices Configeration>On-Chip Serial ATA=Enhanced Mode
How do I get to see and use these SATA drives?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the idea....Your right I have not formatted them, Doh!.....But they are not visible in Computer Management>Disk Management.....
Only my C: drive and 2 Optical drives are visible......
Update, had to go back and install xp again, this time they were visible during installation and I gave them partitions...

Solved - settings to get SATA drive recognised

Have a K7N2 Delta series board for AMD processors and connected a sata hard drive to the board into the SATA 2. The computer will not recognize the drive. I am guessing I have to change a setting in the cmos on boot up but not sure what to do. Running win XP. Can you give me an idea what settings need to be?
Thanks very much.

ok, I need to explain better.
I have right now two drives in computer that are connected IDE and are master slave set up and run great on the computer. I have two more internal drives not hooked up to computer and I wanted to use one of them in the computer as extra storage and both are SATA drives. So I want to connect one of the two I listed to the SATA connection 1 on the motherboard. When I tried with both extra drives, I did not get either recognized by computer. Both the extra drives are Western Digital and SATA drives. I only want to use one of them, but felt I better list them both just in case you thought one or the other might not work with the board. One is faster then the other and would prefer using it. I guess I need to know the jumper settings for the SATA Hard drive I want to plug into the SATA plug on the board and if putting a jumper setting on the sata drive is necessary and also do I have to make any changes in the cmos settings (the settings you get to when you hit delete on the keyboard before the computer boots up with windows) to make the computer recognize the SATA drive or with a jumper setting should the computer just do this on its own? I am giving examples of things because this is the way I see them so please don't take offense. I could be wrong in their function. I hope this explains better. Thanks.

No SATA drive after booting into Windows (BootCamp 5.0)

One of my DVD burners has failed in one of my 2008 Apple Mac Pro's. I pulled the drive out (it was PATA/IDE) and replaced with a new LG WH14NS40 Blu-Ray Burner. I had to pull the fan out (temporarily) and run a new 24" SATA cable (with right-angle connector) from one of the two extra SATA ports (on the motherboard) to the new actual SATA drive, and also install a MOLEX to SATA power connector.
I managed to get the drive installed (and working). I now at least have a Blu-Ray burner in my 2008 Apple Mac Pro (with OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion).
The problem seems to be with when I boot directly into Windows 8. When I boot into Windows 8, the two ports on the motherboard are disabled and the latest BootCamp 5.0 drivers don't seem to support the two SATA ports on the motherboard (they seem to be disabled). So when I boot directly into Windows, my LG WH14NS40 Blu-Ray drive disappears.
I really wish Apple would have just "done things right" from the very beginning and took the time to write decent BootCamp 5.0 drivers that supported the two SATA ports on the motherboard, so that users who need to replace their old/dying/aging PATA drives could easily replace them with SATA drives and use the two SATA ports on the motherboard.
Also it would have been nice if Apple would have taken the time to write good BootCamp 5 drivers (for Windows 8) that support booting from the two SATA ports on the 2008 Apple Mac Pro motherboard.
I've heard of many people that have tried installing RAID Controller Cards (from OWC) in their 2008 Apple Mac Pro to upgrade their four hard drive caddys from SATA II (3Gbps) to SATA III (6Gbps) but unfortunately the RAID Controller Cards don't seem to be bootable and the only option is to install a fifth (bootable) hard drive into the Apple Mac Pro and this is normally done by installing a bootable SSD drive into one of the DVD-drive bays. Unfortunately if you use a SATA SSD drive (which most SSD's are SATA) and then use one of the two SATA ports on the motherboard to connect it, then you go back to having the problem of not having a boot drive when you boot directly into Windows 8 (since there are no BootCamp 5 drivers for the 2008 Apple Mac Pro that support the two SATA ports on the 2008 Apple Mac Pro motherboard).
This seems to be a never-ending problem, and we have twelve 2008 Apple Mac Pro's (along with an office full of 2008/2009/2010/2013 Apple Mac Pro's) and we're getting extremely frustrated with Apple's lack of support in BootCamp 5.0 drivers for the 2008 Apple Mac Pro (and the two SATA ports on the mainboard).
Please fix this problem, and please update the BootCamp 5.0/5.1 drivers (for 2008 Apple Mac Pro users) and please support the two SATA ports on the Apple Mac Pro mainboard, and please make those two SATA ports on the motherboard bootable and usable in both Microsoft Windows 8 and in OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion. Please update the BootCamp 5.0 drivers to support the two onboard SATA ports in Windows 8 (so that my Blu-Ray burner is viewable/usable in Windows 8).

Just as a follow-up, yes it does seem to be possible to get both SATA ports on a 2008 Apple Mac Pro working (in Windows 8).
You need to enable AHCI in Windows 8.
First boot into Windows 8 and then go into the windows registry (regedit) and enable AHCI in your registry.
You can do this by going to the following registry key:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci
Set the "Start" Value data to "0" (to enable AHCI in Windows).
After AHCI is enabled in Windows, then reboot your computer and now the SATA drive (connected to the ODD port) should appear in Windows (under devices).
Now the next step is to update your AHCI drivers (in Windows) to the latest Intel drivers, so that your SATA device will actually work (and work properly).
The latest Intel RST drivers can be found here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=2306 0&ProductFamily=Software+Products&ProductLine=Chipset+Software&ProductProduct=In tel%C2%AE+Rapid+Storage+Technology+(Intel%C2%AE+RST)&lang=eng
Download the 64-bit drivers (if you are running 64-bit Windows).
After you install the latest drivers, and perform a reboot, your SATA drive should now work under windows.
You can find a long detailed thread about enabling AHCI (in Windows 7) here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=760482
The thread listed above is a bit old/dated (2009?) but it does give detailed step-by-step instructions for those that want to enable AHCI (and get those two onboard SATA ports working in Windows 8 or Windows 7).
I managed to get everything working in Windows 8, and I was able to enable AHCI in Windows 8, installed the latest AHCI drivers and I'm now able to use my SATA Blu-Ray burner in my 2008 Apple Mac Pro.
Hope this helps!

Satellite P300D-13N and XP Installation Issues (Sata-Driver)

Hi,
I have some issues with my XP-Downgrade.
I already tried integrating the Intel Storage Manager drivers into my XP-CD but unfortunately it didn't work.
Probably because i've been integrating ALL drivers, that were available and not just the one that should work for my chipset.
Anyway, in one of the threads in this forum there is a link to [THIS How To|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm] and I think I found my problem...
[Here|http://s5.directupload.net/images/080904/2eptrpzs.jpg] is a screenshot of my device manager (sorry for it being in german) of the pre-installed Vista.
As you can see, there is no information about the controller-Version.
So my question is, WHAT chipset is built into my laptop, because due to the fact that the Intel drivers do not work AND there is no information about any Intel Drive-Controller, I have no idea, which drivers i have to integrate into the XP-CD to get my XP-Installation to work. :(
Help :(
Thank you
Laptop: Satellite P300D-13N PSPDCE

Of course... I didn't want to bore you with the details... but I can do that ;)
I couldn't find any Chipset drivers on amd.com OR the toshiba website so I googled for the chipset and found [This Driver|http://eu.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=883&CategoryID=1&Deta ilName=Driver&MenuID=123&LanID=4] on the ECS-Elitegroup website.
I don't know why AMD doesn't upload this driver on their website, because I don't think I am the only one, who needed this SATA-Driver... ;)
Anyway, with the chipset-driver on my HDD, I created an XP-BootCD. I didn't know which driver (there are 3 or so in the package you can download on the ECS-Website), so I put *all* of them in the CD, which worked just fine. I think the *ahcix86.inf* in *\1_chipset_XP3264\XP3264\RAID7xx\x86\ i* is the important file for WinXP to load, but I'm not sure...
PS: The original catalyst drivers from ati.com do NOT work but the ones you can find [here|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU] work fine ;) Just telling you so you don't try 3 different versions from ati.com before you try the toshiba-drivers... like i did :D
