F6 Option SATA controller

Hello, I have 6 new 6427-CTO D10 I ordered them with Dos to save Money. Using the F6 option to load the SATA driver for XP Pro 64bit, There are about 10 controller drivers to choose from. None seem to work, the system hangs on Windows start up after the initial F6 is done and then blue screens.
Basic question I guess does anyone know what controler is used and or how to find out?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

welcome to the forum.
this thread may be of help. you can download the XP x64 intel SATA RAID controller driver from lenovo or intel. i would try the lenovo one first.
btw, you'll want to store the driver files in a specific folder and load them at boot using a USB flash drive. you can also try disabling AHCI in the BIOS and installing the driver later. it's up to you.
hope that helps.

K8T Neo-FIS2R - P20378 Sata Controller option missing in BIOS. Cannot disable

A few hairs left....& those are disappearing quickly.......!!!!
I currently have Windows XP PRo running under a Promise SATA Drive. (NO RAID REQUIRED)
In order to allow for a fallback situation (which I am still using swapping between WIN XP & Vista), I found a 20GB IDE Disk attached it to the standard IDE controller & did a clean install of VISTA ULTIMATE on the 20GB Drive...So Far so good.
Next I booted up changed the boot sequence to pickup the 20GB IDE drive first ...Vista Came up....Still so far so good.
Then I found my mouse ...& both USB printers were not recognised.....2 days later I have them all going okay....one problem at a time....
The only issue left ... I cannot see the SATA Drive attached to the promise controller.....I have tried following a few of suggested methods to load the promise drivers that are around......still no luck. Most of the posts I see are around installing VISTA on a SATA drive...my case is just seeing a SATA drive this not the O/S disk.
Moving on ...no luck with the Promise Drives ...so I have tried changing to the VIA Controller by unplugging the SATA cord from the Promise controller & plugging into the VIA Controller ... I boot up & still no luck...The BIOS picks up the VIA change as I see a option to use <TAB> to setup RAID during bootup.. I do not want RAID only a single SATA Drive. One of the things I read was to turn off Promise via the BIOS settings . The manual indicates I need to access this by going to the "Onboard PCI Controller option", here I should be able to turn off the P20378 S.ata Controller...
my problem is ...I can see only the Lan Controller as a option to disable/ enable the other options including the P20378 S.ata Controller.. are not visible.. hence I am unable to disable the Promise SATA Controller within the BIOS..... HELP pretty please..... I can happily run VISTA but I do not have 150GB visible to me & my current disk space is tight.....I need that 150GB ...........
signed...frustated NOOB
PS I have the most recent drivers/ bios etc according the MSI's Online S/W synch tool (which I run in XP Pro as the vista version fails.... DOH)
MB --> K8T NEO FISR2
Memory 1GB
Appreciate your help ..... TA

I agree with Hans, as far as we know there are no drivers for Vista to use the Promise controller, yet.
Same old, same old, Vista and no drivers.
You just have to wait and hope there wil be Vista drivers for the Promise controller.

SATA controller on K7N2G-ILSR "supports IDE"

I have a K7N2G-ILSR with the onboard Promise 20376 Serial ATA controller, which supposedly supports using the IDE3 port as a separate IDE channel to connect hard drives and CDRoms and whatnot. I have not been able to simply get the SATA controller to work with IDE. I have tried connecting a hard drive and optical drives. With the single hard drive, instead of simply booting like it should, it tells me that no array is defined and asks me to create one. Since I have data on the hard drive already and don't want to risk erasing it by "creating an array", I didn't push my luck. With optical drives, it is the same story, except that of course I can't create an array with an optical drive, even if I try (nor does the setup utility let me). I am also thinking about purchasing a SATA adaptor for the hard drive, but am afraid that it is going to ask me to create an array again (again, fear of losing data). So, how do I get the IDE3 port to work as advertised? And how would I get the SATA working in a non-RAID configuration?

They don't advertise that...
On-Board IDE
An IDE controller on the MCP2/MCP2-T chipset provides IDE
HDD/CDROM with PIO, Bus Master and Ultra DMA133/100/66
operation modes
Can connect up to four IDE devices
Serial ATA Interface (Optional)
Support 2 serial ATA plus 1 ATA133
- RAID O or 1 are supported
- RAID function works w/ATA133+SATA H/D or 2 SATA H/D
• Connect up to 2 Serial ATA devices and 1 ATA133 device
This is from the website, I don't see that they say you can use the SATA as regular IDE drives...they are part of the raid controller period...the misconception comes by thinking it's used like we use a regular IDE but you have to create an array as I said in order to use them...you can select one of the raid drives to use as a boot drive via the BIOS but you have to enable the drive in the raid setup before it's accessible thus creating a seemingly IDE device...I don't have any SATA drives here atm so wasn't able to test this part of the MB yet...and I've beat my board into submission now and have to RMA it from doing so much testing with it...if I do get another one I'll see about getting a SATA drive and see what it does when I load the drivers for the raid in a non-raid setup and post my results...I agree that they don't explain it well either but I've never thought the manuals were written the best for most boards out there since English isn't their first language...something gets lost in the interpretation unfortunately heheheh The raid doesn't support opticals at all so that's not an option here...
Hope that helps...

Sat P300-156: BSOD when SATA controller compatibility mode was chosen

Can someone tell me diferences between SATA controler in BIOS.
There are two options "AHCI" and "Compability".
First time i have option AHCI enabled.
Now i have the second because if i change the option on start windows i have Blue screen.

Hi
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is a open interface standard for SATA controller. It allows communicating with the SATA controller using a driver.
If the setting AHCI was chosen in the BIOS then the connected SATA HDDs will be addressed using the NCQ (Native Command Queuing).
If you want to know more details about NCQ, then google simply.
However, the AHCI must be chosen in the BIOS to ensure the properly working of SATA controller.

under device manager http://www.upload.ee/image/201820/device-maneger.JPG
how can i get scsi under boot menu?
I hope very much that somebody can help me.
sorry for bad english.

i was away from home and had no access to the internet

ot sure if you have tried installing using XP installer disc with Ctrl + F6 function to install the core drivers for the Raid card
i have done the first step of windows xp installation on the 1TB hard drive, but the second part can't done, because it don't boot from there. i put the controller drivers to the flopy and give F6 command.
Windows xp installer found nicely hard drive from sata controller.
I hope you mean the same.

you need usually to hit control plus a key to access it at bios boot time
read its manual
i search it,i haven't found it yet, when i bought it, it was not accompanied by

Marvell Sata controller is hotswap possible? or even on the Intel side

I have a Z68-GD65(G3)
I have tried just about everything I know to get the hotswap icon (add and remove button in lower right taskbar) to show in windows 7 x64,
No bios options on either sata controller (I have tried on the intel ones to turn it to hotswap on port 5 or 6 and nothing
I have disable write caching in the policy tab on the drive need some help
I would prefer to be able to use my esata port on the intel side so I dont have to deal with that marvel conroller at all but I will do whatever it takes
Shame on you MSI for not putting an ESATA port on the back of this board!
So you know, I have the Intel controller in raid, I have a SSD on port 1, DVD on port 5, my raid 0 array on port 3 and 4
and I want my Esata drive to be backing up my raid 0 drive for redundancy (I know its not perfect but for what I do weekly backups are acceptable)

I misnamed this the option I am looking for. It is called "Tiling". After some research I found out that this is one of the features that former Windows users miss the most when they come over to Mac. I will have to concur. I don't know why Mac has not added this simple feature.
However, there is a third part app that makes this possible - SizeUp by Irradiated Software. You can download it here - http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/productivity_tools/sizeup.html
There is a limited free version called Two up from the same developer.

Sata Controller Drivers - Help!

I've had to replace the hard drive and have a brand new 120GB Seagate SATA 7200RPM 8MB Cache, however i do not have any of the original floppy discs or driver discs for the motherboard.
I've been to both the Intel & MSI site and neither of which have any SATA COntroller drivers, i need them as i want to load Win XP Pro SP2 onto the SATA and its my only drive!!
Please someone help!

You don't need any SATA drivers for WinXP and that board. The board just makes Windows see 2 more IDE channels. But you have to configure it properly in the BIOS.
Use Native Mode to enable both IDE channels and both SATA channels.
BIOS>>Integrated Peripherals>>On-Chip IDE Config.
Set like below (taken from Maesus FAQ)
Quote
For Native Mode:
ATA Configuration: SATA Only or PATA only, depending on which you want to be the FIRST BOOT device! (In your case use SATA Only)
S-ATA Keep Enabled: Yes if you chose PATA only
P-ATA Keep Enabled: Yes if you chose SATA Only
PATA Channel Selection: Both
Combined Mode Operation: PATA First/SATA First, depending on which you want to act as 1st Channel.
S-ATA Ports Definition: - P0-1st/P1-2nd or P0-3rd/P1-4th, depending on which you want to act as Master. (Use the P0-1st/P1-2nd for your case)
Q: What is S-ATA Ports Definition?
There are two options: P0-1st/P1-2nd and P0-3rd/P1-4th. If you choose P0-1st/P1-2nd, your Port-0 S-ATA (SER-1) will become the 1st IDE Master, ie IDE-1 Master. and Port-1 S-ATA (SER-2) will become 2nd IDE Master. If you plan to boot with SATA HDD, it's recommended to set to P0-1st/P1-2nd. If you plan to boot with PATA HDD, it's recommended to set to P0-3rd/P1-4th.
Then save the Bios and re-boot back into BIOS.
Go to BIOS>>Advanced features>>Boot Device Select and make sure the new SATA drive is in the list and where you want it (most people put after the floppy & CD/DVD drives).
If the above doesn't work, try the same settings above with ATA Configuration set to "PATA Only".
Don't worry if some settings above are greyed out. Changing any options causes others to be unavailable in some cases. Again remember to check the "Boot Device Select" menu after changing the IDE Config menu.
Make sure you read the FAQ from the link I posted above. Lots of good info you needed there; specifically the section on HDD's.

K9A Platinum with PCI VIA 6421A SATA Controller

Hi everyone, I have a problem, I was using a VT6421A VIA Sata Controller with K9A Platinum FW 1.1 without any problems, I upgraded to 4 GB of RAM with Vista x64 then flashed the motherboard 1.7 firmware, mother recognizes full 4 GB of Ram. After upgrade firmware to 1.7, PCI VIA Sata controller doesn't recognizes both Pioneer 112D attached to it, before firmware update it was working perfectly.
I'm using RAID configuration in the motherboard, could be a problem betwen the motherboard's RAID and the VIA SATA Raid controller?
Since the upgrade to 1.7 firmware, POST doesn't show the VIA Controller menu with the attached devices, Windows Vista can see the card installed but no drives attached to it :(
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

Quote from: GrounDZero6 on 24-October-07, 03:55:41
Thanks for your reply, can you tell me how can I enable or disable memory remapping from the Setup?
Where can I find it in K9A Platinum? is something that looks like HW/SW Memory Mapping or how it's called that option?
Is it possible to get a screenshot of where i can change it??
Thanks a lot!
"can you tell me how can I enable or disable memory remapping from the Setup? is something that looks like HW/SW Memory Mapping or how it's called that option?"
Yes name of option is correct, but think its not available in BIOS if im correct.
Can you test with 2GB of memory only to see if the problem will be duplicated there too?

KT6V LSR (MS 7021) SATA controller card second opinion, please

I want to thank Fredrik Asenius for his reply to my previous post.
However, due to the fact that the purchase of a SATA controller card and two SATA2 hard disks will be handled, of necessity, at a distance of 800 kilometers (involving courier expenses), the technician of the store has requested that I ask for a second opinion from another expert in the forum. An error, therefore, could be very costly. (No offense of any kind intended to Fredrik Asenius)
My motherboard is the MSI KT6V LSR (MS 7021) Via KT600 Northbridge and Via 8237 Southbridge chipsets.
Both SATA connections are currently taken up by two SATA hard drives (no striping, nor mirroring in use). The rest of the installation consists of IDE CDRW and DVDRW drives, as well as an MSI Nvidia NX6200AX (256 RAM) AGP video card and a Soundblaster Live Value PCI audio card. The other four PCI slots are not occupied. The system also has 1.5 gigabytes of RAM and a 520-watt PSU. I am running Windows XP SP2 Professional.
My questions are the following:
(1) Since the two SATA connectors on my motherboard are occupied, if I wish to add another SATA device I will have to install a SATA controller card. Does the SATA controller card have to be SATA 1 or can I also use a SATA 2 controller card?
IMPORTANTLY, the technician questions whether the motherboard will accept a controller card adding more SATA devices. He says that you cannot add any more SATA devices to this motherboard. Is he correct?
(2) If it is possible to add more SATA devices using a controller card, since the chipset on the motherboard is Via the SATA controller software is also from Via. Does the SATA controller card also have to be one that uses the Via SATA RAID software? (In other words, are there compatibility issues? Can all this all work together?)
Once again, thanks for the help.

I have had a fair amount of experience with this kind of issue.
1. No, the add in card does not need to be SATA I, it can be SATA II. I recommend a SATA II card and SATA II drives. Putting SATA II drives on a SATA I controller can fail to work.
2. Is he wrong? Essentially, yes he is wrong. It depends on how literally you take his words. You can NOT add more SATA drives to the motherboard. You CAN add an add-in SATA card and then put the additional SATA drives on that new add-in card. The difference in wording the answer is critical.
You ask about the Via chipset on the motherboard and also on the add-in card. Actually, it is probably LESS likely that the add-in card will work if the chipsets are the same. The issue is the computer being able to differentiate between the two controllers. I had this very problem with a machine.
That computer had two add-in cards. Each was the same brand. The computer could not differentiate between the two cards and gave a hardware error. I replaced one of the cards with another brand and it works fine. The manufacturer suggested trying the cards in different PCI slots. I did not try that, I just got a new card because it was easier for me.
The add-in card does NOT need to support RAID, that is optional. If you do not want to use RAID, the card does not have to support it. If you do want to use RAID, obviously the card does need to support it. RAID is part hardware and part software so if the card supports it and you do not to set it up as RAID, that is fine.
One caution...If the add-in card has an external port that you want to use, be aware that there is something called e-SATA that might use an incompatable type of port connecter. I had a card with that connecter and I found that the cables are extremely expensive and also hard to find. Most external SATA connectors are the SATA I style that you are used to though.

Compaq Presario v6346ea: Which type of SATA controller?

I've recently bought an Intel X25-M/G2 Solid State Drive and was expecting read speeds of 200 MB/s on my Compaq Presario v6346ea notebook. Instead of that the maximum speed I get from CrystalDiskMark is 135 MB/s.
Now I'm suspecting the SATA controller of my notebook to not being able to handle the speeds of this Solid State Drive.
I've looked on HP's website to find out which type of SATA controller is used in my Compaq Presario v6346ea but can't find find any clear info on that subject.
From what I read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA there are 3 types:
SATA Revision 1.0 (SATA 1.5Gb/s, max 150 MB/s throughput minus overhead.)
SATA Revision 2.0 (SATA 3Gb/s, max 300 MB/s minus overhead.)
SATA Revision 3.0 (SATA 6Gb/s, max 600 MB/s and up minus overhead)
Does anybody know which type of SATA controller is used in this Compaq Presario v6346ea notebook?

Thank you for the additional info. I ran SISoft Snadra and found some interesting stuff. For instance, it IDed the chipset as a mcp78s not a mcp77. It also indicates that it can use DDR3 memory. I'm not sure if that's accurate, as it conflicts with specs I've read elsewhere. If true, I wish I'd known that when I upgraded my RAM to 8GB. :-p Anyway, I've tried to determine the SATA revision, but I'm not sure if I'm going about it the right way. I went to "Storage Devices" and clicked the only available button: "Physical Disks , Storage adapters and devices". From there I can choose my internal hard drive from a menu, and it shows the maximum SATA mode as G2 / SATA300. But I'm not sure if this is in reference to the controller or the drive. I know that the drive is a SATA-II, so it would show that if it's displaying the drive's capabilities. It certainly tells me everything else I'd ever want to know about the drive. When I switch to my external USB HDD, it shows the maximum SATA as G3 / SATA600. For the DVD drive it shows G1 / SATA150. So I kind of think it's showing me the maximum capabilities of the drives, not the controllers. Is there some other way to check the maximum SATA capabilities of the hard drive controller? Sorry. I'm not too familiar with SISoft Sandra, and it's not really obvious to me. And given what it's turned up about the chipset and the memory support, I want to be sure here. Thanks.

Addonics SATA Controller / KP Update

A while back I posted regarding the Addonics ADSA3GPX1-2EM SATA controller card causing an immediate KP whenever I powered on the attached "SataVault" 2 drive enclosure. I also have an EP2 card from Sonnet that I was going to try. However while reading the documentation, I noticed the statement that the card needed to be in a "1 lane" PCI slot. Checking using the Expansion Slot Utility revealed that the ADSA3GPX1-2EM was installed in an "8 lane" slot. So, before changing the card, I checked out the online documentation for the ADSA3GPX1-2EM and found that it too is a "single lane" card. I don't remember seeing anything about this in the installation instructions and it is pretty deeply burried in the documentation. At any rate, I moved the card to a slot indicated as being a "1 lane" slot and rebooted the computer. So far I have been able to power on the drive enclousure without getting a KP. I have done so several times now just to be sure and all seems good. I thought this might be a useful "heads up" for others with similar problems with PCI SATA controllers. I really don't completely understand this "lane" thing so if anyone wanted to shed some light.....

PS Do I remember reading somewhere that drives connected to a Sonnet E2P controller are not bootable?
That is correct. The Sonnet and the Addonics cards do NOT provide boot capability on the Mac Pro. The FirmTek 2-port SeriTek/2SE2-E SATA PCIe host adapter provides boot capability with the PCIe PowerMac G5 but not the Mac Pro.
The ONLY Mac Pro PCIe controllers that I have tested that provide boot capability are made by Areca. The ARC-1221x eight channel host adapter can boot the Mac Pro with RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10 or JBOD configurations.
AMUG installed the new Areca firmware that supports EFI booting and started up a RAID 6 eight drive boot drive on the Mac Pro. Xbench disk scores went through the roof
You can learn more about the ARC-1221x here:

Recommend a 4 way SATA controller card?

I am having huge problems of finding a SATA controller card that:
1. Can attach 4 discs
2. No raid (i will use ZFS)
3. supports NCQ
4. supports SATA II (i.e. 3Gbps)
If anyone know of a card that works, please post the model here, so I can buy it. Ive looked everywhere, but it seems that the SATA chipset that are supported, can only be found on motherboards, and not as standalone cards.

Ok, this card requires a PCI-X slot. It is therefore suited to server motherboards. I have heard that PCI-X will work with an ordinary PCI slot without problems. Can anyone confirm this?

Will SATA 11 HD work with sonnet SATA controller

Hi I need more space and have seen this on eBay
Will it work with my G4 Giga fitted with a Sonnet Serial ATA (it doesn't say whether or not on the box.)
I already have a Seagate 7200 3.5 500gb fitted and it works fine.
If my Sonnet is not compatible what is the biggest HD I can fit using the Sonnet SATA controler?
TIA

Hi-
The Sonnet SATA controller will support up to the current 1TB models.
Not sure about the "kit". The software that is included is most probably PC. And, there are no guarantees that the cables provided will work for you. Typically, a 270º connector is best for the data cable. Depending on the drive, some have "legacy" Molex power connectors, so the power cable wouldn't be necessary. And, as with the data cable, a 90º power cable would allow better fit when closing the door of the tower.
But, if the price is right, it could be cheaper than a bare drive alone, and you don't have to use the rest of the kit...
If it 's just the Seagate hard drive, the 7200.11 1TB will work. So will the Hitachi 7K1000 1TB drive. And, so will the Western Digital GP 1TB drive.
While no specific information that it is needed, the Seagate has a jumper to force 1.5Gb/s. The WD drive has a similar "Opti 1" jumper. The drives should auto negotiate to the lower transfer rate, so this should not be an issue with SATA II drives and the Sonnet.

Vantec PCIe SATA controller, Solaris x86

I've searched all the online resources I can find, and don't see an answer to this. Is there a driver for this SATA controller for Sol. x86, and if so, where would I find it?
Output of uname -X:
System = SunOS
Node = p810
Release = 5.10
KernelID = Generic_139556-08
Machine = i86pc
BusType = <unknown>
Serial = <unknown>
Users = <unknown>
OEM# = 0
Origin# = 1
NumCPU = 4
Card is a Vantec UGT-IS100R, you can see more about it here:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=V13-2602
PC is not COTS but homebuilt from various components. Motherboard is Asus M2N68-AM SE2. The card has one hard drive attached, a Western Digital Caviar, 1 TB. The card's a RAID controller, but with one disk it's obviously not doing any RAID stuff, and it recognizes the drive as a non-RAID device.
Boot drive is a 320 GB SATA connected directly to the motherboard (not to the Vantec). Windows 7, Slackware 12.2, and Solaris all installed just fine; Win7 and Slack recognize the Vantec and attached drive with no problems. Solaris seems to be working well in all other respects.
Thanks!
Phil

A little progress, and some more information.
1) I had downloaded Solaris 10 longer ago than I thought; I now have the latest-n-greatest (10/09). Output of uname -v is Generic_141445-09. This upgrade eliminated a message I was getting during boot with the older version:
ahci_port_reset port 1 the device hardware has been initialized and the power-up diagnostics failed
2) The Vantec card uses the JMicron 363 chip. After doing more web surfing, I found this thread relating to JMicron and OpenSolaris:
http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=376370
Essentially I'm getting the same results as the OP in that thread, except that prtconf already shows my card in AHCI mode. cfgadm -la shows the controller there; cfgadm -c configure results in "failed" status for the controller; and no matter what I can't get it to recognize the attached hard drive.
I don't want to upgrade the card's firmware; having that drive available under Solaris isn't as important as having the card and drive work under Win7 and Slackware, so if I just have to live without it I will. So ... any other ideas? Thanks!
Phil

HT6400 10.9.5 update defected my MacBookPro8,1 SATA controller

Dear all,
I have a MacBookPro8,1 with an Sandisk 256G Ultra SSD instead the HDD (the HDD is moved to the DVD bay).
It worked nice for a half a year, but after this update on friday I could not access the SSD. DiskUtility sees only the HDD.
SSD via external USB case is ok. Other HDD cannot be detected neither by the builtin controlled.
I already tried all resets SMC & co. and I also checked that the firmware (SSD, boot ROM and SMC) are up to date.
The funny thing is that the second SATA controller channel is working nicely with the original HDD.
Any ideas are welcome? What else can it be rather than a bug in the new apple firmware?
