Ide scsi and sata?

are these the only types of harddisk that can be buoght today?
just curious. is sata faster than scsi??
thanks

You can also purchase FibreChannel drives. They cost an arm and a leg. With a FC router, you can plug the HDD straight into the router, and access it via any other FC enabled device.
Also, SCSI's are currently fastest out of IDE, SATA, and SCSI. 15K rpm SCSI's will do Burst speeds of ~60MB/s, whereas WD Raptors will only do Continuous speeds of ~60MB/s (burst ~22MB/s).

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.

K9A2 CF IDE / PATA and SATA issue where IDE is master boot

Hi everyone,
I have built myself a pc using the K9A2-CF mboard and had trouble installing any OS on my SATA HDD. Both windows and linux installers said the drive was locked and i couldn't install anything into the partition. (I have a lot of data on this drive that I want to keep.) I couldn't even edit the partitions on the sata drive unless i deleted the master partition.
i bought a cheap 2nd hand PATA IDE disk, which i then installed winxp sp2 onto. (after some trouble as both drives were 'locked' meaning i had to delete and recreate the IDE partition) this eventually worked (IDE MASTER & Nbr1boot sequence). I even got my SATA drive working from windows.
This worked fine, but i switched off the PC and next day found it wouldn't work as the bios couldn't find the IDE drive anymore (takes a few mins to not find it too).
When I removed the SATA disk it worked ok. then when i reinstalled the sata disk it might work but then after a cold boot it doesn't. Any ideas?
I'm pretty sure that if i reformatted the sata drive then it would work. I wish i spent an extra tenner on a second sata. is there anyway the ide boot disk and sata storage disk can play together? i updated the bios to 1.5, played with ide jumpers. I even tried using a SATA to IDE connector that i used on my old PC but all it did was to display what looked like a graphics card code on it. (...GDDR4)
thanks in advance,
Colly

ok guys i'm sold on the psu. i do remember at one stage when playing around with settings and connections that the graphics card wouldn't send anything to screen. my tv card is stuttering too so it may well be psu reated (athough that could be the s/w).
Fredrik, I can't find your guide, can you post the link please?
I'm out of the dabs 7day warranty but if i buy another psu from them then maybe they'll take it back. ok then with my h/w spec:

...and considering i will at some stage put a phenom in there (and i gotta make use of that memory speed someday ), what psu should I buy? I've noticed that it's not really the wattage that matters but the amps down the rails? this is a budget pc btw so i've got about £45 to spend - or is that not enough?
thanks for your help - much appreciated!

K8N Neo2 Plat IDE and SATA problems

Last night I was able to install XP onto a Raid 0 set up with 2x36 GB Raptors. (These were on Sata3/4 as I had heard about oc problems with the other Sata ports). No other drives were installed. After installing XP I decided to shut down and add a 40 gb IDE drive that had several things I needed (like programs!) and also installed another Sata drive, this time it was on Sata 2.
(I did discover that the system will not boot if there are drives on IDE2 (optical drives) while IDE1 is empty... so moved the optical drives to IDE1)
After installing the two extra drives I booted up. Fine. But when I went to change a display setting, got BSOD.
So went back and tried again to setup the Raid 0 and install XP. Even without the extra drives, no luck.
After third attempt, I gave up on Raid and just installed XP onto one of the Raptors that was on either Sata 3 or 4. No other HD's installed. It worked.
Then went back and tried to stick that 40gb IDE in and the 80gb Sata.
Ack! No boot and got a hal.dll error. Googled that and I guess it has some sort of virus or whatever. Figures. Okay. Disconnect both the 40 and 80 and it boots.
This time tried just with the SATA 80 (in addition to boot drives). No luck. Get an error saying that it can't find boot drive or something like that.
Next tried to move the Sata cables around, putting the true boot drive onto Sata1. Of course it didn't work and NOW (after putting the cables back the way they were for the boot drive i.e. Sata3/4 (not sure which) the system will not boot at all giving the "no system disk" error.
If I had hair to pull out it would be gone.
When looking into the BIOS I see that the 2 36gb Rap's are on IDE channel 5 and 6.
I don't know what BIOS I am running.
Is there some sort of "priority" that XP assigns to various IDE channels? Sata ports? At this point I could care less about overclocking, so am thinking of putting the 2 36gb Rap's on Sata 1/2 and starting from scratch trying to install XP on Raid 0 (yes, I installed the Raid drivers from a floppy). Shouldn't that work? I might end up just using the 80 gb SATA drive as the boot drive and not using the Raptors.
Someone please save me!

Be interested how stable your raid setup stays? See my post https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=94536.new#new
Been driving me crazy. System stays stable, now I've ditched raid, as long as the other Raptor doesn't have XP on it. It seemed that XP was seeing two disks instead of one at close down when I had raid installed and writing to just one - very weird - which blew the array. Never had these problems with Promise Sata Raid. I suspect, like many others, that NV have a driver problem.
You know... you didn't really HAVE to share this info with me!!
Let's hope it stays stable. If not, then I will get a different Raid controller.
Along with backing up my data on that array as soon as I can!

P965 platinum ide and sata problems

in bios om my mb it says that i have ide not sata >:(.
and i cannot see my cd-rom as an ide.
i have tried to update bios but it didnt work i tried liveupdate and usb stick.
when i set my mb to ahci function on my sata config, windows dosent find the disk in the os installation. and my computer cannot load windows.
in windows something is wrong with the cd-rom when i use it my computer is going slowly.
i think this problem is caused by the jbmicron software.
anybody who can help me with this problem??
Specs:

xfx geforce 7900gt
wd raptor 10000rpm 74gb
seagate 160gb sata2
thermaltake pure power 460w

Would much appreciate some help if anyone is familiar with this issue!
I'm having a very difficult time getting the the 965 Platinum to recognize my IDE devices, and I don't know why. I've got a Sony DRU-500A DVD burner in the master position, and a Maxtor 6L300R0 hard drive in the slave position. The jumpers on those devices are appropriate for their position. The devices are "usuable", that is, I've been able to run the Windows XP installer (up to a point) and writes have occured to my hard drive, but the installation fails after the portion where you reboot after all the files have been written from the install disk.
In any case, the Standard CMOS screen simply never shows any devices detected on either the IDE Primary Master or Slave entries. I've tried disconnecting the DVD drive and just connecting the Hard Drive as master instead with no improvment. I've also tried disabling the SATA configurations, toggling PCI IDE Busmastering. Nothing works.
I've never been able to boot into Windows.
There was a point where the JMicron Raid menu showed this drive as a raid drive for reasons that aren't clear to me (the drive may have been a raid drive in the past). I've set the drive back to non-raid, rebooted back into my old system and everything checks out. No problems at all, so I think that there are any RAID issues.
I'm not a pro at building systems, so there could be user error anywhere alonog the way.
Any ideas? I'm bamboozled!

IDE/SCSI Problems with Neo 4 Platinum/Sli

I am routinely getting Event 11 and Event 9 errors in my event viewer which are basically "The controller detected an error on device " then lists a controller and a harddrive. I never got errors like this on my old rig (an Asus A7Pro Motherboard) and I'm using many of the same components. I get controller errors on my Adaptec Card/HDD which is very odd since I'd imagine they were totally separate from the nVidia or Silicon Image SATA/IDE on the board.
New Rig:
MSI Neo4 Platinum/SLI
Athlon 64 3500+
Thermaltake K8 SilentOrb
1 GB (Dual Channel 512MB DDR) Kingson Hyper-X
1 BFG 6800GT OC (PCI-E) (with an Artic Cooling NVSilencer rev2)
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz (although I may change to the onboard 24bit SB Live)
Adaptec 29160 PCI Ultra 160 Controller
Belkin 54G Wireless Adapter
Pioneer SCSI II slot load DVD-ROM drive
Toshiba SCSI II CD-R/CD-RW drive
500+ Watts Vantec Stealth PSU (with good voltages on all rails)
74GB Western Digital Raptor (SATA connected to Slot 4 - nVidia SATA channel, no RAID)
80GB Western Digital 8MB RAM, Special Edition UDMA 4 IDE HDD
36GB Seagate Ultra2 Cheetah
Old Rig had the WD IDE drive, the SCSI card and dvd/cd drives, the sound card, and the wireless card.
I originally had a 40GB IDE Maxtor drive (which I replaced with the Digital Raptor) but it had all sorts of event 11 and 9 errors and exhibited slow IDE performance and even created conflicts with the WD IDE Drive outside of windows. I had problems running the WD diagnostsics software (runs in DOS) when the Maxtor drive was set to primary master on either of the two IDE channels.
What I'm wondering is if there is a BIOS upgrade or Driver release or anything that fixes these problems for people. I'm using BIOS 3.1 (when I upgraded to Bios 3.4, my computer would BSOD in normal and safe modes, and I didn't feel like reinstalling Windows, so I downgraded back to 3.1) The nVidia IDE drivers (6.53) caused massive problems with my drives (event 11 and 9 and endless lockups with the IDE light remaining on, requiring cold boots) so I ditched them for the windows default drivers.
I'm curious if people have checked out their own event viewer (Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Event Viewer->System for all you non-power users) and checked out the errors listed there.
The only other stability problem sI've noticed is when playing Half Life 2 in 1280X1024 resolution (1024X768 didn't have the problem) would cause complete crash of the machine. Monitor would lose signal and a cold boot was required... reset button didn't fix the problem. I figured this might be a cooling issue so I checked temps and they were fine. Then I figured it may be a power problem so I upgraded to the Vantec Stealth PSU (from my Antec 380W SilentPower) I haven't tested HL2 extensively since, so I'm not sure if this problem has gone away. The other problem occurs when trying to rip a CD in iTunes with "cd error checking on" System totally stalls out and a cold boot is required to get the SCSI happy again. If I rip using error checking off, things seem to work, however I get a problem sometimes where a track will suddenly squeel and crack in the middle and then the remainder of the song will be the first track on the album. The next track in the sequence will have a half second blip of the previous track on it, essentially meaning that two tracks are "broken rips" Ripping in AudioGrabber with ASPI doesn't seem to exhibit these problems.
Any similar experiences or sollutions/advice would be greatly appreciated.

It's been fixed for the Neo2. I am using a modded version called 1C3 EasyBios [rev.2]. I think it is based on the latest version or new beta of the official 1.B. Read all about it:

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.

MacPro Intel IDE drives to SATA ??

I have a MacPro that I purchased new in 2008 with 2.8 GHz Xeons and GeForce 8800 video cards with SATA hard drives BUT with IDE optical drives and I want them to be SATA also for my BluRay burner rather than have to put the BRD in my Windows machine which I want to sell.
So can someone give me advice on the quick and easy way to convert my MacPro from IDE optical drives (two bays) to SATA?
Thanks in advance to those who respond.

PCI-X is an old PCI specification
PCIe or PCI Express is what you have to have.
Most people use PCIe cards for external drives, not internal. There are exceptions like SSD drives people often put in that lower optical bay, and go with external BR.
My PC, I use Intel RAID Storage Manager for the hard drives. The Mac Pro uses the basic Intel Skulltrail platform reference design motherboard wtih its support for dual Xeon and such. Wouldn't be impossible to have RAID via motherboard, though software RAID0 is fine anyway as it is.
OWC is the best place to find your way around. That way takes the worry out and they have install videos for most major items. They have your BR and SATA optical drives and most (but not all) hard drive controllers.
Why not SATA? Did they provide better performance in late 2007, when the system was being engineered? had IDE hit a roadblock and DVDs needed more bandwidth than available?

Recommended SCSI to SATA converter for older external hard drive enclosure?

I have a SCI external hard drive enclosure that I would like to be able to use a with a SATA drive. Can anyone suggest an inexpensive, reliable SCSI to SATA bridge board?

Those are both good points. It's a really nice enclosure (its a red FW400 drive that instead of being a rectangular box, it has this funky wave shape). I could just use the drive with an existing SCSI drive and make it for something that doesn't need high r/w speeds like documents.

Can SCSI and ATA coexist?

My Mac G4 450 came with a 36 GB SCSI drive, I purchased a 160 GB Ultra ATA drive and a Ultra ATA ribbon cable. I assumed all I had to do was install the drive and connect the cable then run disk utility. No such luck. The drive is a seagate barracuda plus 8mb ultraATA/100. I've tried all four jumper positions, and since the cable is a dual drive I tried both primary and secondary positions. At each restart the screen shows only a folder flashing between a mac face and a question mark. Disconnecting power at the new drive, and or disconnecting the ribbon at the new drive produces the same results. The only way to reboot is to disconnect the ribbon cable from the motherboard. When that cable is connected it can't find a system. Any ideas? P.S. I recently installed a sonnet 1.2GHZ upgrade about 2-months ago but no problems.

Did you zap the pram after you installed the new HD? Always a good idea after you make any change to the hardware.
See if that helps.
If not, error code -20 indicates an I/O error. Error codes are here.
An I/O error would explain the failed format.
On your G4, you want that either as master or slave. Probably a master and stuck to the end of the cable. Don't know about the current Barracudas, but for a lot of them you set the jumper on pins 7 and 8. Look at the top of the drive, they usually have a little diagram -- otherwise check Seagate's site. Slave has no jumpers.
Next to the cable, what kind of cable did you buy? How long and how many wires? The ATA standard calls for 18" maximum, and I would suggest that don't go longer than that unless you're buying really good cables. Don't really need longer than that anyway from the mb to bay 3. Exceding 18" with suspect cables and you risk data corruption.
You really need to make sure you get an ATA/66 compliant cable (which also covers ATA/100 and ATA/133), in that I mean make sure it has 80 wires. There are in reality on 40 connectors (40 wires used for connection), but the other 40 wires are used for sheilding. The ATA/66 (and /100 and /133) specs demand you use an 80 wires cable.
If you can get a teflon cable, usually they're yellow. Seem be work a bit better. If you can't don't sweat it as long as it's 80 wires and no longer 18".
Oh, by the way, since you're attaching the 160GB on the motherboard, bear in mind you won't get full formatted capacity. You have either a Sawtooth or a Gigabit Ethernet with an ATA/66 bus. Older ATA protocals like ATA/66 have a cap of 137GB (about 128GB formatted). So your 160GB will show only about 128GB after you get it formatted. (Only cure for that is to get an ATA-6, e.g. ATA/133 PCI card; should work fine though on the motherboard although giving you only 128GB.)
But just to be clear I should be able to just connect the cable to the board and then to the drive, open disk utility erase and reformat right?Provided it's jumpered correctly, and zapping the pram at startup, the answer is yes. Something is amiss.
SCSI and ATA can coexist. I've Seagate 15K SCSI Cheetah on an ATTO UL3D in my DA, with a 3 ATA Barracudas -- one on the motherboard, two on a Siig PCI ATA card.
DA-Giga 2x1.33; Cube-Giga 1.3; PB 15" 1.33-Hitachi 100GB 7K100, Pioneer DVR-K05 Mac OS X (10.4) Cheetah 15.3K, ATTO UL3D, Radeon 9600 Pro

One IDE drive and one ATA drive in a single RAID enclosure?

I just got an OWC AL Elite dual-drive RAID enclosure, and was told, by OWC, that I could drop an IDE drive and an ATA drive into the enclosure and it would work fine.
It's not - If I unplug one of the drives, it works fine: the drive mounts and shows up in Disk Utility, but when both drives are plugged in, it doesn't mount, and Disk Utility sees the drive as a single 2TB drive (one drive is 300GB the other 160GB).
any thoughts? I have the jumpers on the drives set at Cable Select, I tried them both on Master and the drive wouldn't even show up in Disk Utility.
thanks

Yes. I have it. They sell a model for ATA drives and SATA drives. Go into the "external enclosures" section and scroll down about halfway. It's in the multi-drive section.

IRQ and SATA HD problems hangs computer

I tried installing AL 0.7 on my desktop. It has a Asus a7n8x-deluxe motherboard with one IDE HD and one SATA HD. It uses the Silicon Image chip for SATA. During the installation boot up process, the kernel detects the SATA drive but it later hangs when sending some commands to it and I have to reboot the computer by turning the power off then on.
I read a couple of other threads and have come to understand that I have to recompile the kernel. I'm new at linux so, what options should I enable or disable when compiling the kernel? Booting with arch-noscsi bypasses the problem but, I can't mount the sata drive.

I have a Maxtor 6 Y120M0 SATA drive but, I don't think it's the drive that's giving me a problem when installing AL 0.7. I booted up with AL 0.6 install cd and same problem occurs but, it doesn't hang like in 0.7. Here are some of the things that occur when booting up AL 0.6
1. Kernel recognizes SATA drive that uses Silicon Image chipset.
2. IRQ 11 is disabled (don't know exactly why). This occurs in 0.7 and 0.6.
3. The kernel tries scanning hdg.
Scanning hdg takes some time. At this point, in AL 0.6 it does this 2x and because it can't find anything gives up and continues with boot up process. I believe that scanning of hdg also occurs in AL 0.7 but, instead of giving up and continuing with boot up it hangs.
Are there some kernel options I can pass at boot up to disable scanning of hdg? Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this problem? I don't want to stick with AL 0.6 b/c I'm afraid same problem will occur when kernel is upgraded when I send comman pacman -Syu.

[845 Series] 845PE and SATA DVD Burner, am I missing something here?

Hello all,
I seem to be finding a lot of people with issues regarding Plextor SATA drives, but I may just not have the right mobo to do what I want, maybe someone can help me figure this out.
Here are my basic specs:
845PE Max2 mobo
3 HDD(Don't think brand/capacity matters here)
1 DVD ROM drive
I have 2 of my HDD hooked up to my Primary IDE channel, and the DVD ROM hooked up to my Secondary IDE channel, and I have the third HDD hooked up to the extra IDE channel set up for RAID on this motherboard, but when I hook up the Plextor burner to my SATA channel 1, it doesn't show up ANYWHERE.
Here are my questions:
Can I use an optical SATA drive with this board, or will it only work with HDD's?
If I CAN use an optical drive, are the SATA channels hooked up somehow with the third IDE channel (In other words, is the fact that I have an IDE drive already on the third channel negating the SATA channels in the firsat place?)?
If the HDD IS what is causing the SATA drive not to show up, will moving it to the slave position on my Secondary IDE channel fix this, and if so, will my drive letter change?
I sure hope this isn't covered somewhere else in the forums, but I really didn't see MY exact problem anywhere.
I appreciate any and all help that you folks can provide!
Thanks!
Mike Wells

Your MOBO does not seem to be on the list as compatible with SATA Plextor optical drives. Of course, you could use a PCI card (SATA) in your machine.
Here are links to Plextor's MOBO compatability list:

IDE Hard disk + SATA Disk

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could take the time to give me some help, I recently assembled
a new computer using an MSI KT600 motherboard, the one showed here:
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=KT6V-LSR&class=mb
This board has two Serial ATA connectors that supports RAID 0 and RAID 1. I tried to attach an IDE hard disk and a SATA hard disk to it, but I started to get blue screens of death, I disconnected the SATA hard disk leaving the machine with only one IDE disk and everything is working fine now.
I cannot find any information regarding the use of one IDE disk and a SATA disk and my question is:
Is it not possible to use both at the same time?
My current configuration is this:
Maxtor hard disk 40 gigabytes Primary master
CD-Rom primary slave
DVD-Rom secondary master
DVD-RW secondary slave
My desire is to attach only one Western Digital 80 gigabytes SATA disk to the Serial ATA connector.
Appreciate your support

Hi guys,
I thought that I should let you know of my progress regarding the installation of a
Serial ATA hard disk to my stable machine that uses an IDE hard disk to boot up into Windows XP.
To be frank with anyone who could ask, this was a crazy experiment, I am still unsure that things are as smooth as they really look, but so far this is what happened:
My computer’s power supply did not had an empty connector for the SATA hard disk, so I decided to modify one of the connectors that are used to power up floppy drives attaching a a connector from another power supply. I connected the SATA disk to this connector, plugged everything and started the machine, the bios detected the new hard disk and Windows XP appeared without any problems. Because the new Serial ATA hard disk was not formatted, I could not see it in when I opened the Icon “My Computer”, so, following instructions from the manufacturer of the disk, I used a Windows Tool to format, the most amazing thing is that the disk was formatted in seconds.
I am able to access the second disk with no problems at the moment.
Anyway, that's it.

230HTT And SATA Cause Instability

I tried moving around my single Raptor to all the different SATA Ports and did some testing with Prime95. Although If I increase the voltage prime will not fail as fast but no matter what I set the vcore to it still ends up failing. On the other hand, I just loaded up on my IDE Seagate and unplugged the raptor and was able to run prime for about 15min (before I canceled it) at 1.6v 235x10.
So has anyone found a way around this and if not, maybe we should forward it to MSI support so they can implement some sort of a BIOS fix.

Anything over 212 FSB and the RAID is not found at post or I get the red RAID error message.
As long as I stay at 212 or below... no issues.
Currently running 1.2C BIOS. (earlier versions had the same problem)
I have the same problem as you have, at 212 it won't detect my sata drive anymore.
I'm starting to think it might be the chipset temperature as i use the stock hs on it.

Ide scsi and sata?
