Installing SSD Drive - SATA 3 connection not working

Trying to install a new Samsung EVO 850 SSD Drive. The motherboard is MSI MS-7778 (Jasmine). I can get it to work on the white, dark blue, and light blue SATA connections. The yellow SATA connection (I think labeled SATA 3) does not work. It does not work when I connect it to anything in the computer. I need all four connections. Two hard drives and the DVD reader are already using the white, dark blue, and light blue SATA connections.Does anyone know how to get the yellow SATA connection (SATA 3) to work?Thanks! It's been a long night....

Thanks for the suggestion. I too had noticed the motherboard diagram. I tried and tried all three SATA connections over and over again with no progress. I tried everything I could think of. Changed wires, checked the BIOS, etc.I was just ready to give up when my wife received a call from the Microsoft store notifying her that the install of Windows 10 on her laptop was done. She put the computer tech on the phone, I described the problem and he suggested that I try what I had been contemplating - reinstalling Windows 10 all over again. So I plugged in the SSD drive, both regular hard drives and said to myself, "After this many hours, I've got nothing to lose!" Reinstalled Windows 10 from my USB flash drive and everything worked like a charm. I couldn't believe it!It appears Windows 10 reads your entire hardware configuration on the initial install through the Internet. Which takes forever!Windows 10 doesn't like changes. So those of us who like to upgrade our computers with new SSD drives, memory, etc. are going to have to re-learn how to do it. It used to be so easy! Learning Windows 10 and how it reacts to new hardware configurations certainly sucked up many hours of my time!Thanks for the on-point advice.

Ethernet driver for WXP is not working on Satellite A100

Satellite A100-784 PSAANE-02L011G3 ethernet driver for wxp is not working. Can not properly install driver, downloaded all possible drivers and still not working.
In device manager yellow sign. I have bought my laptop with Vista BASIC and I put XP-SP2. Country is Croatia! Help me please!

Hi
I cannot believe that you are not able to install the LAN driver on this A100 Satellite!
However, the Sat A100-784 supports an Intel 82562GZ 10/100 Mbit (Ekron) Lan chip.
If you want you can download and install the Lan driver from the Intel page:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=999&lang=eng
There you will find the drivers for the Intel 8256x Ethernet Controllers

Could not find an installed JDK, SCM Java Tools may not work until registry

Hello all,
I've downloaded the latest full version of Designer (10.1.2.3), but getting installation error: Could not find an installed JDK, SCM Java Tools may not work until registry
Any solution?

3. install the Designer 10.1.2.3 patch to the Developer suite home.When I try to do this at C:\oracle\product\Ora10gDSR2, I get a message OUI-10137: An Oracle Home with name OUIHome already exits at C:\OraHome (a directory that doesn't exist) please specify another name for Oracle Home.
I don't want to just specify another name because cleaning up these faulty installations requires deleting registry keys, etc, since the deinstall does't really remove everything sufficiently to start with a clean slate.
I also got the Java JDK message because the JDK 5 is no longer being put straight onto the C drive, it is buried in C:\Sun\SDK\jdk, so some java programs have to be pointed to it. The Oracle installer doesn't provide this option.
Also, Michael, your post, "Re: Designer 10.1.2.3 on windows Xp Posted: Oct 20, 2007 7:05 AM in response to: mmehdi" is full of unreadable characters and question marks. Maybe I don't have a font you are using. There are also references to a zip file and a Word document that aren't there.
Anyway, thanks for all your time and effort,

I cannot seem to load raw images into LR 2.5. I've been using this for years. I always load from memory card, but it gives me an unknown error message. I tried to load from camera, hard drive, & external drive and still will not work. I checked import menu and nothing has changed. I loaded the photos onto my tablet and images are fine, so do not feel it is the memory card. Any thoughts?

The error message probably said "unsupported or damaged"
The T3 requires Lightroom 3.4.1 or later. You can either upgrade to a more current version of Lightroom (version 5.6 is the most recent) or you can use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert the RAWs to DNG, which should import into Lightroom properly.

Camera connection not working with my camera

Camera connect not working with my Sony boggie camera

The Bloggie will not work because it draws too much power from the USB port on the iPad. The solution is to interpose a powered USB hub between the Bloggie and the iPad - connect the Bloggie to the powered hub, then connect the hub to the ipad accessory. Works fine with my 3D Bloggie.

On trying to open month of March 2013 the pre-installed calendar just shuts down and closes.

X-Fi Titanium PCI Express front pannel connection not working

<font face="verdana,geneva" size="3">I can not get any signal to or from the front pannel connector of my X-Fi Titanium PCI Express. (The rear jacks are working fine.)
<font face="verdana,geneva" size="3">The front header cable from my Antec P-80B worked perfectly with my onboard motherboard sound. Now that I have it connected to my X-Fi I get nothing from the jacks on the front of my case. (The onboard sound is disabled in my BIOS.)? I've double and tripple checked the connection and it is properly keyed and fitted. Is there a step or a setting that I'm missing somewhere to get this working? Can anyone confirm that the front pannel connection is acti've on the X-Fi Titanium PCI Express?

Re: X-Fi Titanium PCI Express front pannel connection not working? I was truly hoping that would help and I wanted to give you some additional hope. I have a coolermaster case, and it has the AC97 jack on the inside with all my other other front panel connectors for hard dri've activity light, reset, and power on. Three inches down from the AC97 jack, the INTEL HD *which works beautifully with the X-FI, only differs by three wires in different locations and the two pinouts configurations match those of the INTEL site identically.
Please tell me what happens as I would like to post a step by step guide for the others here in the forum. You will know when you have successfully adapted the connector because in VISTA and Windows 7, your sound applet in control panel will have a display of the connectors "lit up" when they are successfully connected. Mine shows FP microphone in the applet when its plugged in, and grayed out when its not. Its great for telling if I am connected on the rear of the soundcard of the front.
Best of luck and .......

If I try this for few times, the security count expires.
I see three problems that it could have:
- my hdparm/system/whatever does not fully support the drive; maybe the password cannot be accepted?
- maybe the password used by the laptop bios was filled with other characters after my typing: spaces?
- not the password is the problem, but getting information from the drive: not supported by this system?
I assume dmesg is the key, but I can't interpret it. I hope someone could tell me what should I verify/do further, I have no idea what to test anymore.

No, it is not encrypted. Just as an information, it contains 4 partitions: sdb1=NTFS, sdb2=ext4, sdb3=swap, sdb4=ext4.
This error did not occur when I was using it on my laptop, but I took the HDD out and mounted it in my girlfriend's computer, she has another Arch installed there, so I don't meed to boot from this disk, just to be able to read it. The password is a disk password - hardware probably, not for encrypted partitions. I could not disable the password because the original laptop doesn't start anymore, and the BIOS settings on this desktop computer does not support HDD password, but only System password.
So, if the HDD had no passwod set, I could tell you if the reading problem comes from some incompatibility issues, but as for now, I can't tell where it comes from, because I need to deactivate its security with hdparm --security-disable first. But this actually looks to not work, or something.
I'm thinking that the mianboard doesn't support this HDD directly connected, the things I'll do next week are:
- buying an external HDD 2.5 rack
- plug it in the USB
- try again hdparm and anything required to make it read.
If this fails, too, probably the only remaining solution is to find someone with an Acer laptop to put this HDD inside and backup my data, or at least deactivate the pass from the bios setings.
Btw, I think this is something worth mentioning to warn the users in general: this Acer 5520G was of very poor quality, things began to crack right after the one year guarantee expired, beginning with the DVD-writer.

How do I install a SSD drive - the Bios does not allow changing to AHCI mode

I have a Windows 7, HP ENVY approx 1.5 years old. I want to install an SSD drive, however the BIOS seems to be locked, or does not include options to change the SATA connection to AHCI or RAID.
How does one unlock the BIOS, or change the sata settings to allow an SSD drive to be installed?

Hi:
AHCI is enabled by default on today's HP consumer notebooks.
Nothing can be done to actually see a setting, or change the setting to anything other than AHCI etc.
