K9A2 Plat v1 eSATA -- No drives detected at POST? -- (Resolved)
Upgrading the BIOS to 1.4 was not a fix for me, so I set aside the two NEW cables I had been using, and just added an eSATA conversion segment to some standard SATA cables I had been using. I'm now booting the off of a 0+1 RAID on the Promise T3, which includes the two external ports. I transferred the drives directly over from the internal to external connectors without any apparent ill effect. No modification / reinstall of the RAID / OS required. With this result, I'm officially writing this all off to bad cables.
Perhaps as a result of the BIOS upgrade, Win2k reported that it had detected new hardware. I'm not sure why, but sometimes on startup, the system hangs while scanning for drives on the PDC42819 --- with a message to the effect that "your system has a hardware problem!". Reboot and it goes away, so whatever!
This now allows me to run more burners. I'm running three SATA and one IDE. Everything is happy in device manager, save for one unknown device.
****** Original post:
Win2k SP4 is running pretty well on my SB600 0+1 RAID, but when I tried to use the Promise T3 eSATA ports recently I encountered a problem at the point where POST passed control to the PDC42819 for array enumeration and scanning for attached drives. Specifically, normal SATA drives attached to the eSATA ports are never detected, even though the exact same drives attached to SATA5 & SATA6 internally are detected without any problem.
I have some difficulty understanding the difference between the SATA5-6 and eSATA ports as listed in the mainboard specifications. Some of the following obviously applies to both the v1 and v2, and when it starts talking about SATA5-6 and eSATA, I assume this is referencing what I have:
"4 SATAII ports by SB600 (SATA1~4)
2 SATAII ports by Promise T3, support SAS ready device
(SATA5~6, optional)
2 eSATA ports by Promise T3 (optional)
Supports storage and data transfers at up to 300MB/s
2 SATA (SATA5 & SATA6) ports and 2 eSATA ports by Promise T3
support to install storage devices only (optional)"
So I have some basic questions about the Promise T3 and associated ports:
If my board actually has the eSATA ports (not just solder blanks like those at JTPM), is a regular SATA drive supposed to be detected if plugged in?
Assuming that the Promise T3 is enabled in the BIOS, is there any other prerequisite for making the eSATA ports work? Like, can you use the eSATA ports without using SATA5-6 internally on the mainboard?
Swapping eSATA cables made no difference.

Yes, you can.
I have had some different results depending on the eSATA enclosure I use. Tested with two regular SATA drives, Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 and Hitachi 7K250. Both drives work fine on the internal connectors, both drives work fine in an ICY BOX enclosure connected to eSATA. Trouble started when I bought a second enclosure, Cooler Master X-Craft. The Hitachi drive simply wasn't there anymore, the Seagate was but it would hang during boot where it is scanning for hard drives...

MSI K9A2 PLAT/AMD 9850 BE/ CPU Ratio issue
Stats
AMD-9850 BE
MSI-K9A2 plat v1.0/Bios 1.3(have given 1.4 and 1.6 a try and it does not fix the issue)
PSU-Apevia Warlock 900w
ATI 4870
4gigs(2 sticks) OCZ-DDR2 1066
Windows Vista 64-SP1
My issue is that my CPU ratio will not change the speed of my current CPU clock in BIOS(or real time CPUZ). The stock CPU ratio for an AMD 9850 BE is 12.5. I can change it to 13 (ect) and save and reboot but it will not change the CPU clock, however the cell menu shows it at x13 2600 MHz. Its almost as if the ratio is locked and it should not be. I can lower the Ratio to 12 changing the CPU clock to 2.4 so it is working, in a way. When I gave bios 1.6 a try the options for CPU ration only went up to 12.5(stock). I am starting to think that I got a locked 9850 when it came in a 9850BE box!!! Is there a MB setting I am missing or anything? This is starting to drive me nuts.
Any help would be great!! thank you
PS
AOD also shows all options to change CPU Ratio grayed out.... Could having D.O.T.3 Step settings disabled mess this up?
Is There something that has to be physically set to allow this on the MB?... Which would be a 1st for me?Download & run this to get OPN >> Central Brain ID <<

Hard Drive detects imminent failure
Please can anyone help. i have a compaq 6735s lap top which is about months ols. Today when i switch on I have a black screen with the following message: 1720-SMART hard drive detects imminent failure.
What should i do nowHi,
How many months?
The error message might or might not be true. It is worth your time to go ahead and back up all of your data to an external hard disk
Boot into Windows and go to Device manager look at the disk drive device click on the + to expand the category and post the model number (the complete alphanumeric string next to the icon) here in your thread. There is a possibility that your hard drive requires a firmware update. I will do a bit of research to see if that is indeed the issue.
There are some Maxtor drives that have had to have the update done to correct the SMART reporting feature which caused an error message virtually identical to the one you are getting.
regards,
erico.

Envy 15-j119tx smart hard drive detects imminent failure two separate notebooks
Last week I bought an Envy 15-j119tx from a retailer, and every time I restarted it I would get an error message telling me that the smart hard drive detects an imminent failure. From my google search I found that I pretty much need to replace the hard drive. So I took the laptop back to the retailer and they apologised and gave me another one today. This one also has the same error, so I am really confused, is this a problem with this model or what?
Maybe that retailer had 800 pound gorillas stocking the shelves with laptops. I would bet if you installed a new drive it would be fine. It is also not impossible HP got a batch of bad drives and laptops shipped to the same retailer probably came off the assembly line together. I would take it back one more time and insist to start it up before you take the new one out of the store this time.

Adding an eSATA External Drive Success Story
Aim: Add an eSATA external drive to a QIP 7232 2.
Note: Links are to products on Amazon, but other vendors sell the same equipment.
1. Purchase a Western Digital AV-GP 2 TB AV Hard Drive, 3.5 Inch, SATA II, 64 MB Cache - WD20EURS, $109. Two terabytes, and designed for stressful AV applications.
2. Purchase a Vantec NexStar 3 NST-360SU-BK External Hard Drive Enclosure, $32. This device comes with an eSATA cable but I used instead an 18" cable I bought on Amazon for $5 (no dust-collecting coils of eSATA cable stuffed behind the DVR!). Eighteen inches is ample.
3. Insert drive into enclosure. If you don't want a very bright flashing blue light disturbing your television viewing, do not connect the LED power wire to the front panel of the external drive.
4. Aftermakingsuretheexternaldriveisturnedoff, pluginitspowersupplyand connect the drive to the DVR with the eSATAcable.
5. Turn on the external drive.
That's all it took. I can't remember whether the DVR immediately recognized the drive or whether I had to go to Settings/DVR to kick off this process, but whatever happened, it was simple and quick. There was no lengthy disk formatting process -- less than a minute after I turned on the drive it was ready to accept recordings.
I was astonished at the simplicity of the whole process and gratified to find that my existing recordings were untouched. I can't imagine any way in which Verizon could have made this process easier or quicker.Thanks for the helpful info! I see WD makes a 3TB AV hard drive. Do you think this would work with the Motorola QIP 72322 DVR?

T400s Linux/Windows dual boot with Linux from Esata Flash Drive
This project is about a dual boot Windows/Linux system without using the normal dual boot changes in the bootloader of the windows hard drive. When I started this I found bits and pieces of information on the web but no complete description so I wrote this post.
I have done a dual boot system on my previous Thinkpad where I had partitioned the hard drive between Linux and windows. For this project I wanted to leave the windows hard drive absolutely intact and unaltered, and boot Linux from a flash drive in the esata port on the back of the T400s. Obviously this uses the F12 boot list function key to boot from the flash. The advantage of this is that Windows is totally unaltered and when I need Linux, I plug in the esata flash drive, hit F12 during the boot cycle and select booting from the esata flash drive. The reason for Esata rather than USB is simply speed. I have a nice fast Linux installation.
I used the OCZ esata flash drive but suspect any of the alternatives will work. It did not need the accessory usb cable because the Thinkpad powered the esata flash directly.
To boot from the esata drive I had to make the following changes in the bios
I left the esata flash plugged in as I went into the bios
Bios>config>Serial ATA and changed the Sata controller mode option to compatibility
Restart and back into the Bios
Bios>startup>boot - in my case the esata flash drive showed up as ATA HDD2 and was excluded from the boot order so I had to un-exclude it and move it to the point in the boot order that I wanted.
Next I downloaded a linux installation iso and put it on a CD - in my case opensuse. Then booted from the CD
From now on this instructions are specific to opensuse and yast but can be generalized to whatever Linux is being used.
In my case yast came up with a good set of suggestions for automatically partitioning the flash drive but then crashed during the partitioning itself. So I rebooted and specified the partitions manually.
A fat32 partition left as a partition which both windows and Linux could see (in my case about 20% of the drive) (/dev/sdb1)
An extended partition with the remainder of the drive (/dev/sdb2) which contains the following logical partitions
A linux Swap partition of 2GB (/dev/sdb5)
A linux /home partition –the remainder of the drive (/dev/sdb6)
A linux /root partition of 8GB (/dev/sdb7)
Yast automatically suggested mount points of C,D,E for the windows partitions. Unfortunately because of the way the Thinkpad hard drive was laid out Yast had C assigned the ThinkPad Service partition and D assigned to the SW_Preload (or main windows partition). However there was an edit function that allows for the reversal of those mount points so that the windows C drive is mounted in Linux as Windows/C thereby avoiding confusion. I had already backed up and removed the Thinkpad factory install data so I did not have to deal with that. Yast suggested Windows/E for the mount point of the FAT32 partition on the flash drive, which I accepted.
The yast install configurator made all this manual selection easy, and after the manual configuration the partitioning worked perfectly.
Next step was Linux user configuration which went fine
Next was booting.
In the section management tab
delete the windows 1 and 2 options (since we are not dual booting directly)
In the boot loader installation tab
uncheck boot from mbr ( this stops the install from installing Grub and dual boot on the windows c drive
check boot from root partition (this installs grub and all associated files in the Linux root partition (/dev/sdb6)
I believe that the correct procedure at this point is to click Boot Loader installation details which will bring up the Grub device map. In the device map there will be a line for the fixed hard drive (aka the windows drive) and a line for the esata flash drive. When the installer started up these were in hard drive and esata drive order. However when we boot directly from the flash the esata drive will be grub drive hd0 and the fixed hard drive will be grub hd1. The device map order needs to be changed to reflect this ie the esata drive should be first not second.
I did not do this and ended up initially doing Grub command line editing to boot and later manually editing the grub files using information I had previously learned the hard way and through google.
At this point let the installer go ahead and install Linux. After doing this it should come back and tell you to reboot. Do not do it yet because we need to install the MBR into the flash drive.
I suspect that there is a way of doing this in Yast running from the Live CD but it was not obvious to me so I used the manual method that I have used before.
Open a root terminal
Mount /dev/sdb6 to /mnt/sdb6 (my linux root)
Touch /mnt/sdb6/boot/grub/flag
The purpose of this is when we go looking later at the grub command prompt we need an easy to find unique file
Start grub and do the following
#grub
grub> find /boot/grub/flag
(hd1,5) -- the result of the find in my example
grub> root (hd1,5) -- using the result of the find in my example
grub> setup (hd1) -- install mbr -- my example parameters - if you get this wrong you will trash some other drive!!!
hopefully grub announces success
grub> quit
Reboot and select the flash drive. In my case I still had the grub devicemap wrong and had to edit the grub commands during boot to tell grub how to find the correct partition and then edit them again after booting
Typical linux install issues that we all always seem to have and can be solved with a little (or a lot of) google research.
As I said at the beginning I now have an untouched windows installation and a nice fast Linux installation. I hope that this will be of some use to someone.Hi chrissh
i tried this exact procedure... on the exact same notebook (T400s). However, as soon as I set the
Bios>config>Serial ATA to "compatibility", I cannot use my default Windows installation! I immediately get the "blue screen of death".
I doubt I did anything differently since this is the first step of your procedure and my laptop is brand new!
any idea? -

Am I correct that Quantum does not support the eSATA external drives?
I bought an eSATA external drive when they first became available and I get a huge amount of storage space (something like 120 hours of HD).
Can you mix and match your old DVR with the new Quantum DVR? In other words, could I keep my old one up in the bedroom or is quantum all or nothing?
The 6 channels at once thing is appealing - particularly during football season ... but going backwards on recording capacity is a dealkiller, regrettably.
Solved!

So I've renewed my FIOS contract. If/when the six-channel DVR starts supporting eSATA, I'll reconsider switching to it. If the port is on there, it's a shame that they're not enabling it. I guess that they want an upcharge for extra capacity rather than letting you buy it yourself.
The VMS boxes are in a sense using older firmware such as the guide being the older version then what the multi room boxes use right now which is why the ports arent enabled yet. I'm sure once they release a new firmware upgrade they will be enabled. -
PE 13 crashes due to incompatible video driver detected. Running on Win 7 SP1 with ATI 540v video card/driver. Deleting bad driver file in adobe program data does not fix the problem, it simply replaces the text file and crashes again. My video driver is just fine. Any help out there?

Your video card driver may be fine for something, but just not compatible with Premiere Elements 13/13.1.
For those with the display card error, the answers include
a. assure your video card/graphics card driver version is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card -
if necessary consider a driver roll back.
b. determine in Device Manager/Display Adapters if the computer is using 2 cards instead of 1
c. delete the BadDrivers.txt file
the rationale for that deletion is found in post 10 of the following older post...principle applies to 13 as well as 9.
Re: Premiere Elements 9 Tryout Serious Display Problem
Have you looked for computer ATI card settings that might be more compatible with Premiere Elements 13/13.1?
When is the program crashing - just opening a new project or rather crashing if editing a particular video format at the Timeline level?

patrickSomya, check your parameters:
1 * Last added file name (lastfile) ....... [I:\ORACLE\SMD\SAPDATA2\SR3_11\SR3.
DATA11]
2 * Last added file size in MB (lastsize) . [<b>420</b>]
3 - New file to be added (file) ........... [I:\oracle\SMD\sapdata2\sr3_12\sr3.
data12]
4 # Raw disk / link target (rawlink) ...... []
5 - Size of the new file in MB (size) ..... [420]
6 - File autoextend mode (autoextend) ..... [yes]
7 - Maximum file size in MB (maxsize) ..... [<b>10000]</b>
8 - File increment size in MB (incrsize) .. [<b>20</b>]
option 2: your datafile will use 420MB to begin with.
option 7: it can grow up to 10000MB
option 8: it will grow with increments of 20MB
so, you need at least 10GB in your filesystem.
your warnings are saying that datafiles of 3 tablespaces, if they grow to their maximum file size, will overflow your filesystem (PSAPSR3,PSAPSR3700,PSAPSR3DB).
solutions:
1. increase filesystem size
2. decrease value of maximum size of datafiles, I would especially check the maximum size of ALL datafiles of PSAPSR3.
3. move some datafiles on another filesystem.
good luck. -
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk1\D
Hope someone can help, yesterday in the event viewer I encountered the following error
"The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk1\D

Apparantly a BIOS update will be able to fixed the problem but I'm not sure which BIOS you should use. I suggest that you check MSI's website to look into your mobo's BIOS release notes to find out more first.
Please also note that there's an amount of risk to flashing your mobo's BIOS as and improper flash will caused the mobo to die immediately or having multiple errors due to bad flash. I would recommend that you flash through a floppy bootdisk which seems to be the best method till date. -

Having checked the virtual SCSI disks all have their write cache enabled, is this correct or do I need to take some action to prevent these events?Hi,
This is normal and you can't change it. This tells AD that write caching is enabled so it uses a different method to store information.
