Lose Seagate SATA when A: Boot

I have tried numerous boot disks and there all the same
c: invalid drive....... F**K I am running an Seagate SATA 120G ....23A. It seems Auto detect looks for the drive during normal booting now as before it flashed and then it was gone. My Lite-on won't do jack either
  Does the controller or  require a DOS driver to detect SATA?

your drives ntfs,a boot disk cannot read it only fat 32

    Hello, first i tell you that i am from Portugal so the english is not my first language
    I have a MB MSI865PE LS and i recently buy a seagate 160 Gb SATA the drive is recognized in the BIOS and in the Win XP but when i try to make the SATA as a Win XP Bootable disk the computer do not boot from the disk, it make the first part of the Win setup allright and the SATA (The only HD Drive conected) is recognized in the setup and formated, but when the setup rebbot the computer to make the first boot in Win XP it goes every time to the CD ROM i try various BIOS setups and various Boot Sequence Setups and the F11 BOOT MENU and even when i disconect the CD ROM and the only drive is the SATA after the BIOS posts (The is always recognized in BIOS) the screen stays blank with the bliking cursor.
    I read some posts and try some diferente solutions but i cant make the Win XP boot from the SEAGATE SATA :(((

    1. In Bios Integrated Peripherals>>On-Chip IDE Config:
    Set Native Mode
    Set SATA Only
    Set Keep PATA Active-Yes
    Set PATA Channels- Both
    Leave other stuff at default
    2. In Bios Advanced Features
    Set ACPI APIC SCSI IRQ - Enabled
    3. Reboot and in Bios Advanced Features>>Boot Device Config
    Set devices you want to boot from including the floppy, CDRom, and SATA drive
    4. Reboot to the XP setup CD and try install again
    Let us know if it works.

  • Successfully expanded storage with Seagate SATA/300 500GB internal drive!

    *Initially thinking I'd add an external firewire 250GB drive for video production storage, I am thusfar delighted that I went with the Seagate 500GB internal drive they call the Seagate SATA/300. By following the combination of instructions that Seagate and Apple provided with drive and operating system, it worked perfectly the first time! I've never had such an easy upgrade with my Windows computers. I chose just one partition so I'd have all 500GB available for a family video project, which I trust will be somewhat overkill.*
    My 85 year old mother has consented to interviews about her childhood memories from both sides of her family tree. Her maternal grandmother apparently once shared how she and her parents learned of President Lincoln's assassination when a man walked up to their Maine farm home to break the several day old news. She, like her descendants, was a distant cousin of the late president. And, there was no such thing as "Breaking News" in the mid 1800's.

    Hi! I presume that with all your desire to save important historical information you have provided sufficient backup capabilities to your system? It would be a shame to lose important information for lack of a sufficient backup routine. Tom

  • When I boot up I get a complete white screen and can't access any thing including task bar. When I right click and hit properties it says it is a Firefox docum

    I downloaded a video in a zip file, when it started the whole window went white. When I right click on the screen under properties it tells me it is a Firefox document. I rebooted to fix the problem and I saw a brief view of my wallpaper and desktop icons then back to the white screen. When I boot up or log in to the admin account (guest account is fine) I get a pure white screen. I cannot access any thing including the task bar. The only way out is to reboot and the problem repeats. I have booted with my anti virus program and it finds no problems. When I exit the anti virus program there is the brief view of the desktop and back to the white screen. HELP, I don't want to lose everything because I have to reload the OS.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

  • I lose the connection when closing the CMD

    Hi guys,
    I have configured a standalone listener as following:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin> java -Dapex.home=D:\list -Dapex.images=C:\images -jar D:\apex.war
    Afterward,
    If I close the CMD, I will lose the connection, and I have to reconfigure it again.
    If I open APEX locally , I mean by using the shortcut "Get Started With Oracle Database 11g Express Edition" , Then I will lose the connection that uses the default port of the listener, that is 8080.
    After I configured the listener I got this message on the CMD
    -- listing properties --
    PropertyCheckInterval=60
    ValidateConnection=true
    MinLimit=1
    MaxLimit=10
    InitialLimit=3

    Hi,
    I'm not sure I got your question right, but I'll try to find some solution anyway.
    If I close the CMD, I will lose the connection, and I have to reconfigure it again.That's what happens when a shell is terminated - all associated processes will stop as well. However, if you have a apex-config.xml in your apex.home you shouldn't need to configure your APEX Listener each time your start it, but it would reuse an existing configuration.
    If I open APEX locally , I mean by using the shortcut "Get Started With Oracle Database 11g Express Edition" , Then I will lose the connection that uses the default port of the listener, that is 8080.Now, if you have XE running on the same (local) machine as you have your APEX Listener running in standalone mode, you probably have a port conflict: By default, both APEX Listener in standalone mode and the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway (EPG) use port 8080. The EPG is activated as web server for APEX in XE after a fresh installation, the APEX Listener would be an alternative in that case. You can either stop the EPG, or reconfigure any of the two web servers to use a different port, if you want to run them parallel.
    To change the port used by the APEX Listener in standalone mode, you simply add another parameter to the startup: -Dapex.port=8888 and you're done.
    To change the port used by the EPG, connect as sys and run the following
    EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(8888);
    COMMIT;If you want to disable the EPG, simply set the port to *0* .
    After I configured the listener I got this message on the CMDThat's what it should look like.
    No, since your topic is "lose the connection when closing the CMD", I assume you search for an alternative. You could run the APEX Listener as a Windows service, even in standalone mode. To do this, you create a batch file, e.g.
    %JAVA_HOME%\java -Dapex.home=D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\_home -Dapex.images=D:\oracle\apex_4_0_2\images -Dapex.port=8888 -jar D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\apex_listener.1.1.2.131.15.23\apex.war >>D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\apex_listener.1.1.2.131.15.23\my_apex_listener.log 2>&1Note that you have to set JAVA_HOME as system property or replace the call with the absolute path to your JDK or make sure the JDK is in your PATH variable.
    Of course, you can and should change the other directories as well to fit to your system.
    Next, create a Windows service, e.g. using [url https://iain.cx/src/nssm/]NSSM (free) or [url http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890]SRVANY (MS, non-free), that starts your batch as a windows service.
    The command for creating that service using NSSM could look as follows
    nssm install APEX_Listener D:\oracle\APEX_Listener\apex_listener.1.1.2.131.15.23\startup.cmdYou can edit the service properties afterwards, e.g. change the start mode from "Automatic" to "On Demand".
    I hope this answers your question. If not, please point me into the right direction.
    Thanks,
    Udo

  • Mac OS wont recognize  new Seagate SATA hard drive...

    My original seagate SATA 250G drive failed, trying to replace it with a Seagate 2G SATA, booting up snow leapard from the disk, Disk utilities doesn't detect the drive at all, so I can't reformat or partition it.  Read some info from seagate, but don't understand why i might need a host adapter card if the computer already had a SATA drive in it already... Any suggestions before I give up?  It is an old mac pro, first or second gen, used it all the time and has never failed me until now.  Both the broken drive and new drive are internal drives.. 

    You should not need a Host adapter to install a SATA drive in a SATA bay.
    But any mis-alignment at any stage can cause the drive connector to hit, rather than engage the backplane connector. The drive connector must fully mate with the connector at the back of the bay.
    • You must snug, but not over-tighten the screws at each position with the exact correct #0 Phillips screwdriver to get comparable torque on each screw.
    • The drive must then be inserted so that each roof tang catches the correct part of the sled. If one is bypassed the drive will be cocked in the bay and not mate.

  • Pb installing Panther on 500GB Seagate SATA/300

    I'm trying to install a 500GB Seagate SATA/300 to replace my original 250 GB Maxtor which is fried. I have a 2005 PowerMac G5. I put the drive in the top bay. I went straight to install but the Seagate drive would not show up. Following Apple's instructions (article 303220), I used Disk Utility to erase, then partition the drive using Mac OS extended, one partition. But I keep getting the icon of the drive with the red exclamation point. I've read in other forums that perhaps a 2005 PowerMac G5 cannot handle drives larger than 400GB.
    Any thoughts? thanks!

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    Booted from the OS install disk, in Disk Utility, you were able to see the drive before formatting? After formatting, the drive isn't available for OS installation?
    Did you lock the drive? Password protect? What is the formatted capacity (according to Disk Utility?
    Your G5 will support as large a drive as you an purchase.......

  • BIOS doesn't show SATA Drive as Boot Sequence option

    Hi,
    I recently bought an MSI MEGA 865 Pro, and can't get the SATA hard drive to work (Western Digital Caviar 400GB)
    When it boots up, it auto-detects an 'IDE Hard Disk' as Primary on IDE Channel 3, but when I go into the BIOS setup, the only Boot Sequence options I get are Disabled and my DVD Writer.
    In On-Chip IDE Configuration, I've got P-ATA Channel Selection set to Both and On-Chip Serial ATA set to Native Mode. These, and also Combined Mode Option, are the only options I have, and I've tried changing them with no result.
    When I try to install Windows, or use the Western Digital Tools for setting up the HD, they both say there's no hard drive.
    I've tried it in my Shuttle, and it finds it fine. I used it to write a disk signature, and set up partitions, leaving some space free for InstantOn. Put it back into the MSI, .. same thing.
    My AMI BIOS is at version 1.0 at the moment, and I'm going to try to upgrade it to 1.1 tonight. According to MSI's website, it fixes a restart issue with EM64T processors, which I have, but I'm not sure if it's going to fix the HD.
    Is there anything else I can try?

    I've just tried something which helps a little.
    If I reset CMOS by shorting pins 2-3 on the JBAT1 jumper on the motherboard, when I turn the PC on it works, and complains about CMOS settings. In the BIOS this time the HDD is recognized, and everything seems OK. But .. after a reboot I get the same problems again.
    Also, I've tried creating a bootable CD with the BIOS files on it, but when I try to upgrade the BIOS, it just comes up with the usage instructions like I did something wrong. I am typing 'ADSFI718 A7122IMS.110 <enter>'.
    Please help.

  • 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!

  • K7N2 Delta restarts when I boot

    CPU - Athlon 2800XP
    MB - K7N2 Delta
    RAM - Corsair CMX512
    Video - ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
    OS - Windows XP
    When i boot, it brings me to the windows screen where it gives me serveral options like : Boot normally, Restore to last config, boot in safe mode, etc. Then when i choose any of those, it just restarts. It never lets me into windows, it just restarts.

    yep its gone UNLESS you put your HD back in your old system and then transfer what you want over to another harddrive.  You should always partition your HD and store what you want on 1 partition that you do not want to lose and put your OS on the other partition

  • Why is my Distiller 9.0 randomly choosing a folder on my Mac and distilling everything in it, and dropping the PDFs into another random folder, when I boot up the program?

    Acrobat Distiller 9, upon boot up, will sometimes just pick a random folder on my Mac or on a network drive over our server and start distilling all the files within that folder. Then if the files convert to a PDF, it will move them into another random folder of its choice. It's like the Distiller is creating its own set of Watch Folders without my consent or permission. All I do is start up the program when I log onto my Mac. When the program finishes booting up, it just connects to a completely random folder and starts distilling. It never connects to the Watch Folders I have created, just connects to whatever it wants when it boots up.

    Certainly weird, but you might want to post in the Acrobat forum as you aren't using Distiller Server (discontinued and never available on Mac).
    Best not to set up watched network folders, there's no way to force a mount to be done, and Distiller is not for sharing anyway.
