MSI PRO-E takes forever to autodiscover the SATA drives in RAID mode

If I change the bios from IDE to RAID, it takes at least a minute to find each SATA drive during the post. Any ideas? The bios is at 8.2 so I'm wondering if a flash to 8.5 would help.
Thanks,
lavesa

I flashed the bios to 8.5 and I still have the same problem. These are older SATA drives so I wonder if it's a compatability issue. Maxtor 6Y120MO drives. They were fine on my old Gigabyte MB with SATA Raid. They are at least 6 years old though.
If I leave the RAID type to IDE, the bios picks up one of the drives quickly. These drives actually have the normal IDE power connectors on the drives.
Any help is appreciated!

Nothing you can do. Presently the Apple servers are overloaded because of iOS 6.

Am having problems emptying my trash. Takes forever and then the contents don't delete. What must i do?

a) Am having problems emptying my trash.
Takes forever and then the contents don't delete.
What must i do? My trash box is full and it's affecting my operating system?
b) Does the items in trash slow down my operating system?

Abu,
There may be something going on with your ownership if the Trash if the files aren't deleting. OK, let's try this:
Launch Terminal (found in Applications>Utilities folder). At the $ prompt, type (or paste):
ls -la
and hit Return. In the right hand column, you should see .Trash listed and to the left, you will see the "owners" name (in my case, clintondyches). If the owners name shows as root then the following will fix the problem. At the same $ prompt enter
sudo chown yourusername .Trash
(replace yourusername with your actual user name - such as mine being clintondyches).
At the prompt $ again, type or paste:
ls -la
If this was successful, you should see yourusername instead of root.
You should be in business now. You should have ownership of .Trash and be able to empty your Trash, drag items to it and empty it, etc.
Call back and let me know...

How much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on?

This may be a really dumb question, but how much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on if all your video files, assets, disk cache, etc are on different drives than the one the program itself is installed on?
The reason I am asking is that I currently have a "relatively" slow Sata II SSD for my C drive that has just my OS (windows 7 64bit) and programs (adobe editing programs, no games) installed on it and nothing else. All of the files used in my projects are saved on either a very fast Sata III SSD or a slower HDD depending on what the files are. For example, disk cache on the Sata III, stills on the HDD.
Being cyber monday I have the opportunity to buy another very fast Sata III SSD to replace my current Sata II SSD C Drive (just OS and programs). Both synthetic and real world benchmarks show a near double in performance. I just want to know if anyone thinks the upgrade is even worth it because for all I know there won't be any increase in performance since no videos, still, cach, etc will be stored on the C Drive.
The alternative is to get a second monitor because I currently only use one 21" monitor.
I suppose another alternative would be to not buy anything on the cyber monday deals and just save money for something else.
Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Alex! I think you are right about not being able to notice the difference between the SSDs. I ended up finding a deal to get about $80 off a great monitor that I've been looking at for a while and decided to pull the trigger on it. I thought about it and realized that there have already been a bunch of times where I want to watch a tutorial on youtube and follow allong in AE or PrePro, but have to keep switching windows. I also frequently want to have my video preview on a separate monitor so I can have a taller timeline window. This monitor will help a lot with that. Thanks again for your help!

2008 - How to make the SATA drives run full speed with Bootcamp and XP ?

Has anyone found a way - after all this time - of repairing a 2006 install of Windows XP SP2 - or in someway fixing the rather slow SATA drive problems?
I have not upgraded to 10.5 - but would if the new Bootcamp somehow (via new drivers??) fixed the problem!
My machine is now 2 years old ( 2.66 4 core ) and I finally need XP's full speed for a project - but most of the posts I've seen are fro 2006 and expired.
Help!
-Glen

And again, my objective to is get 'full speed' from the SATA drives while running XP.

My MacBook pro will take forever to shut off sometimes?

When I want to tern off my MacBook pro sometimes it will take forever to tern off so I have to let the battery drain out and then when I use it again I have to plug it back in?

never....ever.....let your battery drain all the way down.....it can do more harm to your macbook or battery....
once you're up and running - open disk utility and verfiy your disk permissions - repair if needed then restart your macbook.....if problem persists, verify your disk and see if there are any errors....

HT1349 I just got iPad 3 and I am trying to download all app to my iPad it takes forever and for the one that finish downloading, it won't work when i tap on it. Anybody knows what is going on?

I have ipad2 and just got iPad 3 so I try to download all purchased apps to my new iPad but it takes forever and all apps that downloaded are not working, I already restore my old iPad to give it my little girl. Anybody knows what is going on and how cani fix this to have all of my apps to my new iPad. Thank you for reading my question .

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is absolutely safe.
Also try downloading another free app and then try again.

Prompt LOV takes forever to expand the Node on Webi report based on BW Universe

Hi,
We have a Webi report migrated from 3.1 to our 4.1 (BI 4.1 SP2 P2) test environment.
One of the prompt "Vendor" refreshes with LOV in a node structure however when I try to expand the node it takes forever and never opens.
This prompt is predefined at universe level.
Strangely on 3.1 I do not see node structure.
This is on 4.1
Has anyone come across such scenario.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Asif

Since upgrading to OS 8.0.2 my ipad2 freezes, slows down, safari takes forever to open, the celluar network goes to No Service and the only way to fix it is to reboot it and this takes longer than before. Has Microsoft taken over Apple software?

SInce upgrading to OS 8.0.2 my ipad 2 freezes, slows down, safari takes forever to open pages, cellular network goes to No Service requiring a reboot (and this takes longer than before), in summary, I now have a fancy paperweight, i used to love my ipad. I feel as if Microsoft has taken charge of the Apple Software Division.

Sorry if someone sees this post in a different thread; Just want to get some additional exposure.. Who knows, maybe someone from Apple will take note..
The glitchy, unresponsive, slow and outright crashes are something you would expect in a less superior product. I paid what I consider a premium because of the perceived integrity of the company and quality of their products. I am not going to go as far to say Apple ***** and so do their products; but they have to to a better job of acknowledging problems and providing recourse. Right now, it "feels" like they don't care about existing customers. I am not sure of the exact #'s, but I believe products like the Ipad2 represent a significant population of their existing Ipad product base.
So what is my specific rant; If Apple is going to take a long time, or worst, NOT fix the problems introduced in IOS 8 for IPAD 2, give us the option of going back to IOS 7. I would say most everyone was extremely happy with their product running under that OS and would migrate back in a heartbeat. By blocking this option, it feels like Apple is saying that the only recourse is to live with crappy performance, wait forever without any real news, or throw away your Ipad 2 and buy a newer model. Right now this is 100% completely unacceptable, and I, as will thousands of others, will watch how this unfolds when we do buy new products. Most technology products only have short, finite lifespan and I would think it is at very least very important to Apple to retain customer base in a highly competitive marketplace. I'm done...

Satellite Pro A120: I have problems with the graphics driver installation for W2k

I have installed windows 2000 on an A120 the system is fully service packed and up to date before I even begin installing the required drivers I am unable to restart the system. Once I install the drivers as recommended I have problems with the graphics driver as it will not install because it requires a restart and then I am unable to install any new programs that require a restart as the driver has not installed correctly.
The laptop is a A120 Pro, 1 week old and came with XP home, because of this toshiba will not offer me support as I have changed the O/S even though they obviously support 2000 on this laptop as they supply the drivers.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

the reason the driver is not working is down to a problem with the windows 2000 not having the ability to reboot.
When you select restart the system appears to power down then stays switched on. Now if I try to install software I get an error saying that the system needs to complete a restart to finish the install of the driver.
The restart problem happens as soon as win2k is installed as although I have now shipped the laptop to the sales team I have another one which has just had a clean install of win2k without any drivers and the fault is present on this one.
I am thinking it could be to do with power management but I'm not to sure as I have never come across this as I normally purchase machines which accept just about any O/S.

My Macbook Pro will not find or use the downloaded driver for my new Canon Pixma MX479 wireless printer

I have been fussing for hours with a Canon Pixma MX479 printer I received as a gift. The printer was obviously designed for PC control, and has terrible instructions for setting up the wireless capability, but I finally found a few hints online about how to add a WPS printer to my Airport Extreme, so I can finally detect the printer. However, when I try to add the printer, either under System Preferences or while just doing a print, my MacBook requires that I download a driver from Apple to use it. When I attempt to do that, I get a message the driver software is unavailable from Apple and that I should contact the manufacturer for the driver. I have already downloaded and installed the Mac OS driver from Canon twice, but my MacBook apparently can't find it. So I am forced to use Airprint in order to communicate with the printer. I would like to use the proper software to make sure I am accessing all of the features the printer offers. Can anyone tell me how to associate the downloaded driver with my printer when I am attempting to add it?

Hi Dwntso!
Welcome to the Canon Forums and thanks for posting!
So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know any error messages you're seeing either on your computer or the printer, and the version of OS X you've got on your MacBook as well as the way you intend to connect to your printer (USB or networked via WiFi or Ethernet).
Any other details you'd like to give will only help the Community better understand your issue!

How to properly get rid of the SATA drives in "Safely Remove Hw"(systray Icon)

If you have the nvidia ide and or raid enabled (using the nv/sw ide driver) you have the
drives listed under add/remove hw icon in systray .
To have it gone from now and forever use this dword in registry .
Code: [Select]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvata]
"DisableRemovable"=dword:00000001
Open notepad and copy/paste in this , then save it as a reg file , e.g : dis_removable.reg
Double click it to merge into registry.
Do do it manually in registry :
Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvata
Create a dword value named "DisableRemovable" without the quotes and set the value to 1
If you dont have the nvata key (e.g nforce 3 drivers) do the same in :
Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvatabus
Create a dword value named "DisableRemovable" without the quotes and set the value to 1
Before :
Samsungs are in Raid-0 (nvraid/nvata).
The other two is single disks (nvata).
After:
All gone , just the USB left as it should be
If you dont have any fw(1394) or usb removables , the entire "Safely Remove HW" is also gone from systray
Reg files zip:
nvata-removable.zip

I have an external SATA hard disk. edit: using firewire as the connection port
If I use this registry, will I still be able to safely remove my external hard disk?
All sata disks are connected to the same controller ports on the nvidia motherboard ,
the controller doesn't know if it's an internal disk or one externally connected through a e-sata bracket .
So as said earlier (in post #4) : dont use the reg key if you plan add/remove sata disks in general (internal disks or external disks) .
But in your case if the sata hd box is firewire connected it's an external firewire disk from the OS point of view,
so the reg key doesnt affect this drives ability to stop via "safely remove hw" and it will still be there .
It would only affect you if you had sata all the way .

What should the real world transfer speeds be on the SATA drive?

I've getting the following speeds on my Hitachi Deskstar drive that shipped with my MacPro.
I read somewhere that the hitachi drives shipped running at a lower speed and one had to use the tools supplied on the Hitachi website (DOS disk!!) to enable the higher speeds.
This is the reading from Xbench.
Is this correct? 66mb/sec? Isn't this less than Firewire 800?
Sequential 100.30
Uncached Write 108.53 66.64 MB/sec [4K blocks]
Uncached Write 101.51 57.43 MB/sec [256K blocks]
Uncached Read 84.80 24.82 MB/sec [4K blocks]
Uncached Read 110.85 55.71 MB/sec [256K blocks]
Bit of a newbie to drive architecture, but what does the 3gb/sec come from???
Thanks in advance

FW is capable of 800 Mbps.
SATA has a bandwidth of 3Gbps
SATA 1.0 specifies a channel bandwidth of up to 150MB/sec theoretical.
SATA 2.x specifies 300MB/sec.
Compare that more to how Ultra160 SCSI shares or uses that for multiple drives (and there was some overhead and inefficiency that could result in loss of 10-15%).
SATA Port Multiplier controllers can share that 3Gbps with up to 5 drives.
My 10K Raptor has 84MB/sec writes, and about 75MB/sec reads.
Xbench is not accurate.
You might want to take a look at StorageReview -> Drive Performance DB.
Most 7.2K drives, PATA or SATA, are in the 60-65MB/sec range today.

Can a T60 take advantage of 3GB/s SATA drive speed?

I want to put a larger SATA drive in my T60 and am wondering if the T60
can take advantage of the 3GB/s data transfer speeds of some of the newer drives.
Does anyone here know for sure?
Thanks.

only the new SSD can reach that speed, no platter based hdd in laptop can saturate the older SATA 1.5 bandwidth.
