SATA DRIVE and drivers

My pc, as seen in my signature.
I'm using a sata drive, the floppy disk i got with the motherboard.. do i need to install it??? because i don't use a raid setup because i only have 1 maxtor 80 gb sata drive on sata1 installed.
So.. do i still need to install the floppydisk?

You said you were running a SATA drive. If you installed the update from the floppy that came with your board. I really don't belive you will need a floppy.
What did you do about the boot setup in your BIOS, did you disable it?
I had a floppy in mine for a while but now I have taken it out and disabled it. I could be wrong but I really don't see a need for it. Even the BIOS updates can be installed from windows XP.

Sata Drive and the KT6V Motherboard

Hi all, Wondering if anyone could help me. I just got a new PC and am setting it up as a server. Now I have a 40G hhd running the O.S. which is windows 98se ( I know its old and has problems but it should work fine) I also have a 120g WD SATA drive that i want to use as a storage drive. ( I have a set up on my other pc this way) but windows does not see the Sata drive and when i try the raid setup I see the Drive but i cant do anything with it. My mother board is a KT6V and all drivers and programs are loaded. I can use the Raid Tool and see the drive it says its working but again I cant do anything with it. Just wondering if this is the way this MotherBoard runs or if there is a setting im missing. Thanks for your time.

Hello,
Win98se,
How did you format the 120GB sata drive?
With the KT6 boards, if you have only one sata drive and enter the Sata ROM, you cannot choose any options, That is normal.
Must be using FAT32 for win98se.

Mac Pro Compatibility With Older SATA Drives And DVI Connectors

I soon plan to replace my 5 year old G5 with a new Mac Pro and need two questions answered so that I will know what options i have for the transfer of older data and apps. The Apple web site for the Mac Pro includes the following paragraph which gives me reason for concern:
Your Mac Pro includes four drive bays, allowing you to configure it with
up to 8 terabytes of storage using 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s drives, up
to 2 terabytes of storage using high-performance solid-state drives, or
any combination of each type of drive. Configure each drive bay
separately.
Does the phrase "using 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s drives" mean that the Mac Pro will ONLY work with 3Gb/s drives or that it performs best with 3Gb/s drives?
I currently have two internal SATA 250/300 GB Maxtors (Maxtor 7Y250M0 and Maxtor 6B300S0... both are 7200 RPM but I don't know the data transfer speed). Ideally I would get a Mac Pro with a single 1 TB drive, move one or both of these older SATA drives to the new computer, one temporarily and the other permanently in order to transfer data and Apps to the new machine. If this is not possible then the new machine will need to wait until after I get a new larger FW external drive to use as a data transfer medium (I had planned to do that anyhow). I need to do some advance planning for this so I need to know what to expect in advance. I noticed this possible wording ambiguity on Apple's description of the Mac Pro long ago, but now I need to find out the answer for sure. Apple, you need to be more specific with your words.
Can anybody answer this question for me?
My second question regards display connectors. Does the standard (no bucks added) display card include a standard DVI connector or only the newer Mini-DVI connectors. I think I see a standard DVI connector in the low res picture of the back of the Mac Pro but am unsure. My 5 year old Apple display bit the dust a year ago and I had to replace it with an HP 2009m display (mumble grumble) which does use a standard DVI connector. A new Apple display is too rich for my blood so I plan to continue using the HP display for now and need to find out if I will need a display adapter to go with it.
Many thanks to anyone who can answer these questions authoritatively.
For anyone who asks why I still run 10.3.9 on my G5, I can only answer response speed. New OS versions always act like a lead anchor on a machine with their added overhead and Tiger really does feel like a ball and chain tied to me... it just does not reaspond as fast as I do. I look forward to the speed of a new machine.

Does the phrase "using 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s drives" mean that the Mac Pro will ONLY work with 3Gb/s drives or that it performs best with 3Gb/s drives?
Any commercial sATA drive will do just fine. 7200 RPM is not a requirement.
WD "Green" drives have caused user complaints about "long delay until ready" when installed inside a Mac Pro, but are fine for backups.
You are making the leap from PowerPC to Intel Mac. Eventually, you should re-initialize your old drives to GUID partition table for best responsiveness.
Migrating your System will not be possible. Use the pre-installed System or Install a new System on a GUID-partitioned drive with the release DVD in the box.
Migrating your Applications is a Bad Idea. You should plan on re-installing all your third-party Applications from their release discs.

SATA Drive and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring

I have two HDs in my 865PE Neo2 FIS2R system. I have the S.M.A.R.T. drive monitoring enabled in the BIOS.
One HD is an IDE (parallel) drive and the other is a SATA drive connected to the serial port on the MB.
At bootup the IDE drive reports the S.M.A.R.T. status but the SATA drive does not.
Is there any way I can get the SATA drive to report?
The SATA drive is my system drive if that makes any difference.
TIA, Rich

Quote from: Maesus on 03-January-07, 10:27:19
Rich, as long as your SATA drive plugs to the SATA Port that belongs to ICH, you will get the SMART status displayed by the utilities as suggested above. But if you put the SATA drive on a 3rd party controller, ie the Promise RAID controller, you won't be able to access to the SMART status.
ps: to be honest, SMART is not that smart to tell you that your HDD has turned bad... your HDD would just fail to be detected, before the BIOS able to warn you via the SMART status...
Not always true, I've had SMART warn me a couple of times that a drive was about to fail - i backup the data - and the drive DID fail soon after ...
Offcourse it won't be able to detect all failures in time - But every bit helps

Using slower SATA drives for FRA and archivelogs

1. I am looking for some advice on storage tiering on a SAN for my oracle database. I currently have a SAN with all 15K SAS drives and I am looking to expand on the SAN and add a bank of SATA 7.2 K drives. I would like to locate our FRA including our oracle “disk to disk” backups and our archive logs to these 7.2 SATA drives and I was wondering what if any effect this would have on our production database?
2. Also I was also considering placing a development instance entirely on the 7.2K drives and was wondering what to expect for performance regarding this?
Thanks

Thanks for the link. And on page 30: "The weakest link determines the IO throughput."
Of course, this ballpark back of the envelope rough approximation can be blown apart by a couple of plan changes in the sql. And the sql is the most common reason for performance problems.
Speed of slower disks can make a difference, which difference can vary based on how close to saturation the I/O is. In a lightly loaded system, reports and such may simply take twice as long. As either cpu run queue lengths or i/o wait times increase, things can go south fast. If a development system is not a very close copy of a production system, it may be difficult to replicate performance problems. Of course any little thing can do that too. It's kind of rare in my experience to have a close hardware copy, YMMV.
Craig Shallahamer and Cary MIllsap have written some books you may be interested in if you haven't seen them. Find Cary's "Thinking clearly about performance" paper.

Can't load XP onto SATA drive

I have a problem with a new system I am putting together. The MB and HD are new and I do not suspect either of them to be the problem. I formated the HD with Maxtor's program and it seems to go fine. I can load the 6 floppies and start the CD for XP. The HD appears in the boot sequence. I can not find anything in the BIOS that suggests it supports SATA, even though I looked everywere. When I try to load XP it goes OK until it asks where you want to do the installation and at that point it suggests there is no HD. This is the only HD in the system. Any suggestions would be appreciated because MSI support is closed for the weekend and I want to work on this over the weekend.

Tried another SATA disk and it does not show in My Computer or Windows Explorer either. I know the new disk is good because I took it out of another working computer. One thing though, I did not install any of the critical updates, so I assume it does not even have SP1, does that matter?
Back to the BIOS question. One of the above replies suggested making some changes to the BIOS and those options are not there. I tried the key combinations and they did not bring up new menu options either. How much effect does the BIOS have on the SATA drive? Does it need the update to make it SATA compatable as far as the options? Sorry to be such a bother, but this is my first experience using the SATA that gave me a problem. I put togther a system for my wife and used a SATA drive and everything was seamless.
ensure you have running XP with SP2. and sis chipset drivers are installed.

Sata drive problems

right my dilema is this i have buit a new system and everything works fine, finished it off by buying a couple of maxtor sata drives, a 200gig for storage and a 120gig for boot/os.
maxblast3 i cannot get to run from cd or floppy but it runs fine from windows so i am able to see the drives and format them etc.
saturday i spent best part on 12 hours trying to install windows xp on the 120 and everytime i was defeated, and finally got off with it, so cracked a bottle open
ok then install process was
boot form cd
xp cd in drive
mobo sata drivers in floppy ready
press any key to boot from cd
wait abit
F6 to install extra drivers, done that ok
cd activity copying files over ready to install
your pc will reboot in 15 seconds
boots up fine, don't press key to boot from cd
bang my problem begins
the screen reads like this " press any key to boot from cd........error loading operating system"
anyone else suffered this and managed to get around it ? this happens "everytime"
so the next thing was to try the 200gig even though it was not recognised as 200gig (137) and install xp so i done exactly the same as above and everything went fine xp installed no problem. however i don't want xp on this drive as i do not want to partition it and it is too much messing round to get windows to recognise its true size.
the 200gig is a diamondmax +10 ncq 7200rpm sata/150 it has no molex and no jumper place on it.
the 120 is a diamondmax +9 7200rpm sata/150 now this drive has a molex plug and a jumper place like an ordinary drive, it also has a sata power point and sata connection point. it look exactly like an ide drive with ide plug pulled off and sata point put on it i thought sata's did not need jumpers ?
another thing i have noticed....in your system tray you have an icon like a little grey box with a green arrow above it that you use to safely remove hardware like usb stuff etc my drive shows up in there ?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...orbog/sata1.jpg
anyone got a sata 120 gig as a boot drive ? what make do you have ?
my pc spec is
msi k8n neo2 mobo
1 gig dual channel ram
amd 64bit 3200 winchester cpu
antec neopoer 480w psu
plenty cooloing
msi 6600gt 128mb graphic card
using ide drive at the mo
hope this makes sense, thanks for any advice
forgot to add the 120 works fine as generic storage drive just can't get an o/s onto it.

Quote from: BWA on 14-February-05, 11:18:17
Just threw that into the discussion to see if it would lead anywhere. I'm using Hitachi sata drives and they are the same as the IDE drive with an added chip foir the sata (think that is why they still have the old style power connection along with the sata connection)
my system's based on the same mobo (k8n neo4) with only one Hitachi80GB sataII hdd... and i have the same trouble like 'gravies': i'd get windows to start install (with help of drivers off floppy; by F6) but when it reboots to actually set up the system it hangs... not recognizing the boot files written on my SATAdrive = or the drive itself...
Did you somebody resolve this problem?
It's driving me crazy already 4 looong days... (first i also had faulty floppy../

Urgent - No 64bit Promise SATA driver (not RAID)

I'd already installed XP64 on an old PATA drive without problems, so today I decided to use the new VIA SATA drive to dual-boot it off my SATA drive, along with my main XP32 installation. Unfortunately, although it found the VIA driver at F6 and got to the GUI install it locked solid at Devices. Worse than that it's totally screwed all the boot files so I now can't get to anything on either the SATA or PATA drives, and blue screen on any attempt to boot either drive. That's 4 OS installs gone.
I moved the SATA over to the Promise controller thinking I'd seen 64bit Promise drivers for weeks, but it seems these are only RAID drivers and are called "Promise FastTrak 378 (tm) Controller". Needless to say they don't find a single SATA drive. What I need would be the driver called "Promise SATA378 (tm) Controller" but I can't find it. Have Promise really released a RAID driver but no single SATA driver for the same controller???
If I don't find it I guess I'm looking at 4 days spent formatting and reinstalling.

Hi Jocko
OK, I'll try explain (and remember!)
First I installed XP32 on the lone SATA drive. No problem as it was the only drive.
Then I added an old PATA drive, which BIOS and Windows Setup always sees as Disk 0 and the SATA as Disk 1.
I then installed XP32 onto the PATA drive. No problem, I think it was because Windows saw it as Disk 0 as it put the MBR in the right place.
I then put Server64 and XP64 on the PATA drive to test them (leaving by day-to-day install safe on the SATA drive. Again, no problems, it updated the MBR correctly to let me multiboot between the 3 OSes on the PATA drive.
I then tried to add an install of XP64 to the SATA drive, but because I left the PATA drive connected, Windows setup updated the MBR of the PATA drive instead. On subsequent reboot it failed because it was pointing to the wrong drive (I think). So I had half an install on the SATA drive, and a boot.ini on the PATA which pointed to a non-existent half installation. Even with BIOS listing the SATA drive as the boot device, each time the PC restarted it tried to carry on the installation and of course failed.
That's when I had to refer to my book on Recovery Console...
So it seems that if multiple drives are installed, it will update the MBR on the lowest ID drive, which is not necessarily the drive the installation is actually going on to! I think!

[Athlon64] CAN'T SEE SINGLE SATA DRIVE / K8T NEO no Promise controller

I have a K8t NEO -the cheapskate version with no PROMISE SATA controller or on-board Firewire
I have been running on XP SP2 on 2 IDE drives, everything is ok. I added a SINGLE SATA drive and turned the VIA SATA controller on in BIOS. I did the MSI Live Update and have the latest VIA SATA driver, latest chipset, latest BIOS, latest EVERYTHING. At boot, the VIA SATA controller reports my Hitachi SATA as Channel 0 Primary" in the SATA devices table. Going into the SATA RAID menu it tells me "You can't make RAID with just one drive" which is true, of course. But the point is the controller SEES the drive.
I've run MSI Live Update and have the latest BIOS, latest SATA XP driver, latest EVERYTHING.
Windows XP doesn't see the SATA drive.
In XP I see a VIA RAID CONTROLLER in Hardware / Device Manager which is DISABLED. When I right-click then click ENABLE on the VIA RAID CONTROLLER the machine reboots immediately. I tried safe mode, same thing. I tried BIOS settings of "No PNP O/S Installed" and "Yes PNP O/S Installed" and reset the NVRAM. No change.
I think there must be an IRQ conflict.... I have a sound card (on-board sound is turned OFF in BIOS) and AGP video card, and that's it- no WiFi NIC or anything else to eat up IRQ resources. I use the Realtek on-board ethernet.
I tried my Windows 98 partition and that booted, detected the new hardware (VIA SATA) and I installed the driver from the MSI CD and Win 98 is happy with the SATA drive..... it sees the drive just fine.
How do I make Windows XP see the SATA drive?

Have you tried starting XP with CD and entering recovery, log on as admin and see if SATA drive is there? Remember to "F6" with a floppy drive of SATA drivers for
-XP-... I'm assuming you already have as you said all is uptodate. When the boot BIOS for the VIA SATA apprears and you press "TAB" I believe it is, you can mess with the SATA functions. Sorry if does not apply to your compy or you've already done all this.... BTW you CAN run a RAID array with one HDD, at least thats what I did on my Promise controller.
In my Device Manager under Disk drives it looks like this (notes bracketed are noting position):
Promise 1+0 Stripe/RAID0 SCSI Disk Device (Bus Number 0, Target ID 1, LUN 0 (G:\ 1-160GB IDE Seagate/notice ONE drive)
Promise 2+0 Stripe/RAID0 SCSI Disk Device (Bus Number 0, Target ID 0, LUN 0) (F:\ 2x200 SATA)
ST3160023A (Location 1 (1) VIA IDE D:\)
VIA SATA RAID 0 SCSI Disk Device (Bus Number 0, Target ID 0, LUN 0) (E:\ 2x120 SATA)
WDC WD800JB-00CRA1 (Location 0 (0) VIA IDE C:\)
Under the boards BIOS, is the SATA drive listed under the BOOT table??? In my system it lists the above 5 partitions (7 HDD's total), floppy, 2 CD/DVD drives, etc...
Oh also in Device Manager IS the VIA SATA controller appearing in the "SCSI and RAID controllers" tab??? I have set mine to just SATA before and of course now it says "VIA SATA RAID Controller"... for you it should read "VIA SATA Controller". Remember there are 2 different drivers for the SATA controller, one for SATA and one for SATA RAID. Look on your floppy disk or if you saved out the updated driver. I made a new floppy with the latest XP drivers. When booting from WINXP CD, and promted for "F6" and press it, later it will show you TWO different drivers after reading the floppy disk for XP. You obviously want the non RAID driver... hope that helps somewhat... g'luck

Sata drive not deteced

i have winxp installed on my ide drive and i add a sata drive and partitioned it. winxp detected just fine but i just did a format of my ide drive. after i installed winxp and the via drivers i still dont see my sata drive in My Computer. plz help.

yup... sometimes better goto the original chipset's websites for the drivers, sometimes I also found that MSI provided drivers maybe way too obsolete or just wrong drivers posted...

SATA driver install in an already built PC

Hello:
I have to briefly add a SATA drive to my system (see below) to recover some data from it. I have no SATA drives in the system now and have not installed the Silicon Image drivers. Do I need to do this or is this strictly for RAID applications. Right now the SATA is disabled in the BIOS. Would I just enable it and install the drivers from the CD when XP detects the H/W? I have 2 PATA drives in there right now. One of these would be removed to temporarily make room for this SATA drive.
I'm running XP home SP2.
Thanks very much

Yes, you need to enable the device first, then install the drivers. After all that, shut down the computer, install the SATA drive, and reboot. Assuming it is a specific RAID controller, you will probably have to enter some sort of RAID configuration utility during boot up (watch for it) and specify the drive. I know I had to specify a single drive in it's own RAID0 on my ASUS A7V8X to get it to work. After all that is complete, you may have to partition the drive and format it, so If you already have info on the drive that is needed, I would back it up on another device.
Again, this assumes that it is RAID specific. It may not require any of the above other than drivers.

Asmedia 106x SATA Driver install

I run the install for the Asmedia 106x SATA Driver install for my Z77A-GD80 motherboard. The install appears to complete successfully. When I go back and scan my computer with the MSI Live Update program, it shows the old driver still in place.
Any suggestions to get the install to run successfully?

MSI K8T Neo2 issue with SATA drives....

I have a K8T Neo2 motherboard, with a 3700+ San Diego core, running Windows XP Service Pack 2. I don't have the version with the Promise SATA Raid - using the VIA SATA RAID. I am using the latest BIOS (according to the Live Monitor).
The machine was set up (the OS installed) on an IDE 40 gig drive. All was fine, but I noticed that my machine lagged at times (mostly games, under heavy disk load) so I decided to get a couple of Seagate 250 gig drives (they have NCQ, which I know is not supported by this MB, but they were on sale, and I'd read that the drive should still work ok).
I attached the drives, and enabled SATA in the bios. The machine boots fine. I created a single 500 gig striped array using the two new drives. Windows XP sees the array fine, but that I have to initialize it.
Every time I initialize it I get an error that says, "An error has occured" and tells me to check the event log (nothing there), and to either restart the Disk Manager or reboot my computer. The OS actually locks up a few times when I'm doing this (the mouse-cursor freezes).
I've tried using the disks as two single disks, same error (and it reported that they were only 137 gig each, though apparently it's a registry issue, and I used a util to change that setting, but I haven't tested to see if it changed anything.).
I got the latest VIA SATA drives from the MSI site, and installed them (though honestly, WindowsXP saw the card and the drives just fine). One weird thing is that the VIA SATA RAID is listed under SCSI devices in the Device Manager - there is no SATA category in there.
I'm at a loss here. I've searched the web, and this forum, without luck.
Any advice would be appreciated.
*Edit* I just unplugged two IDE disk drives from the computer, and when I started it up again, it found a Promise SATA Raid controller. I thought that wasn't included with the basic version of the board?
David.

Ok - thanks - I read through the stickies and updated my bios tonight to 9.20 (the latest).
Had some dry-mouth moments when WindowsXP decided to "discover" every piece of hardware I had, right down to the mouse, and again when core-center rebooted my computer.
Also, there was some time where my memory (OCZ 2-3-3-6 DDR3200) was being set to CAS2.5, which was kind of weird, but it fixed itself.
Unfort, I am unable to increase my FSB/HTT speed past about 205 before my computer does a reboot.
I have an ATI video card (X800 Plat Ed), and I'd read that some other people had issues with ATI card and the AGP-lock, so I got the CG-ICS950405 clock-gen, and it does state that my AGP is running at 66 (and PCI 33).
Going to bump up my settings via clockgen as soon as I post this (want to post before it potentially crashes).
Should I roll back to the 9.10 bios? Not a lot of discussion on the 9.2, and I'm wondering if it causes some issues.
Thanks again for all the help and info. I used to have a firm grasp on all the components of a system, way back in the P3 days, but things have changed quite a bit...
**EDIT**
Seems to be a Core-Center issue. Used ClockGen to o/c to 2600, with temp nice and low. Will run like this for a bit. Does Core-Center work with a 9.X bios?
I think all my problems are solved - copied a wack of files to my SATA drives, and there were no issues. I won't trust Live Monitor again for drivers or bios - it's still stuck way back at 3.30.
I'll pass the info I've learned off whenever I can.
Comments and criticisms welcome.
David.
Quote from: Puppetman on 26-September-05, 23:23:42
I looked at the motherboard page - they recommend 3.30 unless you have having issues (which I kind of guess I am). Funny that Live Monitor won't pick up those BIOS changes - wonder what else I'm missing.
So 9.1 fixes the AGP/HTT overclocking issue?
The stickies are great - thanks.
David.

K8T800 Neo-V V1.0 - SATA Drive Problem

Hi everyone,
I'm becoming a little frustrated with my computer at the moment because it's being very tempremental with regards to detecting my Western Digital 500GB Sata drive. Most of the time it doesn't recognise it, but earlier on today (or rather yesterday now) it did show up on my XP O/S which I am currently running on a small IDE drive.
I normally use my WD 500GB drive as my main drive, and a 200GB Maxtor IDE drive as a storage drive however, my SATA drive suddenly developed a problem with VISTA which kept me from viewing my desktop. After resetting the bios to the default setting I installed XP Pro onto a smal IDE drive so that I could update the bios drivers for my mainboard. However, I have the most recent drivers for everything, but my SATA drive STILL won't show up. It takes a long time for the mainboard to boot after searching for IDE drives (which I assume is searching for SATA drives) and then it boots XP from the IDE Drive
My question is, how the hell can I get my XP installation to recognise my SATA drive again. I managed it once, but ever since then it's vanished. I have jumpered my SATA drive to run in 150mb p/s but did no luck. Also changed my 'On-Chip SATA-IDE Controller' setting in bios to SATA but still no luck
Can somebody PLEASE point me in the right direction? I'm usually able to sort simple things like this out - but this one has me at the end of my teather
I'm also running bios version 5.10 (Which is VERY different to the previous version that I've been used to)
Many thanks in advance,
Adam

I intend to, but I don't have a cable spare. You only provided one with the mainboard and so I will have to go out and purchase another cable. We'll see what happens and I'll report back soon.

What bios version is best and most stable?
Which works for you.
What was your BIOS version and what's current version installed?
Also ID your mainboard, look here for details ==> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=113146.0
or paste mainboard serial number

Well find it from somewhere.
Also some moments are not clear to me:
* Does this HDD worked before fine in your machine?
* What was your final action before issue to come?
* When the HDD is "missing" in your OS, does the BIOS detect it?
* Do you flashed your BIOS before issue to come or not? If yes provide info about your old version and current BIOS installed.
