SATA Ports 3, 4, 5 and 6 'Not Present'

yeah, basically the title
Had this P67-C45 since February, with an HDD and DVD in SATA ports 1 and 2 - chucked an SSD in recently on the cable the DVD had been using no problems
new SATA cable arrived for the DVD drive today - plugged it into ports 3, 5 and 6 with no result
in the BIOS all four SATA II ports are marked as 'Not Present'
something is wrong with that
please help

B2, but I doubt it's the cougar point issue because these ports have only seen a month or so of use back when I first built the PC and I ran an HDD health test not long before I stopped using them and it came out fine and dandy
If the SATA II controller is enabled in the UEFI/BIOS, then it 'is' a chipset issue. Recommend the mainboard be replaced with a B3. It is possible you may be able to migrate your OS HDD without having to do a fresh install. Depending on your location, a cross ship may be possible that would minimize the down time.

  • Access MP motherboard SATA ports when using Apple RAID card

    I asked this question in another topic and thought I'd have better luck in a separate topic.
    I will soon be the proud owner of an early 2008 3.2 G Mac Pro with the Apple RAID card. I have been given a lot of great advice by the regulars to this topic area who gave me an idea that I wanted to confirm would work.
    Since the internal HDs are connected through the RAID card, that leaves the iPass connector free to connect 4 more SATA drives to the motherboard. The suggestion was made to use an iPass to 4 x SATA cable to gain access. But where to attach and mount the drives? If not the optical bay, the only alternative is outboard, but what to do with the cable? I also learned here that there are two more SATA ports on the motherboard, and Newer Technology makes a cable that attaches to both and mounts in an empty PCI slot hole. Very neat.
    So why not combine the two? I am not certain, but it appears that the connector genders are such that you could combine an iPass to 3 x SATA cable attached to the motherboard to a pair of the Newer Tech cables, then mount them to the PCI doors enabling the user to attach 4 more SATA drives with suitable for another RAID, boot Camp or whatever. Does this seem a reasonable solution? Would love some feedcak on this. Thanks.

    > But, when I install Mavericks to 512GB SSD in PCIe slot, installation finishes without problem, but the system NEVER boot up with that drive.
    It is not uncommon to have trouble installing, cloning, or booting from a PCIe card - though the Sonnet Tempo Pro SSD is one of the reliable ones, still, you should install the OS first on SATA II normally, then move the SSD to its new home.
    The fact the SSD works on the ODD port - have you asked or looked for firmware update or anything from Sonnet and what they have to say?
    With three PCIe cards to contend with, they may interact - not unheard of - and the USB3 may need drivers first to work?

  • Which of my sata ports should I use?

    I have this harddrive [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00471G8CC/] but I want to make sure I'm using the best sata port for it. My desktop is the CQ5720F, here's the link to the motherboard specs [http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02552467&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...]
    It says I have sata 1 and 2 under "internal connectors" but I have 4 sata ports. So that's the problem, I don't know which one to use. Right now I have it plugged into the one labeled "Sata 3". What should I do?
    Thanks, Travis
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The specs are incorrect. All 4 SATA ports are the same and are SATA2.0 ports. I doesn't really matter what port you use, however I would put the main hard drive on #1, secondary HDDs on #2 and #3, and the CD/DVD on #4.

  • MSI 890FXA-GD70 AM3 - Hard Drive in Sata Port 6 Not recognized in WIN7-[SOLVED]

    I just bought this motherboard (MSI 890FXA-GD70 AM3), new memory, case and processor.  I love it.  But while I can put something together, I do not consider myself much more then an experienced novice. 
    Anyway, I bought a 5th hard drive and plugged it into SATA connector 6.  Connector 5 remains unused.  The new hard drive is recognized when the BIOS boots, but in Windows 7, I only show the first 4 drives like always.  I just want to use this drive as a 5th hard drive for normal use and storage.
    I went into the BIOS to see if there was a setting I was missing; read through the posts to see if I could find the answer; and prayed to GOD, but nothing has worked!  I have found nothing on this topic, but then the FORUM is hard to navigate after a while with people not carefully choosing their topic subject name.  (Why do people sometimes post - I HAVE A PROBLEM - without anything in the SUBJECT line to help the casual reader know what they are asking about?)  My searches were fruitless, but then I know the key to a good search is using the right keywords.
    I know this is going to turn out to be a simple setting, but can you help?  Thanks in advance!  And when the solution is presented, I will post back that ALL IS WELL!

    PROBLEM SOLVED!  Found it myself through careful research.
    This is the link that helped me: http://www.ithinkdiff.com/how-to-enable-ahci-in-windows-7-rc-after-installation/
    Apparently, because I had IDE and not AHCI enabled in the BIOS, only the first 4 ports were being identified.  AND because I had not not changed the BIOS to AHCI before the installation of Windows 7, NO obvious way to change the setting AFTERWARDS!
    In part what the post link above states:
    AHCI  (Advanced Host Controller Interface) enables native command queuing and hot-plugging through SATA host controllers (Serial-ATA) for your hard drives. In many scenarios it enables more efficient multi-tasking. Vista was the first Windows OS to support AHCI out of the box, where as Windows 7 does the same. But an issue with AHCI is that if you install the OS without enabling AHCI in the BIOS, enabling it after installation will render your OS unusable. This is because Windows disable the AHCI driver since it is not needed during the installation.
    There is one way to fix this, although you need to have knowledge of registry editing. The detailed steps from Microsoft are as follows:
    To resolve this issue, enable the AHCI driver in the registry before you change the SATA mode of the boot drive. To do this, follow these steps:
       1. Exit all Windows-based programs.
       2. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
       3. If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
       4. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlS etServicesMsahci
       5. In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify.
       6. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
       7. On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.
    After this you’ll have to restart your computer, go to BIOS and enable AHCI. When you log in to Windows again, you’ll notice the installation of drivers for AHCI. Another restart will be required to finish the driver installation.
    I had been trying to select something in the BIOS other then IDE (choices are IDE, AHCI and RAID) to see if that would result in my 5th drive being recognized, but when I selected AHCI or RAID, the OS would flash the EVIL blue screen before it completed booting into Window 7. 
    I copied the instructions here in case the link gets disabled in the future.  This link explained why I was having the problem I was having and how to solve it.
    Thanks to everyone who tried to assist.  I consider this closed.

  • Z97 Gaming 5 - SATA not present??

    Well so far I've had no luck with this motherboard. Tried every single SATA port and it simply won't recognize that my SSD and HDD are installed. Even tried switching from AHCI to IDE, still nothing. Any thoughts? It's a brand new SSD that hasn't even been used yet, states that it's "not present". Cheers.

    The thing is: cheap PSU that you've used in old build is most likely not support Haswell (Refresh) so that might be causing different issues too. And personally: yes I will defend it til the death. Cheap PSU can kill anything instantly, and the fact it works with old system... well. It's OLD system and so is PSU.
    Also you're mixing RAM. This motherboard will work perfectly with either 1, 2 or 4 RAM sticks, never 3.
    I think you should speak to the reseller OR MSI, since you think that motherboard killed all the drives (I wonder how... mobo is connected to them only through SATA cables which deliver NO power to them)..

  • 785G-E53 Randomly disappearing SATA ports and IDE errors

    I'm having an issue with various SATA ports on this motherboard "disappearing" or becoming non-functional randomly.  Shortly after I built the system I noticed that one of my SATA optical drives was not showing up in Windows -- moving it to another SATA connector on the motherboard resolved the issue and I chalked it up to a flaky connector and moved on.  Recently my system started hanging for ~ 30 seconds or so every minute or two and the event viewer was filling up with errors about the IDE port my other optical drive was connected to not being available.  I replaced the IDE cable and things returned to normal.  A couple of days ago I noticed once again that the SATA optical drive (in its new connector) had disappeared.  I have not had time to move it to another connector yet, and yesterday while browsing the web my system suddenly hung.  Upon rebooting, my Samsung 1TB SATA drive could not be found during boot-up.  I tried rebooting several times with no luck.  I turned the PC off for the night.  When I came back to it the next day, it found the drive and booted with no problems.  After immediately backing up any recent data, I reviewed the drive's SMART info (pristine) and then moved on to the event viewer again.  Apparently the IDE errors started a few hours prior to the HD's SATA port going AWOL.
    There appears to be something flaky with the drive controllers on this motherboard, but I'm unsure how to confirm or troubleshoot this further.  Since the problem occurs at POST and boot-up, it is obviously not a driver or software issue.  I do not believe it to be PSU related -- the system has an OCZ 600W PSU and happily ran with a MSI GTX 560 Ti for months previously.  The 560 is currently out of the system and I'm using the onboard graphics, so the PSU is under even less of a load...
    I'm going to be installing a new SSD and finally getting around to installing Win7 on this machine so I would like to resolve any potential motherboard issue first.  I'd appreciate any help you guys can offer.
    Here are the system specs:
    AMD Phenom II x6 1055T
    MSI 785G-E53 motherboard
    16GB DDR3 1333 RAM
    OCZ Stealthstream 600W PSU with 4x 18A 12V (72A combined)
    Samsung Spinpoint 1TB SATA HD
    2x Sony/OptiArc optical drives (1 SATA, 1 IDE)

    To clarify, when I said POST and boot up, I meant everything prior to the bootloader taking over.  In the case of this particular system, multiple OSes are installed, so I have to select the Windows OS before it even starts to load itself.  The errors are present way before this step ever occurs.
    With respect to the drives, it is not always the same drive.  Up until the other day, it was always an optical drive that disappeared.  The missing drive was not detected by (and would not show up in) the BIOS even after rebooting and going into the BIOS to check.  The same occurred with the Samsung HD.
    (I do know not installing Windows from scratch is less than ideal but I needed the system back up ASAP and still had some software that was not Win7 friendly at the time.  Fortunately Acronis True Image handled most of the driver updates/replacements during the restore process and the few remaining I did from within Windows upon the first boot.  I highly recommend their product if you ever need bare-metal restore across dissimilar hardware!)
    Quote
    No way that is 72A combined.
    Look at the label and see how many watts the 12V rail can do, then divide 12-rail-watts / 12v = combined amps.
    Hmmm... I may have misunderstood the label.  Here's what it says:
    Voltage:     +5V     +12V1     +12V2     +12V3     +12V4     +3.3V     -12V     +5Vsb
    Max Curr:    30.0A   18.0A     18.0A     18.0A     18.0A     36.0A     0.5A     3.0A
    It does not list max watts for just the 12V rail.  Total output for all voltages not to exceed 580W.  When I bought it, the rep said add the 12V outputs together, but if that's not right I definitely need to know!
    EDIT: Well, curious about the max amps, I popped over to Newegg and pulled up the legacy product page for this PSU...<sigh> It does not have a very good track record for longevity and, apparently, the 12V rail distribution is practically useless: 2 rails power the 8-pin ATX/EPS connector, 1 rail powers the 2 4-pin PCI-E connectors, and the remaining rail goes everywhere else.  I'm thinking it's a miracle my GTX560 Ti ever ran in this system at all.

  • What do the Ram timings mean and does it matter which SATA port?

    hi
    is it a thread or could you guys add 1. i just bought 2x p55a- gd65 mobos. im sorry i do not build pc's all the time. i buy every few years and try to get up to date tech..
    my problem is. each new tech i go up say kn8 to an9 ddr to ddr2 etc. some of the wording in memory set up changes and or more setting options. im not sure what the 4 main settings are. say i have memory that is 8-8-8-24 and want to make it 9-9-9-24. im not sure exactly which settings to change.. i think 1 settings has cl in the wording- i know what cl is- im not sure of the others.. this lil bit of info added to the manual would help us simple folks a lot..
    well maybe you guys could start another thread- maybe you can sticky them. or put all of this in a general new p55 build thread.. but.
    i noticed in the manual for my 2 new p55a- gd65 and or on the mobo. the satas are stacked 2 in a stack which one is sata 1 and sata 2. its not clear in the manual. i want to guess sata 1 is the 1 closest to the mobo or pcb and 2 is on top.. i have not checked yet. but what about the io plate and say usb. i guess some of them are stacked and maybe a few of them. which is stack 1 or usb 1 and 2 etc. again id guess the 1 closest to the mobo is 1. but what about if it is a few different stacks. where would the count start from top of mobo or the bottom up.. lil things like this can snag us simple folks. but in less than 1/3 of a page in the manual for these issues could be explained with ease or by adding a few numbers to the photos etc. if i remember right my abit mobos always added the lil numbers what ever to the system photos or drawings. it helped to set up the system faster and helped even more us that do not build systems often.. we should not have to guess- a few simple lil numbers on the drawings would be sweet.
    thank you if you guys could start a thread and answer these few things- i know it would help me a lot. i will have the rest of my 2 system builds by the end of the week.. i was just reading on the msi flash drive thingy- its seems cool. as long as my drives like it etc- i have 1x 512mb 1x 1g and 1x 2g drives. im not sure how much space it needs exactly. im not sure it said anything about that. it just said- make sure you have extra space- but not how much? i want to guess my 1 gig drive will be enough. i have to make sure i know what letter it will be called etc.. but i think i will be ok.. i more want to use memtest- i hope my bios will be up to date- or good enough to get it running- but i will check and see what is out and download it maybe burn it to disc etc.. i have a few days to get all of this together..
    * mods feel free to move this post if need be. i started this post here because its memory related or part of it anyway.. im not sure it is threads for these lil things- maybe sticky s in another area. im not trying to take over the thread or anything. im new here..
    thanks in advance.. see ya..

    The timing explanations are all over the net.  For instance, at techpowerup, there is page explaining all the timings.
    http://www.techpowerup.com/printarticle.php?id=131
    An excerpt from the webpage.
    Quote from: http://www.techpowerup.com/printarticle.php?id=131
    Introduction
    Have you ever wondered what those numbers “2.5-3-3-8” or “2-2-2-5” and so on mean? Or have you seen words like “CAS” and “tRCD”? These are the timings for the memory, or the speed at which it processes certain commands. This whole settings area can be quite confusing and you have to have a certain knowledge of it, if you plan on overclocking. But some of you may just be plain curious as to what they are.
    Rated Memory Timings.
        * CAS (tCL) Timing: CAS stands for Column Address Strobe or Column Address Select. It controls the amount of time in cycles between sending a reading command and the time to act on it. From the beginning of the CAS to the end of the CAS is the latency. The lower the time of these in cycles, the higher the memory performance.
          e.g.: 2.5-3-3-8 The bold “2.5” is the CAS timing.
        * tRCD Timing: RAS to CAS Delay (Row Address Strobe/Select to Column Address Strobe/Select). Is the amount of time in cycles for issuing an active command and the read/write commands.
          e.g.: 2.5-3-3-8 The bold “3” is the tRCD timing.
        * tRP Timing: Row Precharge Time. This is the minimum time between active commands and the read/writes of the next bank on the memory module.
          e.g.: 2.5-3-3-8 The bold “3” is the tRP timing.
        * tRAS Timing: Min RAS Active Time. The amount of time between a row being activated by precharge and deactivated. A row cannot be deactivated until tRAS has completed. The lower this is, the faster the performance, but if it is set too low, it can cause data corruption by deactivating the row too soon.
          tRAS = tCL + tRCD + tRP (+/- 1) so that it gives everything enought time before closing the bank.
          e.g.: 2.5-3-3-8 The bold “8” is the tRAS timing.
    (The 2.5-3-3-8 figure is just an example for memory timings.)
    These are the four timings that you would see when memory is being rated. It is in the order of CAS-tRCD-tRP-tRAS. The lower these timings, the higher the performance of the memory. Some motherboard manufactors (DFI for example) list the timings in their bios CAS-tRCD-tRAS-tRP.
    Certain memories can take tighter (lower) timings at higher speeds. These are the more expensive memory modules out of the bunch. There are also other timings to consider in your BIOS. Not all boards will have options like these.

    It doesn't matter which sata port on the same controller you insert a connector.  This is not like the PATA controller where master and slave can be determined by the end or middle connector.

    Isn't this your 2nd post on this? Did you intel rapid storage (raid controller)? Are you able to see the drives in there? Did you set them up as simple drives or w/er you want?
    Did you check in disk manager and assign a drive letter?
    The directions for how to do this are in your manual towards the end.
    The As Media controller ports 7&8 are SATA III, that is what I use for my storage HDD.

  • N97 Memory in use and memory card not present issu...

    Hello,
    I bought my Nokia N97 2 weeks ago from your website. I switched my old phone data over to the new one, transfer few document, music onto the new phone from my PC and updated software last week. It worked for up until now but yesterday I all of a sudden
    - while I was playing music got a message saying files have been corrupted, it stopped playing music and deleted all documents from the E drive.
    - I went into the file manager but I could not access my E: Mass Storage drive anymore (from file manager) as it says 'memory in use'.
    - I connected the phone through USB cable to my PC, select PC suite on my phone but I got a message on the phone screen which said "Memory card not present (USB card may not work as expected)"even though I used it last week. However, while USB is connected, I could see the 'Phone Browser' on my explorer on my PC but no mass storage
    - I have restarted several times, took the battery in and out and tried but no luck.
    - I did a hard reset on the phone (*#7370#), it reset everything but no luck on the E: Mass Storage as it still says 'memory not in use'
    - I tried software update, it refreshes the list and does not update anything when I click on it. 
    - I went to Nokia Care Centre and they failed to fix the issue (after doing a reboot) and asked me to send the faulty phone back.
    I bought the phone from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk - when I called them, they were quite hostile and asked me to email ([email protected]). I emailed but the response time is apparently 5 days. The guy on the phone tells me since the phone is 7 days older they cannot replace it. I called the insurance guys, they said because it is a manufacturer issue its not covered by the insurance. I called the repair centre recommended by mobilephonesdirect, they said if nokia care centre cannot repair it, there is no point in sending in the phone. 
    Now what do I do? Does anyone know how to fix this "memory not present" issue? 

    Hi mate, Not sure how to fix the problem ,but you have the right for this to be sorted. 
    I take it you bought it from a website or over phone,this is classed as distance selling, That means you are entitled to 7 days "cooling off period" in which you can return the product no questions asked. I think this is where they are getting there 7 days from. It has nothing to do with faulty goods.     If the goods are faulty it breached the "Sales of Goods act 1979"  as the goods should be fit for purpose which yours is not. 
    The Sale of Goods Act makes reference to ‘the seller’, this is the shop, the retailer, or the individual you bought it from, and is who you made the contract with. It is not the manufacturer, and don’t let the shop tell you otherwise! If there is an obvious fault with the item at any time within the first 6 months and it has not been caused by wear and tear or misuse, your first port of call must be the shop you bought it from. They have the responsibility to put the matter right, and should not evade this responsibility by referring you to the manufacturer in the context of a guarantee or warranty. Even after this 6 month period, if the item breaks down prematurely , you should always go back to the shop or retailer in the first instance.
    Your statutory rights under the Sale of Goods Act take precedence over and above any warranty or guarantee you may have with either the retailer or manufacturer. It is misleading for a shop to tell you they can do nothing simply because their warranty or guarantee has run out, because you will still have your statutory rights.
    I have an n97 and my key lock slider just came off. I had to argue untill I was blue in the face that it is a fault and not over use (its the most pressed key on the phone) Finally they sent it off for repair for me.
    Hope all this helps a little. There is more info on many websites on Sales of goods act which may also help you.
    Regards
    Jesta 

  • Motherboard SATA ports and Hard Drives?

    Do the SATA ports of the motherboard support hard drives? If so what drives?
    I just tried three different drives connected to the those ports. 2 drives would not allow me to even boot. 1 (the original MacPro drive) would allow me to boot but was freezing the computer.
    I am booting off the regular drive connectors not the motherboard ports.
    Doyle

    You might, it is a tight fit getting those in, but I've done it twice now.
    Or the external case and cables. I'm sure somewhere along the way I forgot to hookup the cables inside a drive case and had to make sure it was getting power, spinning up, and the data cable and jumpers (scsi) was set correctly.

  • Sata port 1-6 not working

    none of the sata port on the side of my motherboard work. only the 4 sata port  place left of ide port work using 1.4 bios, also my d-led isn't working either everytime i install it on the motherboard the computer wont boot up only 3 long beep.

    Sounds like an issue with the Intel ICH10 which controls the sata ports?  I might be having the same problem.
    I added a WD 160 SATA drive and the bios sees it, but the operating system does not.  I used an external usb to attach the drive and vista sees it.
    I was also randomly getting those three long beeps.  I would open the case, detach and reattach cables, check to make sure everything was seated properly....near the end I thought it was that the power cable wasn't in all the way tight (every time I would attach the WD 160 I would pull the power cable first).
    In the end I still can't make Vista see the WD 160.  It's not shown under  Administrator Tools>Computer Management>Storgage>Local
    I can see the dvd drive but not the hd.  The dvd drive is Sata port 6 and the hard drive is port 5.  I tried different ports with no luck.
    I'll prob post this separately, but just wanted to describe it in case any of it sounded familiar.

    ODD: NOT PRESENT

    Is there something specific I should do to get this running again?

     it started giving me this error message "Reboot and select proper Boot Device".
    It is not finding or communicating with the hard drive to boot, most of the time it is a bad hard drive or bios is not set correctly for the operating system.
    f2 to enter the bios then f9 to set bios to the defaults, then f10 to save - then try to start.
    What you are saying the bios reads is wierd?
