Sata Problem - Read/write

I've been searching thru the forums and haven't found anyone with a similar problem. Trying to install a new Maxtor 160 Gig SATA HDD. Bios will recognize it and so will Win XP. The problem is I've only been able to tranfer a small amount of files to the drive (20 - 30 meg) before system locks up and drive becomes unuseable. Will ususally get an error in the taskbar notification area stating "WINDOWS - Delayed Write Failed" and that there was a problem transferring data, all data lost. After a computer restart the new drive will not show up in explorer or disk management.
I've tried all the legacy and native modes, SATA at P0, IDEs at P0. I don't OC. Performance Mode set at slow.
I've installed Windows with just the SATA drive but it was unstable and eventually after a few restarts loses boot files and will not reboot.
 After getting fed up with it I returned the drive assuming that was the problem but the replacement is no different.
The only thing I can think of that there is not enough power which would really me off since I bought the new power supply when i upgraded with the motherboard.
I've included the PSU specs below.
Any help would be greatly appreciated since I haven't got a clue when it comes to the power requirements.
THANKS

PSU  -  ISO 450W

Running with 3 case fans plus motherboard and ATI fans

Thanks for the info.
I've tried 2 different SATA cables and there's only so much room in a case for keeping cables apart.
I've got a wireless router in the same room but no wireless card in the PC. Wireless used for a laptop. Can't see how or if that would affect it.
Turned off the write caching on the disk, still nothing. Have to re-partition and format the drive again to get XP to recognize it. Turned off caching. On restart, once again have problems getting into explorer and if when I do new drive is gone.
Whenever the SATA drive is connected and not working, the HDD activity light stays on, can shut down but not restart the computer.
Anyway thanks for your help. Unless you or someone else has anymore suggestions, I going to assume the problem is with the motherboard and return it for a new one.

    could not initialize the application's security component .the most likely cause is problems with files in your application's probile directory.please check that this directory had no read/write restrictionsand ur hard disk is not full or close to full .It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem.if you continue to use this session ,you mightsee incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features....THIS IS THE ALERT I GET WHENEVER I TRY TO OPEN FIREFOX.

  • Can't Read/Write to External HDD-Permissions Problem

    I have external Seagate HDD, formatted as FAT32, connected to Airport Extreme Base Station. I am unable to Read/Write to this Drive because Finder says I "Don't have permissions" to do so.
    Following are details that may be important:
    1. I was able to read/write to this drive under Leopard but lost the right under Snow Leopard, after upgrade to SL.
    2. In Airport Utility, I set up (2) accounts for the External HDD, "Dad" with "Read/Write" access and "Mom" with "Read" access only. I have Guest Account privileges set to "Read Only". It has been this way for (2) years.
    3. Under "Get Info" in Finder, the only account listed is "everyone" with "read" permission only (this is same as Guest Acount in Airport Utility). I am unable to add new accounts because I get error message "The account name is not valid" even though I am using the account name that I am logged in under.
    4. I can change the Permissions on the "everyone" account (in Finder) by changing the permissions on the "Guest Account" in Airport Utility. When I do this, "everyone" in Finder now has "read/write" access but my two accounts, "Dad" and "Mom still don't show up in Finder.
    5. I also upgraded internal HDD to 1Tb and used Restore from Time Machine. I hhad problems with the restore and did new install of Snow Leopard.
    Any ideas on how to make Finder show the two accounts I have set up in Airport Utility?

    My apologies for bumping this but I still don't have a solution...any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Read/write problem with Datasockets.

    Hi, I'm a newcomer to Labview, and I'm having a problem with Datasockets. When trying to create a 'Publish & Subscribe' socket between two machines it only works on one, the one whose dstp address is the local machine, the other being incapable of writing to this 'host' and displaying red LEDs, although it is reading from the host. Also I've only managed to set up these read/write connections using the right-click options, how is it done programatically? Any clarification on the issue (whether directly connected or not :-) would be appreciated. Many thanks,
    Tom

    Hi Lector!
    This is normal behavior for DataSocket. You want to run a DataSocket server on both machines. Although you can SUBSCRIBE to a DS server anywhere on the network, you can only publish to your local server. We do a LOT of Datasocket work here, and this has never been a problem. It's a real security bonus, as well.
    It's a good idea to split all your read and write functions. Although some front panel objects (knobs, particularly) can be controls and indicators simultaneaously, it's good practice, for a number of reasons, to NOT use both functions. I build "dummy" front panels for all my VI's which I distribute to all my colleagues who need to work with a remote instrument.
    You cannot really appreciate DataSocket, till you've tried to rem
    otely control something with PC Anywhere over a slow network! A bit of practice, and you'll wonder how you ever did anything without DataSocket. I'd be glad to work with you on any particulars. Good Luck!

  • Problema di polimorfismo con Read/Write delle Shared variable

    Salve,
    Cercando di modificare l'esempio di progetto "Shared Variable Client/Server" in un progetto dove sono i diversi client a mandare dati al Server ( ovvero l'esatto contrario di quello che fa )
    mi sono inbattuto nel problema illustrato nelle due figure che seguono.
    Ovvero, sostituendo "Writable PSP Variable" ad "Readable" nella scheda "Connect"(FIGURA 1) mi da un errore nella scheda "Read/Write" (FIGURA 2), ovviamente anche qui ho sostituito a "Read Variable" un "Write Variable".
    Mentre utilizzando il Data Socket funziona, ma non mi sono chiari i vantaggi e gli svantaggi nell'utilizzare quest'approccio.
    Qual'è la strada migliore tra Shared Variable e Data Socket per creare un sistema Client/Server così costituito, ovvero con un cospicuo numero di client da servire ( destinato a crescere  )che mandano simultaneamente un discreto quantitativo di dati ( circa quelli di una seriale a 115200bps ) ad un server

    While using the Data Socket works, but I have clear advantages and disadvantages of using this approach.

  • Javacomm read/write problem

    Hello all, i have successfully installed javacomm package in my computer and i can enumerate all available ports. My problem is between the read - write communication. By running the SimpleRead first and then the SimpleWrite i got a "Port Already in use" which sounds normal to me, so i connected 2 pc's with a serial cable and runned one of sun's samples on each.
    Step 1. SimpleRead waits for data on COM1
    Step 2. SimpleWrite(on other pc) sends some data from COM1
    Both COM1's are connected with that serial cable but seems no data coming. Am i doing something wrong? I tried same thing with VirtualPC but still no data arriving.
    Any help appreciated. Thanks

  • Problems using AVI read/write example

    I would like to test some vision processing software I wrote by reading an AVI file rather than a live stream. I found the "AVI read/write example" mentioned on this forum and it sounds like exactly what i need, but I cannot get it to read my avi files. When I run the example read VI, it says "An exception occured with the external code called by a call library node". Doing further testing, I found one AVI on my computer that would work, all others crash the VI. Another odd behavior is that the "avi init read" subvi will return the wrong frame rate for some AVIs. I have tried both compressed and uncompressed AVIs all in RGB format. I have also tried different frame rates and encoding options for my AVI file with no luck. I am just a stud
    ent, so buying software is not an option for me.
    Has anyone had problems reading AVIs with this? Are there AVI encoding options that will make this VI work?

    Hello,
    I think the avi functions that you get are VFW based, it can not read
    any format of compression codec. But it should be able to read
    uncompressed AVI files. But anyway, if you can't get IMAQ-vision 7.0
    avi functions to try (I don't have, I don't know how it works), you
    can always get my IVision to try out. In IVision, there are two groups
    of avi functions. One is called "AVI functions", they are VFW based,
    so not always work for all kind compressed avi files, but I have
    another group called "Media files", the functions there work for all
    format compressed AVI files, including mpeg, asf, avi... you can
    access the frame image by using a callback vi (example included), seek
    the media position, change play rate, etc.

  • When I start Firefox, my computer slows to a crawl; the problem is that between every operation, the disk reads/writes for about a minute.

    I have an old (~6 yrs) HP laptop running Win XP. I've scanned for viruses, deleted temp files, etc, and defraged the hard drive. After doing a fresh boot, all works OK until I start Firefox (3.6.6), and then every mouse click sends the hard drive into read/write mode for up to a minute. Just writing this memo has taken eight minutes; going to my bank site and setting up a transfer (about 12 mouse clicks) took 16 minutes (!).
    Things other than Firefox continue to be plagued by the same problems, after starting and closing Firefox. Opening an Explorer window can take up to three minutes. Closing Firefox doesn't seem to solve the problem - I need to reboot to do that.
    Any thoughts?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode (above). Wait a few minutes, then close Firefox.
    Is there still a problem?

  • Problems with Buffered Read() - write() cycle

    URGENT!!!
    I have two network hosts communicating through Socket.
    i need a cycle of read/write until an escape string is written ("QUIT").
    BUT after first readLine() it stucks on blocking method, doesn't read anything!
    why?
    so my code look like this (i cut out initialization and boring parts):
    BufferedReader input;
    BufferedWriter output;
    String readString = "";
    while(read!="QUIT") {
    output.write("mySentence");
    readString = input.readLine();
    }THANKS

    you are all right, but I do use newLine() just to have the line separator.
    the exception is always the same (this afternoon it didn't result in an exception... ):
    java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failedI really can't figure it out...
    moreover, I don't understand which side generates the problem, since one side is an Applet.
    Again, the curious thing is that before the cycle they read and write (just once) normally!
    I post the actual part of the code, in order not to create misunderstandings...
    of course I used EITHER the "\n" OR the newLine() but not togheter...
    server side the method is called within a thread class...

  • Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please ck that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full.

  • Using javascript to call a signed applet's read/write functions problem.

    Hi, I wan't to use javascript to call the read/write functions of my signed java applet.
    The applet can read/write fine, if its called from inside the applet, but when I make public functions to do the read/write and then call those functions from javascript, i get the old security exception.
    Has anyone done this before?
    Thanks

    From what I understand is that for example file IO can only be done if the current method
    has this privilege and the stack that called the current method had this privilege.
    Javascript doesn't have any privilege and calling methods that do file IO directly from
    javascript should not work, this bug was fixed in 1.4.2.
    The workarround AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction() { might allso be
    fixed in later versions since changing the privileges of currently executing code is
    someting that should not be possible when the currently executing code is called from
    "untrusted" (javascript) code.

  • Destination u have specified does not have read/ write access- FCP 7 to Compressor problem!

    Hello everyone,
    I finally got a video finished in FCP 7, and sent it to Compressor.
    When I try to add a templete (any template, but particularly the Youtube), I get a red || Source    ! || message and when I hit the submit button I see: "The destination you have specified does not have read/ write access. Check to see if the folder is set to read-only, or check your write privileges."
    What the?
    I'm using Apple ProRes 422 files.
    I tried looking at the video files themselves, with Control + I. It looks like I have "Read & Write" access to me. I'm not sure what to do.
    I also tried looking in my preferences for Final Cut Pro stuff, and it was empty, so nothing to erase. I also repaired disk permissions with the Utility application.
    Well, thanks for any help.

    I haven't tried to save to any directory.
    As soon as I send the sequence from Final Cut to Compressor, I am prompted to drag the settings to the destination... but it won't let me submit it for the "read/ write" reasons above.
    So I never get the opportunity to save it, I just close out Compressor and go back to Final Cut Pro.
    I'm wondering if it has something to do with the scratch disk files. I converted the MOV files into ProRes files and keep them in my documents, then I just dragged and dropped them into the browser. I'm wondering if somehow this is affecting things, because I can't even find a scratch disk folder with files inside.
    I also tried to look at my Final Cut Pro preferences file, but I had no idea what I was looking at so I just left it alone.
    I really appreciate this by the way.

  • Read write problem

    I had a code that was working perfectly until recently. Some part of the VI where it reads and write does not work. Does anyone have the patiece to actually go throught the code and help me. I am a beginer with LV.
    When we make an exe using LV 7.1, all the source files are pretty much on the exe, correct? So, if I go and copy that exe elsewwhere, the source files should open correctly, right? I ask this because it seems that the files from vi.lib may have got displaced and hence it does not read/write.
    Help required urgently.

    You didn't post your code for anyone to look at but I'm goint to guess that you did not take into account that paths are a bit different in the development environment and in the run-time. If you use a function like Get Current VI's Path, in development mode, it will return something like c:\folder\example.vi. After the app is built, it will return c:\folder\app.exe\example.vi. So, to get the path to the folder, you need to do an extra strip path. This is an extremely common mistake and there is a knowledge base article (that I don't have the link to offhand) and there have been numerous posts with the exact same question. There are a lot of ways to handle this. The one I usually use is to put in an application.kind property node and wire the output to a case structure. Put the extra Strip Path in the Run Time System case.

  • Vdbench 5.04 - Solaris - read/write profile problem

    Hi, I'm trying to simulate a read/write IO profile to a raw disk. Have a Solaris 10 x86 server connected to a VNX over Fibre Channel.
    The profiles are spread over IO sizes ranging from 512b to 128k but I've tried getting this simplified version to work without success.
    I am using Vdbench 5.04. This is my parameter file:
    sd=sd1,lun=/dev/dsk/c3t60060160C43034009EF8FCAE1522E311d0s2
    wd=write,sd=sd1,readpct=0,xfersize=(4k,50,8k,50)
    wd=read,sd=sd1,readpct=100,xfersize=(4k,50,8k,50)
    rd=test,wd=(write,read),maxdata=4.5g,elapsed=3600,threads=50,iorate=500
    I have a dtrace script (iosnoop from the DTraceToolkit) running monitoring the I/O.
    From the output of the dtrace script I am seeing no 8k reads or 4k writes.
    The statistics from the VNX show the same results as the dtrace output so what is being written to the LUN is correct.
    Is xfersize the correct way to simulate a range of I/O sizes or is their a mistake in the parameter file?
    Any help appreciated :-)
