[SOLVED] SATA DVD-RW not in /dev (IRQ problem?)

I have an nForce550 Gigabyte M55S-S3 motherboard, with a SATA HD and a SATA DVD.
I am able to use the HD, but somehow the DVD will not come up in /dev.
Now the HD is present as /dev/sda.
I have played around in the BIOS (as I had to disable some stuff to get sound woring), and I've found that if I disable IEE1394, than Arch will find the DVD drive as /dev/sda, but the HD will be gone (leading to a kernel panic).
Below is the - possibly - relevant part of dmesg. I don't know what the problem might be, but I suspect it's related to some IRQ thing, as enabling/disabling firewire enables/disables the DVD/HD. (Same thing happened with ide/paralell port and the sound card).
Any idea / help is welcome!
EDIT: I've just booted into a Knoppix live CD, with noapic pci=bios, and the DVD was mountable, worked just fine
The same params. did not help in Arch.

Well, after countless reboots, bios & sata cable tweaking, I made it work
I don't know what the problem was, but putting the HD on SATA II 1, DVD on SATA II 2, plus disabling paralell port in bios, the system booted fine [dvd and sound working too].
The strange thing is that Arch thinks the DVD drive is a HD, and tries to mount it at boot, but I'll live with that.

Pioneer sata dvd-rw not recognized

I have a Pioneer sata dvd-rw not recognized problem. I installed a new Pioneer dvd burner. It is Sata. It works fine, but every time I boot into Win xppro sp3 I get the found new hardware, it lists the correct drive and has the error that it cannot be installed. Just have to cancel that message, but yesterday I went to install a new copy of windows on another drive connected to the the pc, the windows cd booted up asked the usual questions and then started setup and message came up and said it could not continue, because there was no cd drive. Once I quit laughing and pointing to the cd drive, I figured I better find out if it came be fixed. I also have a sata hard drive connected internally to the pc. This works fine also. If I boot to the sata drive the sata dvd burner is recognized and it is installed. Works fine. Does anyone want to tackle this one? I tried showing the windows cd where the burner was and expained to it that it was inside the drive already, but it just won't listen. The pc worked fine with the old ide drive. Thanks in advance.

K7N2G sata dvd/rw not working

Hi, i'm wondering if the promise controller supports sata dvd writers.
I connect it but can't see it inthe sata bios.
It was working great on my lanparty NF2 that i sold yesterday.
Thanx

"Hi, i'm wondering if the promise controller supports sata dvd writers."
no, they are not supported.

SATA DVD Writer not detected when AHCI mode is selected in BIOS

I just finished setup my rig and I can't get the motherboard to detect the Sony SATA DVD Writer (connected to 1 of the ICH9R ports) in AHCI mode. As soon as I switch to IDE mode everything is fine. I have tried changing the delay in the AHCI menu but it doesn't help.

Which BIOS version are you using, with BIOS 1.4 & 1.6 I have had no problems running my liteon SATA in AHCI in P35 Platinum (same PCB as yours), it is known that some optical drives don't like AHCI. If you havent already I would suggest trying one of the BIOS versions I have used that should tell us if it is the BIOS or the drive.

K9N2 Diamond Not Recognizing SATA DVD Rom

I just though I would try to post here to see if anyone had any ideas as to what might be the cause or if I should just RMA the board and hope it gets resolved.
To sum it up I have a PC that doesn't always like to reboot (not a problem really as I don't like to reboot it except for when getting updates) and will not recognize the DVD drive plugged into the SATA ports. Originally I thought it may have just been a flaky optical drive as it worked long enough for me to get the OS installed and everything set up back in late June early July. However for some reason Windows XP Pro x64 and the BIOS stopped recognizing the optical drive. Since I thought it might have just been a flaky drive I didn't worry about it too much as I had everything set up - was just annoying that I couldn't watch DVDs (but I could just go to the other room to do that so not biggie). On Saturday I bought a new DVD drive (one that could play Blue Ray disks figuring since I have my monitor hooked up through an HDMI cable why not also have the capability to play Blue Ray disks) and the same problem exists. The BIOS will on a rare occasion actually recognize the DVD drive however as soon as it reboots again it will not and even when it did recognize the DVD drive by the time Windows loaded up it didn't pick up on it.
I have tried all four SATA ports in combination with my SATA hard drive (and alternating between six different SATA cables too) but a vast majority of the time if I have both the hard drive and DVD drive plugged in the PC will not boot up - it just seems to hang (and sometimes doesn't want to let me into the BIOS).

I haven't tested with a third DVD drive simply because I don't have a third :(
The original DVD drive (an OEM Sony Optiarc Beige 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD/CD Rewritable Drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118033) was what was being used while I was installing everything and was the drive that I was noticing wasn't always showing up in Windows Explorer (well more often than not wasn't appearing, but it seemed to last long enough to get all the initial installations done and I really don't used the ROMs much past that). At the time I thought it might have been that the drive just went flaky and ignored it because I didn't use it.
The odd thing was it was also causing headaches when restarts were required for the same reason - the PC would freeze up on the motherboard splash screen (lack of a better term presently) where it normally does the POST tests (I think I am remembering that correctly .... when all the beeps takes place) so I unhooked the SATA connection to the motherboard for the drive and then the PC would actually reboot normally without the hanging. This made me also think it was the drive causing problems.
I've been running without any optical drive hooked up for a couple months now, but with getting my copy of Windows 7 I was getting ready to install that and picked up what I thought was the needed fix in a new DVD drive however when hooking it up the same problem started up again. This time when trying to figure out a setting that actually worked I rotated through all six of my SATA cables (motherboard came with extras ) and rotated them through all four normal SATA slots. Well actually I tied all six slots but it didn't seem like the BIOS wanted to pick up on slots five or six (the E-SATA if I recall correctly) as having devices (when I had the HDD and DVD Drive in slots five and six it said it couldn't find a bootable device).
I'm at work now so I can't double check in the BIOS but I am pretty sure it is just set for SATA since I don't use RAID or AHCI - I'll check again on this when I get home though.
The oddest thing about the whole thing (to me at least) is the lack of consistency with the BIOS recognizing the devices (well the DVD drive anyways). I would have thought that if it recognized the device (which it has from time to time) that it would keep on recognizing it, but it seems to want to forget that it did recognize it even after it did by the time Windows loads up.
It does not seem to have any problems when only the SATA HDD is hooked up though.
If it really is the MB being flaky I think I would only have four options:
1) Buy a SATA PCI controller card and see if I can get things up and running that way - though this wouldn't solve the problem if the motherboard is flaking out and not 100% sure what it would do for installing new OS quite yet .... not to mention be a little odd when there are 5 other open SATA ports on the motherboard)
2) RMA the motherboard and hope a replacement/fix can be made and be without a PC for the duration
3) Not upgrade to Windows 7 and sit on that upgrade till whenever and also have a new expensive paperweight (if I take the ROM out of the PC)
4) Get a new MB .... really don't want to pick this one since I built the thing tail end of June/beginning of July (just was slowly ordering the parts for longer than that .... I really need to stop doing that - kills possible return chances)
Of course I can also hope it is something else that I am just missing and that none of those are needed. I actually built my setup based on what a friend of mine has since his is/was pretty solid.

SATA DVD BIOS sees it but XP does not

I hope I have the forum right, Motherboard markings are: MS-6743 Ver 1.1
I think this makes it an 865GM2/865PEM2 but much of the text in this forum talks about changes in BIOS settings that I do not see.
Problem: I have a SATA Plextor DVD drive that I can't get XP to see. The BIOS detects it Ok which seems to imply the cables must be connected Ok. In XP though, there is no sign of either the drive or any mention of SATA in device manager / disk controllers. Nothing in disk manager either.
PC is Pentium 4 3.2Ghz hyper-threading, 1GB DDR, 52x IDE CD, 2 IDE HDDs.
Does my SATA support oprical and how do I get XP to see what the BIOS is seeing?

Thanks for the quick response. The Native mode part is set in the BIOS. The ther settings I do not see. Does this mean I should upgrade the BIOS? If so, any chance somebody could point me at the correct latest version for my board?
The boot-up sequence is so fast, I don't know how to see my current Bios version?
Its an optical DVD drive I'm trying to get working via SATA, booting is not a problem - its just that XP does not see my new DVD drive via SATA.

For some reason OS X disks (whatever edition or flavors) that are supplied with Apple products only seem to contain a limited knowledge of available hard drives on the market at the time of thier publishing. This (rather opportunistically) creates a "Best Before" stale-OS X-software-copy situation where upgrading to or replacing a defective internal SATA hard drive with a newer, better or larger one is a largely hit and miss affair.
If you buy the latest and greatest disk drive available for any older Mac you are likely to run into unresolvable problems making a clean re-install of your own, old edition or flavor of OS X onto any newer or larger hard drive since the OEM (gray) "OS X Install Disks" that Apple supply with retail products seem to contain only time-sensitive lists/mapings of then-known target drives that the Drive Management Tool in the then-published old "Installer Software" will support.
Presumably new (colorful "X") retail versions of OS X (10.whatever.whatever) also contain time-limited Installers with limited knowledge of and adaptability to/compatability with a limited number of old hard drives then kicking-around on the market.
This is especially a problem nowadays since the countless "puny old" hard drives that have been on the market are largely obsolete in a few months time, as manufacturers continue to produce larger and cheaper units, discontinuing older puny products... So if your drive fails you need an exact old (or similar familial) replacement drive for your "backup copy of OS X" to do a fresh, clean OS X re-install. Otherwise you need to purchase a new retail version of OS X, since yours is now effectively obsolete. Purchasing an old, puny drive to re-install your version.flavor of OS X to avoid buying a new version of OS X is a rather false economy.
If you still have a working old hard drive with your old polluted 10.version.flavor of OS X still working on it you apparently must clone it with Time Machine or the newest version of Disk Utility (disk image copying) to most newer, larger drives, and a clean reinstall to such new hard drives is not possible.

K8T NEO-FIS2R & SATA DVD not working

I've been trying to get a plextor SATA drive working with 3 other SATA hard drives, 2 of which will be in RAID. Problem is I can't get the DVD drive to be detected at all by the onboard promise controller and the VIA 8237 controller seems to be stuck in RAID mode so it also refuses to run the drive. I've tried updating the BIOS to 2.0 in hopes that it updated the controller BIOS.
Has anyone been able to get SATA DVD and hard drives up using only the onboard controller?

Can I add a sata dvd drive to foxconn mcp73m01h1

Compaq sr5450f product kj383aa#aba,{Personal Information Removed}--motherboard foxconn mcp73m01h1 has receiver for four (4) sata connections. I assume thta I can use one for an added hard drive --but can I also use one for a sata dvd rw drive? The original dvd drive was pci not sata. I would think I need the data cables. Am i correct?
This question was solved.

Hi:
That shouldn't be a problem at all.
Yes, you will also need to have an available sata power cable near where the drive will go, and a sata data cable of the appropriate length.

SATA DVD RW issues with K8N Platinum

Hi
I have MSI K8N,(939-pin) Platinum-SLI, Mother Board (AMD 3200+, 1.25GB RAM, 80GB SATA HDD).
On my system I am facing trouble with SATA DVD- Writer (Samsung's 22x, S-223F/IDBH), as it can read all supported disks but unfortunately it is unable to write/burn CD/DVD in any format since I purchased this DVD writer . Surprisingly this very same DVD writer works perfectly with any other Intel's machine for both reading & writing functions.
"However the DVD writer with IDE cable works fine on my system without any change or any exclusive setting anywhere."
Following measures I have tried but failed to burn any disk with my SATA DVD writer
1. Reseted the BIOS to default/reset to factory setting.
a) Verified that both of the SATA controller were enabled.
b) Verified that RAID was Disabled.
2. Swaped & connected the DVD writer SATA cable to the port in which the HDD SATA cable was plugged in.
3. Repleced the complete DVD writer from Samsung Service Center.
4. Updated the Nero from 7.X to 8.X on the system
5. Tried to burn disks with other freeware disk burning tools. (e.g. "Burn Plus", "Burn free" etc).
6. No other Optical drive was attached.
7. Updated the firmware of DVD writer from samsung's service center.
In all the cases of attempting to burn disks, I found either of the following errors
Error Message 1
Invalid block address
Invalid write state
Could not perform EndTrack
Burn process failed
****************** OR *****************************
Error Message 2
Invalid block address
Writing short lead-out
Session fixation error
Burn process failed
Kindly help me to resolve the issue. :(
Thanks

You didn't mention if the DVD drive showed up in your bios. Look in "Standard CMOS Features" , you should have a list of all devices attached to the ide and sata ports.
you said the drive will play music, is the sound analog (through the small sound cable connected between JCD1 on your motherboard to the DVD drive, or are you getting sound digital (sound signal coming from the DVD through the sata cable)?
Is this a replacement DVD player, an upgrade from a CD player, or a brand new install?
Which Operating System are you using? In the past, I have had cd/dvd drives that some how got set up in the os only to play music and would not read or write data discs.
I fixed the problem by removing the cd/dvd drivers from the system and reinstalling.
I am using or have used LG, Sony, and Aopen BD/DVD/CD drives on this motherboard (K8N Neo2 Platinum).
"Ya Scottike , following are my observations
1. I 'm able to see all connected drives connected through sata ports (i.e. HDD & this DVD Writer) in BIOS under "Standard CMOS Features".
2. This DVD Writer is absolutely working fine for all reading functionality.
(It plays music are you getting sound digital (sound signal coming from the DVD through the sata cable)).
3. No Other Optical Drive is attached.
4. Currently Windows Vista Ultimate is installed.
Note: I have also tried with Windows XP + SP2 earlier on my system, its gives same error whenever tried to
burn any disk with this DVD writer.
5. This is a brand new DVD writer.
Hope I have answered all your queries. Please let me know what can I do to solve my purpose.

Hi,
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Vista
Check if the drive is now working.
If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

DVD 1270 not being seen in xp to install at start up windows 7

DVD 1270 not being seen at startup in xp to install windows 7. Boot order works - the machine sees a cd but not a dvd. Installed latest driver for lightscribe from this site. Also tried two other dvds - one a hp 1160 which works on another machine it sees the dvd on other machine running w7 but not on this new one - ASUS mthrbd P867-M Le. ASUS says it is the DVD and to try another. Seems like it may be a config issue. Any ideas? Thanks

Well, if the drive is good, then try a different SATA port. It might be that the OS is looking for the drive per the BIOS and it is not on the SATA 0 port. BTW: Does this motherboard have 6GB SATA ports? Do not use them for DVD drive.

[SOLVED] New install does not see SSD drive

Ok, I have a DFI motherboard which at first did not recognize my new Intel SSD drive I have installed. After updating the BIOS, it now correctly recognizes it. However when I run the 2009.2 cd and try to prepare the drives, it does not show any drives listed?
/sbin/fdisk -l
does not show any drives either so it looks like arch cant see any installed HD's which makes since, but the motherboard does show the new Intel SSD as a Sata drive right under my DVD player?
Any help?
Edit: I hooked up my old Seagate drive and it shows up fine. Any idea on why this SSD is not playing nice?
Solved: I have come to the conclusion this has nothing to do with the Arch install, but is simply a hardware issue with my motherboard. I installed the SSD drive in my wifes pc, it seen the ssd as a sata drive while booting, it seen it when arch was initializing, it seen it when I did a fdisk, and when i finally tried to install, it was there too!!
So there must be some issue with my old DFI MB. I will work on that or upgrade..Thanks to everyone who helped out...

I had trouble with my throttle device not making contact with the data lines when connected to USB.
I assume the SSD has the same connector as the motherboard and the cable can be reversed end to end to test for performance.
I use a multimeter to verify the presence of power to the device.
Sata cables are known to be flaky.
Throttle devices use 5vdc power from USB connector and are connected to esata cables at the same time since sata ports do not supply power. The connections for throttle are on opposite ends of the device.
I am not familiar with the SSD power setup but assume it is 5vdc as well.
No other suggestions here..................
Yes, the cable should be able to be reversed as the ssd drives are identical compared to normal sata drives in respect to the cable connections: one sata data connection and one power. I will try some different cables and see if that helps. I did try a new port on the mb which did not work, and when i used the current cables on my older seagate drive it worked fine

XP Prof installation on Tecra A9 PTS52E - SATA HDD is not recognized

Hi all,
I have a brandnew Tecra A9 (PTS52E) with Vista Business installed. However, I need XP Prof and have a slipstreamed XP-SP2 CD. The SATA Disk is not recognized from XP setup, so I need a 'F6' driver.
There are a lot of howtos about doing this for the 945 chipset, but I couldn't solve this on my A9 (Mobile 965 Express Chipset). I don't want to buy a USB-Floppydisk drive just for one-time-installation. So I have to build the driver (iastor.sys and more) in the XP setup disc.
Some problems: there seems to be no easy way to do this, because intel only provides *.inf files for the ICH8R (=RAID) controller, which doesn't exist in the A9. So I have to edit the *.inf files, correct?
Another thing: I saw in another posting here the discussion about switching from AHCI to compatibility mode in BIOS. I can't find a way to change this setting.
Aargh, I need this Notebook for my work, on a A8 (which also is mine) I installed XP without any problems.
Can anyone help?
Thank you,
Michael

Hi,
now i have a new problem: the last reboot after installation finished leads to bluescreen and immediately reboot (so I can't see the stop-message)
During installation the reboot from Harddisk works.
But so far:
you need the latest Intel Chipset Driver:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/T8Clearance.aspx?url=/13499/a08/infinst_autol.exe&agr=N&ProductID=2800&DwnldID=134 99&lang=deu
Next you must extract the files in a temp directory:
IATA75 _ENU.exe -a -a -pC:\temp\AHCI
Now edit the file iaahci.inf:
you have to change all the ICH8R related entries (R means RAID, which isn't supported in that A9 version of the chipset) to ICH8. Also change the related PCI-device IDs from 0x8086h/0x2821h (Vendor/Device ID) to 0x8086h/0x2824h.
The best way I think is to copy all ICH8R related sections and replace "ICH8R" with "ICH8" and "2821" with "2824".
As you need the driver during installation, you also have to change these settings in txtsetup.oem.
The next steps I found in a ASUS forum (they have similar problems):
create a new (personalized) installation CD for Windows XP
STEP 1: Modify the original XP installation files
a) Copy all the files and directories of the XP installation disk to your hard drive
Ex: form D:*.* (your installation CD) to C:/XP/*.* (your HD)
b) Create the following directory path:
XP\$OEM$\$1\drivers\SATA
c) Copy all the files of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (see solution I) to that directory: XP\$OEM$\$1\drivers\SATA
iaAhci.inf, iaAhci.cat, iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat, iaStor.sys, and TxtSetup.oem.
d) Copy iaStor.sys to XP\i386 directory
e) Modify the file TXTSETUP.SIF located at: XP\i386
=> You can read and understand what you are doing reading Adding OEM drivers to Windows Setup at http://www.windowsserverx64.com/CSK/technical_articles/hardware/56.aspx (really nice article form Robert. Thanks)
Use: notepad.exe to edit it.
e.1) Under [HardwareIdsDatabase] add the following lines
right after GenFloppyDisk = "flpydisk"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2821&CC_0106 = "iaStor"
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2824&CC_0106 = "iaStor"
and before PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1230 = "intelide",
Note: dont touch any other line. Be carefull, the name iaStor => is case sensitive.
e.2) under [SourceDisksFiles] add
iaStor.sys = 1,,_x,4,1
Note: There are several [SourceDisksFiles] sections. I added the line in all the existing sections.
e.3) under [SCSI.Load] add
iaStor = iastor.sys,4
e.4) under [SCSI] add
iaStor = "Intel(R) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH8M-E/M)"
Note: If your controller is a different one, use the right one. Read the contents of the TxtSetup.oem file for more information.
f) Create a new file called (use notepad) WINNT.SIF and locate it at: XP\i386
[Data]
AutoPartition=0
MsDosInitiated=0
UnattendedInstall=Yes
[Unattended]
UnattendMode=ProvideDefault
OemPreinstall=Yes
OemSkipEula=Yes
NoWaitAfterTextMode=1

[GuiUnattended]
OEMSkipWelcome = 1
[UserData]

Note: Use your own product key
Now use a tool to create a bootable CD. I prefer "AutoStreamer" because I also have to slipstream SP2 into my XP Prof. CD.
With it you generate an iso image. Burn it to disk and that's it.
Like I've said: installation works well, just the last reboot from disk creates a bluescreen and therefor a bootloop.

Michael
