Trouble installing WinXP on a SATA drive on K9MM-V Mainboard

I am having some trouble trying to install WinXP on a K9MM-V. I have put a 250Gig SATA 300 drive set to 150 in channel 1 and an SATA DVD drive in channel 2. The BIOS appears to recognize both drives, but anytime I try to access the HD during the boot process I get this error:
Verifying DMI Pool Data ….
A disk read error occurred.
I set the CD as the first in the boot sequence and ran the WinXP installation and then installed the SATA PIDE drivers at the f6 prompt. When I chose the IDE emulation (non-raid) WinXP only recognized 135GB but then was able to format. When I rebooted, (having reset the BIOS boot order to HD first) the error appeared.
When I installed the RAID drivers, but let the SATA mode remain as IDE, Windows recognized the full disk, ran the format, but on reboot I had the same error.
I’m pretty sure that I have some BIOS configuration wrong, but I can’t seem to figure it out. Any advoce on things to look for would be appreciated.

You need to use XP SP2 in order to install on BIG drives.
OK, I thought that I would install XP sp1 then update, but I guess you need to slipstream the patch in. On the other hand, that disk read error threw me. It looked like it happened before Windows tried to load.
Thanks.

Portege M400: Can I install a Western Digital SATA drive?

Can I install a Western Digital SATA drive in my Portege M400?
I've tried and failed.
I can copy the system resore CD to the new HD but the result is a blue-screen failure when the system boots.
I can't get a clean install of Windows XP to even start -- the HD is not recognised despite using the Toshiba SATA/RAID drivers from a floppy.
I've tried using Norton Ghost to copy an image of the existing (working) HD to the new HD but that also results in a blue-screen failure.
Is there something proprietary about the SATA?
Will the laptop only work with the original HD?
Will a replacement (larger) Toshiba HD work?
-ne

Power down the notebook and start it pressed ESC key.
On the third bios page (pg down) you find the raid configuration.
I assume you actually have already the RAID setting but it is not really written to the HDD.
At first remove the RAID and change to JOBD the password confirmation 1234.
Save settings und reboot. Enter bios again and change it from JOBD to RAID (again 1234).
After this your HDD will work fine!

Windows 7 Clean Install won't detect SATA Drive

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my desktop that is currently running Vista and XP on a dual boot. I want to eliminate the dual boot and do a clean install with Windows 7. I have a Western Digital SATA drive WD2500KS. If I try to install "custom" it will not detect the drive and wants to load drivers. If I try to upgrade it shows the drive and both partitions and want's to know which partition. I ran the Windows 7 compatibility program and it shows the drive and no issues pertaining to installation. How do I get a clean install to recognize the hard drive? Processor is Intel Core2 Quad CPU 2.4 Ghz.

What machine is this? homebuilt or OEM?
Do you have a Dell computer? It appears that the built-in Dell SATA drivers aren't recognized during the Windows 7 extraction portion of setup (when your BIOS is set with RAID Autodetect / AHCI). Might also work for a non-Dell PC:
note: you should install the latest BIOS update from Dell's support.dell.com website first, or your manufacturers website for a non-Dell computer.
1. Boot into the BIOS (press F2 while the Dell splash screen is showing, will be different for a non-Dell).
2. Go to Drives > SATA Operation. (will be different for a non-Dell)
3. Change from "RAID Autodetect / AHCI" to "RAID Autodetect / ATA".
4. Press escape, choose Save / Exit.
Also, play it safe, shut down your PC and disconnect all USB devices (except the keyboard / mouse, they do not need to be disconnected) before trying to reinstall.

Do I need to install drivers for a sata drive?

I have K7N2 Delta2-LSR and it came with a sata raid driver floppy disk. Mine is just a single drive on which I want to install Windows. I read some where that it is not needed during windows installation unless I want to setup a raid system. Is this correct? My sata drive shows up under the external device icon, the small green arrow icon on the system tray. Is it suppose to be like that or is it because I did not install the sata drivers during windows installation? Any advice please?

What brand and model of SATA drive are you using? I had two other posts on this issue because one model of Maxtor drive that I tried works fine and another model does not work at all.
My configuration is like yours, I currently only have one SATA hard drive connected to this machine. There are multiple PATA drives on the machine and they all work fine together.
Seeing your post made me do more research on my motherboard. Until now, I thought the SATA controller on this board was not capable of RAID. I know know it is, thank you silverferro and Stu

I want to fit a SSD to my 21.5 3.06ghz mid 2010 IMAC; Is it possible to install the current 500gb sata drive into my older 20inch A1224 IMac?

My A1224 20 inch Imac has a damaged HD, so I am wondering if the 500 gb sata drive installed in my mid 2010 imac can be installed as I am looking to upgrade to SSD and would like to make use of the 'spare' HD.
If t.his is not possible can someone recommend the best drive to by for the older mac?
Thanks

My recommendation for the older drive would be to use it to create a bootable backup, that way you would have 2 backups. Your basic Time Machine backup and a redundant (very good idea for backups!!!) bootable drive. All you need is an expensive enclosure which you can find for less than $30.

I am having trouble installing a Roland UM-One driver that is supposed to be compatible with this OS (10.7.1). Any suggestions?

Well, let's hope that nothing was jiggled out of place when you were installing the new hard drive. Your optical drive may just be out of alignment or the disc you have is "dirty." Get a lint-free cloth and some rubbing alcohol, then clean the disc as thoroughly as you can starting from the center and working outward in a concentric circlular motion. See if that helps. In particular clean the inner portion well.
If this does not help, then you have a problem. You have opened the computer yourself. That action voids all support from Apple. If you take the computer in for service the store may refuse to service the computer. This is not related to your now expired warranty.

Install OS on third SATA drive

I have three SATA drives in my Mac Pro, I can install Mac OS on either of the first two drives, but the third drive, which I just installed in bay 3 appears in the installer with a stop icon and says that the system cannot boot from this drive.
I first tried with the third drive divided into six partitions, but when that didn't work I made it back into one but still the stop sign.
Does this make sense?

The installaer requires that the partition map scheme be set to GUID Partition Table. To set this go to Disk Utility and click on the Options… button in the Partition tab.

Trouble installing WinXP - keyboard not recognized?

I'm trying to install XP on my iMac. I have partitioned the hard drive with Boot Camp and then I start to install Windows. It seems to be working but when it gets to the screen where it asks me to select the partition I want to install Windows on, I cannnot select anything. Pressing the Up and Down arrows does nothing. The entire keyboard seems not to be recognized, as pressing any keys has no effect. I have to turn off the iMac with the power switch and restart.
Could it be that XP doesn't recognize the Apple keyboard that came with the iMac? It's a 20", 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo.

You don't say if the Apple keyboard is wired or bluetooth. A bluetooth keyboard doesn't work at this stage of the installation because the bluetooth driver is not installed. You would need a wired keyboard (and mouse?).
2nd problem. What size is your partition? If it is under 32GB, Windows will happily install to a FAT32 partition. Boot Camp creates a FAT32 partition of any size that you set it at. I don't know why XP does not give you the option to format NTFS but that's normal. All is not lost. Later, after the installation is completed, XP has an option for you to switch to NTFS in the Manage This Computer area.
To avoid WinXP automatically starting to install to the FAT32 partition, remove the Boot Camp partition and create a new one that is larger than 32GB. It will still be FAT32 but XP won't install until it demands an NTFS formatting.

Trouble installing snow leopard after hard drive replacement

My imac hdd died last weekend. And the replacement hdd came in today.
I went through all the steps in this guide https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+21.5-Inch+EMC+2389+Hard+Drive+Replacemen t/6284 And I am pretty sure I did it all correctly.
However, after plugging my imac back up it gave me a flashing folder with a question mark. I took this as it asking for a os disk to install with so I put my snowleopard disk into the imac. The folder with the question mark turned into the apple logo.....and that's it. It just stays on the apple logo and nothing happens. I tried leaving it like that for a good hour. But nothing changed.
What am I doing wrong? My imac is a mid 2010 model (emc 2389). I'm pretty sure the included os on it was Leopard. Do I need to try and find my Leopard disk that was in the box? I'm not sure where it is and all I have at hand is my Snow Leopard installation disk. And if I do need to use Leopard, how would I do that if I can't find the disk my imac came with?

With the Snow Leopard DVD in the drive, Restart the Mac while holding down the "C" key. It will then boot from the DVD drive, a slower process for sure, but not more than a few minutes. Once booted, you can use Disk Utility to verify that the new internal drive is formatted properly, GUID. Some new drives come pre-formatted as something else.

Just installed a new 1tb sata drive into an old g5. Now what is the best practice to use it?

Hey all
My old g5s memory was full so installed a new internal drive. I have so far partitioned and named it so it is on the desktop because I saw that in a youtube vid. I'm wondering if that was the best thing to do to use it and if so how should I go about using it since my other drive is full and much smaller at 80gb.
Thanks for any help =]

Best way to get an exact bootable copy of your old drive to the new one is with Carbon Copy Cloner...
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
Or SuperDuper...

Then boot from the new bigger HDD by setting it in System Preferences>Startup Disk.
BTW, what size Partitions did you use? OSX loves lots & lots of free Space.

Having trouble Installing OS on New Hard Drive

I just tried to Install OS X on my new Seagate Momentus 7200.3 HD with the install disk that came with my new MBP. When I get to the prompt where it asks where you would like to install OSX no drive location is showing up. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Mesaprs86, Any luck with that drive? I just got the same HD and the new MBP. I also bought an enclosure. I'm completely new to OSX. I have not even turned on the computer yet. Do I install the new drive into the computer and then install the software from the cd? Or do I have to copy the original HD to the new one in an enclosure? I've looked at the videos online, but they all seem to be aimed at people who are replacing a drive that already has been used for awhile. What is the best way to do a completely clean, new install. What did you end up doing Mesaprs86?

Having trouble installing and configuring new hard drive

I bought a larger (320GB) Hitachi hard drive for my T61, to replace the 100GB that came with the computer. I had no touble making the physical installation, but can't boot up and use the new drive. I:
--used Acronis software (True Image 11 and Disk Director) to partition the new drive. The new partitions are proportionately larger than on the old drive.
--copied files from my original HD to the new one.
--tried, unsuccessfully, to boot up from the new drive.
--tried Thinkvantage software, but it wouldn't (1) recognize any external drives (USB HDD or my backup drive, also an external); (2) let me change the order of my boot devices (I get a synbtax-challenged message: "All items on this menu cannot be modified in user mode...[C]onsult your system supervisor." Well, *I'm* the "system supervisor," and I still can't get the program to let me edit the boot order).
I have tried to boot the new drive from original OS software (XP Pro), with no success. Same deal with Acronis's emergency book disk. At the moment, I'm letting Thinkvantage reformat and (maybe) reinstall everything that was originally on the factory computer. Whether it'll actually do this on a new and larger hard drive, I guess I'll eventually find out. If it works, I'll then try to restore my real files with Acronis.
Has anybody else had to deal with this exciting sequence of events?
--Fred Powledge

Lets start afresh. First do you want an XP or Vista system on your new hard drive? Do you know if the recovery disks you got with your system are for the operating system you want on the new drive?
If you bought a Vista machine with XP downgrade Vista will be preinstalled on the system and it gets delivered with XP recovery disks. The opposite can also be true the machine is delivered with XP installed and with Vista recovery disks. Iin both cases if you want to upgrade to a new hard disk on the preinstalled operating system you must first yourself burn recovery disks for the preinstalled system. Start -- All programs -- Thinkvantage -- Create Product Recovery Media, first disk must be CD the last two can be DVDs.
When you are sure you have the right set of recovery disks XP or Vista, boot from them and let them format the disk. They will automatically install the service partition and use all the remaining space of the new hard drive for the C partition. When I think about it even for Vista on the T61 there will be only two partitions C: and a hidden partition for the RnR service partition. The S and Q partitions only apply to the new T400/500 -- I should not have mentioned them.
If its the recovery disks that were delivered with the machine that are the right one for the op sys you want on the new hard drive and they dont produce a bootable system -- call Lenovo support and get new ones.
The details for Acronis I can't help you with -- I used my Windows home server backup when I restored my C: partitions on the new hard drives both on my T500 and my T42. Just be careful you dont mix up which is the old and new C: partition so you dont destroy the C. partition on the old hard disk by mistake. But as long as you don't point Acronis to the old hard disk the worst that can happen is you have to rerun the restore to factory settings on the new drive once more.
T500: Vista 32, 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM, 15.4" 1680x1050, 500GB 7200rpm, ATI Radeon HD3650 + Intel 4500MHD. T42: XP, 1.7GHz, 2GB RAM, 14.1" 1024x768, 250GB PATA, ATI Radeon 7500.

NB200-10p - Can't install Inter Storage Manager - SATA driver issue

Hello :)
I've installed XP Pro SP3 on a clean HDD on my NB200-10p.
To make CD installation happen, i had to modify the "SATA controller mode" from "AHCI" to "Compatibility"
since XP does not have sata drivers embeded.
OS instalation went fine, and I have installed all the Toshiba drivers one by one, but Inter Storage Menager,
which contains SATA drivers, does not want to install !!
The installation setup starts, but ends with an error saying "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software" !???
Any ideas ?
Tnx
Cheers!

Hi
Im asking myself why you need to install the SATA drivers if you already installed the Win XP on this NB200?
> To make CD installation happen, i had to modify the "SATA controller mode" from "AHCI" to "Compatibility"
If you have changed the SATA mode to compatibility then the SATA drivers are not necessary because the HDD controller does not run in SATA mode!

I'm having trouble installing Itunes after my hard drive was erased and reinstalled

I'm able to download the newest version of iTunes, but when it's almost finished, it gives me a message that says I need to exit out of iTunes, even though I'm not in iTunes. When I click ok, it tells me the download can't continue.

Error BSOD when installing SATA drive on 1 & 2 (RAID 0 on 3/4 AOK)

Hi,
I have successfully installed Win XP Pro on 3 & 4, & wanted to install a Maxtor 120GB SATA drive on 1 or 2. When I do this, & enable bios on 1 & 2, windows loads then prompts for a reboot due to the install of new hardware. After posting & whilst Win is starting, it BSOD with IRQ_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS etc. I shut down computer, remove SATA drive, alter settings back to before in Bios & select last successful settings & computer reboots AOK. This happens on both SATA 1 & 2.
Is there a way of having the SATA storage disk on 1 or 2. Is it best to hot install it with the O/S up, after having changed BIOS settings to enable SATA 1 & 2?

To answer my own question, while computer is turned off, (after taking anti-static precautions) plug power to sata drive.
Connect sata data cable to M/board, do not connect sata data cable to drive.
Enable sata 1 & 2 in bios, boot to windows.
Drivers are installed for device.
Then carefully plug sata data cable into sata drive.
Windows detects new hardware.
Enter Disk Management & partition/format to your hearts content.
Thanks to those who had a look at my post. Hope this helps someone else.
