Unable to select SATA II Transfer mode

After much hassle, I was finally able to successfully install the Nvidia Sata controller driver version 5.10.2600.666 dtd 4/24/2006 which is now driving both of my SATA drives. My WD2500KS, a SATA II drive, is listed as the drive on the Primary Channel (connected to SATA Pin 1 on my MOBO). Within Device Manager the properties of this Primary Channel list the transfer mode as “Serial ATA Generation 1 - 1.5G; the drop down allows selection of Sata II which I have attempted to select. This selection requires a reboot. I have attempted this many times and every time after reboot I am still left with the transfer mode for this drive as being Sata Generation I.
I believe the issue may lie with the driver being used for the WD2500 itself which is listed in Device Manager as being Microsoft 5.1.2535.0 dtd. 7/1/2001. I know that when I installed the Nvidia drivers a caution Window opened advising that the IDE SW Driver would be installed; I have attempted to use “Update Driver” to replace the Microsoft driver by directing the driver search to my Nvidia Update 6.86 Folder. I am consistently advised that the installed driver is the most current and directed to accept or search again. Further when I use the Windows “Search” to find the IDE SW driver, it is not found which is perhaps why I am unable to “Update” the driver for this hard drive.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get the WD2500 into a SATA II transfer mode? By the way, no jumpers are used on the WD drive itself as WD says this is the default jumper setting for SATA II.

Bas, I admit I've given a thought to updating the BIOS but to be honest I'm a little gun shy. I've read your posts and advice as regards flashing, etc. and all of your caveats plus I've read some of the horror stories that get posted here. On top of everything, I've repeatedly been told not to update if you have a stable system and are not experiencing problems which to date I have not.
It's pretty much a risk vs. reward problem if updating my BIOS is the only alternative; as it presently sits the SATA II is only giving a Burst of 131.6 MB/s which is slightly better than the 120GB PATA drive @ 95.4 MB/s and this is probably only due to the larger 16MB cache on the SATA II as the average read speeds of both are similar, SATA II at 55.5 MB/s and PATA 52.7 MB/s. Do you believe that these results might be significantly improved with a BIOS update?

Hi There
Im not sure this would work for you all but i came accross this discussion after suffering the same problem and after pulling my hair out i finally solved it and thought it was only fair i posted how.
I had tried all options on here apart from deleteing everything off my memory card ( i wasn't keen on this option ) i checked the running apps and it just showed that standby was running,
So i thought i would try uninstalling recently installed item one by one, i had recently installed some software called CALL RECORDER and although it was not showing up that it was running it was in the background after deleting this the problem was solved ,
So try and think if there are any apps that you have installed that may be running in the background but not showing up , i would advise deleting these one by one as i did and if it still doesnt work you can reinstall it ,
hope this helps
BUT EVEN AFTER ALL THIS I STILL LOVE MY N95 8GB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

N95 8Gb USB Data Transfer Mode not working

I have a bizarre problem with USB Data transfer.
a) I upgraded to the new 15.x firmware with the correct HKCSL package - 0557980
b) I connected PC #1 in data transfer mode with no issue and copied a bunch of installers onto the mass memory and went on to install them - to the PHONE memory.
c) Later in the day, connected PC #2 and did the same with the last few applications.
d) Next day tried to connect PC #1 and it didn't work
e) Thought I must have an application using the MASS storage but checked and not so - all apps on Phone memory.
f) Went to PC #2 and tried - Data transfer mode works - no problem.
g) Tried PC #1 again, and still not working. I get all the right messages (Mass storage cannot be used at this time etc) on the handset, and I get the "safely remove hardware" option appearing on the PC - but I don't get a drive letter assigned in the Windows Explorer.
h) I have tried it on PC #3 and this works as well - no problem.
1. The working PC's both have PC Suite 2-Beta installed, while the problem PC has no PC suite at all.
2. I have downloaded the Nokia-connectivity_cable_driver_rel_6_85_10_0 and it installs properly - giving all the expected wireless... options in Device Manager, but I still don't get a drive letter assigned with the basic data transfer mode on this problem PC #1
So the issue seems to be with a PC that has never seen any version of PC suite, but it worked straight after the firmware upgrade.
All PC's are XP SP2.
Any suggestions on anything else to try ?
Regards

SOLVED by:
- attaching N95, selecting USB Data Transfer Mode
- Going to Device Manager
- Selecting the USB Mass Storage Device for N95
- "Uninstall"
- Remove cable when N95 says its safe to
- Re-attach cable
The PC then re-discovered and reloaded the drivers including the mass storage which then worked normally.
No idea what messed it up in the first place though.

Not able to connect N82 to pc in data transfer mod...

I am not able to connect N82 in data transfer mode( other modes are working fine) though i installed latest connectivity cable driver for N82. It says that it could not find any suitable driver(after search cd provided and online).
My current firmware version of N82(RM-313) is 10.0.046. Operating system is Windows Vista. Will the firmware update fix the problem or I have to contact customer care center?
Thank you for your support.

Hi mlhpr
If phone is set to 'data transfer" mode on user interface and USB plugged into PC N82 behaves as a Windows USB mass storage device and you are saying that Windows Vista can't recognize this?
Ya thats is what the problem is. As you said the phone was to behave like USB pendrive in data transfer mode but i am getting this error.
:I first connected the N82 with cable Nokia CA-101 provided with handset and selected the data transfer mode. Then the windows(Vista) icon would appear in task bar showing windows is installing the driver. Then a window pops up saying driver not found and requests permission to search online for driver. When I choose search online for suitable driver, it searches for a while and says no driver found. (net is working prefectly fine). The icon disappears from the bar and phone is inaccessible from windows explorer. But USB indicator on mobile screen is active until i disconnect using mobile connectivity settings.
Actually i wanted this mode for installing the Nokia Maps which requires the phone to be in data transfer mode.

N95-8GB - Not able to connect in Data Transfer Mod...

Hi all,
Recently I bought N95-8GB and installed PC Suite which comes along with the phone in my OS Windows Vista Home Premium. When I try to connect my phone in Data Transfer mode, I am getting message "Found new hardware - Windows needs to install driver software for your unknown device" and I am not able to find any driver for the same.
Please help me out to solve this problem.
Regards,
S.Suresh

just let the wizard run through and select the options that windows will search for the friver itself. the dirvers are included in nokia Pc suite package.
YOu can also try to use the standard NOkia PC Suite from www.nokia.com/pcsuite or generally look for a fresh version of NSeries PC Suite from thephone web-pages, the CD-ROM versions are normally outdated

N95 8GB reboots periodically in data transfer mode

I have a new N95 8GB running firmware v20. Unfortunately, when I use the genuine USB cable and select "Data Transfer Mode" the phone reboots 60 seconds after I connect the cable (and thereafter each 60 seconds when I don't touch the phone).
I have tried with a non-genuine cable and the behaviour is the same.
Coincidentally the "Power Save Time-out" is set to 60 seconds. When I change this to another value, say 40 seconds, then the above rebooting happens every 40 seconds.
This appears to be a phone bug and makes it extremely difficult to use data transfer mode, unless you can transfer files within the power save time-out period, or unless you are prepared to press a button on the phone within this period.
**Nokia please fix this**
See related post: /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&thread.id=81967&view=by_date_ascending&page=1

Well,rotateme works perfectly for me and i have a n95 8gb too.So there are two things that might happening.
1.You are doing something wrong with the whole installation(does rotateme works when you install it?)
2.You downloaded your self a corrapted or somekind of a virus or a bug .sis file and installed it to your phone.
Why dont you try to download one other rotateme file for you?You can find plenty rotateme from a lot of users.I can send you mine,if you want send me an e-mail and i`ll send to you the .sis file that i used and as i said,it works fine for me.
Peace

Stuck in file transfer mode?

I recently bought a NOkia 5310 express music phone, and I'm trying to copy some songs onto it. Whenever I try to get it set up to copy the music it says that my phone is "in file transfer mode, and cannot be use with pc suite, quit file transfer mode from the phone if you want to use the phone with pc suite". I have no idea what file transfer mode is, or how to get out of it. anyone have any idea?

Hi,
First of all, it doesn't matter if you choose the option of "PC Suite" or "Media". It works both way when all you want to do is to transfer music. I personally wouldn't choose "Media". Somehow for my N97, my Messenging will switch back from mass memory to phone memory and it is really annoying. At times when I choose "Media", my computer says that the USB is connected in non-compatible mode etc.
One thing I notice too is that my music player would be "hanged" if connected via USB. Nothing we can do. To listen to your music using your phone, I reckon you have to stop the USB connection. So that is normal.
Using menu setting to PC Suite saves you the trouble of having to select the mode EVERYTIME. So, that too is a good choice.
Let's forget about OVI Player for a moment. After you plug in your phone, if you start the PC Suite, you should see that your phone is detected. If not, try reconnect the cable, try using PC Suite to connect to the phone (there is a button to do that I remember if the phone is not detected). If still cannot, like my friend, you will probably need to reinstall the latest firmware via Nokia Care Store.
Let's say your PC Suite application can detect your phone, you may wish to see if you can transfer the music. You may wanna do one testing here. Open up the File Manager from your PC Suite. Transfer the songs manually, then do a refresh at your Music Library of your phone. You should see the tracks. If yours is a Comes With Music like mine, you can get the licence over the air. Once that is done, I suppose you should be able to transfer the music files via your OVI Player. While, it is tedious, but that was how it works for me.
I wish Nokia is easier on us, but it is not. Sorry.

Re: Primay IDE channel Transfer mode is set to PIO mode - Enabling DMA Stat

Hello suneel
Sorry to interrupt this discussion but I feel it goes somehow in wrong direction.
If I understand you right you just want to install WXP on your Satellite A300. Am I right about that?
On this forum you can find, I believe, hundreds of threads with precise description how to do this.
What you need is WXP installations CD with integrated SATA driver.
Check please this page . There you can find nice description how to find SATA drivers. At the end you can also find link to guide for "Slipstreaming SATA driver into WinXp boot cd using nLite".
When the WXP is installed just continue with WXp driver installation. If your notebook is WXP supported you can find them on Toshiba download page.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!

Why am I unable to select layers within the layout window - PSE13

I am working on a project in expert mode. It has several layers. Randomly, I am now unable to select any of the layers within the layout window. I have tried to drag or click on or over an element and nothing happens, it keeps selecting the same element unless I select it from the layers utility on the right hand side. I have tried this with a mouse and a Wacom tablet, same result.

Fixed by running updates, resetting preferences and rebooting. Phew!

Another option is to temporarily change your view to outline mode, when your done switch back to preview mode. Ctrl-Y or View>Outline {View>Preview} The menu option will change depending on which mode you are in.
And another option, double click on the object in question to place it in Isolation mode. You can now edit to your hearts content. When done, click on the gray border at top of document.
So as you can see there are multiple ways of accomplishing the same thing.

Unable to select rows in table

Hi Expert,
I am a beginer of Webdynpro application development. I have created 2 views. In main view material No selection is there and in a second view table display is there. Data is getting populated nicely in second view but i uanble to select rows in table.
I have checked the node parameters in component controller for selection 0 - n and it was maped in second view. and in table perameter row selectable perameter is also enabled. I unable to fix this issue. Kindly guide me.
Thanks and Regards,
Jayakumar Mani

Hi Jayakumar,
If you want select a single or multiple row of a table then
1. your table should not be read only. This property should not be checked.
2. It should be enabled. This property should be checked.
3. It should be row selectable. This property should be checked.
However when ever you create a new table in in layout the above properties are set accordingly by default.
In your case if you are still unable to select a row of your table you can set this properties dynamically through coding from any particular action.
Create a attribute of type WDUI_TSMODE.
Then bind this attribute with the selection mode property and the set values according to your requirement.
Check this once and reply in case of any issue.

Hi,
could it be this problem (as described in an OSS note) ?
"Symptom
Various errors occur when you load reporting point data from CRM with the DataSource 0CRM_UT_POD_ATTR and update the data in BW:
1. Insufficient data is delivered, and all fields are empty except for the external reporting point name (EXT_UI_BW).
2. The restriction according to the external reporting point name (EXT_UI_BW) in the BW scheduler has no effect.
3. The update in BW to the InfoObject 0UCCRMPOD terminates with the error message RSAU-492 (Return code <> 0 is invalid in overwrite MODE in update routines).
Other terms
Sales, commercial and industrial customers, IS-U-CRM integration, IS-U, quotation controlling, quotation planning
Reason and Prerequisites
There is an error in the extractor. In addition, the selection according to EXT_UI_BW cannot be supported in the InfoPackage for technical reasons. The case was not caught when the texts for 0UCCRMPOD were updated because the texts for 0UC_POD (IS-U reporting point) had not yet been loaded from IS-U.
Solution
The error is eliminated in CRM 4.0 Support Package 05 and BI Content Add-On 3.20 Support Package 11 or BI Content Add-on 3.30 Support Package 04 or BI Content Add-On 3.51 Support Package 01.
Correction instructions for the CRM section are attached."
