Re: SATA Driver problem?



No,
If you read my earlier post in this thread you may recall that I mentioned
cache setting and sata/raid
Why it is sometimes neccessary to disable I'm unsure, I just know many
controler manu reccomend disabling it
I dont believe the controller cache settings is the same as the hd cache
(one given in HD specs)setting.

Does it mean that the cache is defect? Should I replace my HDD (It's
still
under warranty)? Or does it mean something else?

Thank you

Write cache is likely to be the problem

I've done it!

-Changed the Data Cable
-Uninstalled my Video Card Driver
-Uninstalled my SATA Driver
-Reinstalled a newer Video Card Driver
-Reinstalled the SATA Driver
-Disabled the "Write Cache" in my SATA driver control panel.

And IT WORKED! And I still don't know what was the real problem... I'll
try
re-enabling the write cache tonight to see if it was the problem.

Thanks everybody for your support.

Hi, I had that error yesterday, turned out that one of the sata
cables
wasn't quite connected properly, although I couldn't see anything
amiss
when I gave all of them a push, four of 'em, the error message
disappeared. So try pushing them back on...

Nothing too usefull there, the only sata/raid setting that this bios
have
is how the HDD should be used (RAID, NON-RAID and AHCI)

Currently, my HDD was in NON-RAID operating mode... which is
obviously
the simplest operating mode.

Does this mobo have any specific bios settings for the sata/raid
controler?
In particular 'driver cache' settings.
There have been reported problems, usually corruption, when using
raid
in
certain controllers and driver cache.
The raid bios/utility often has configerable settings.
I'm not conversent with your mobo/sata controler so I'm unsure as
to
whether
there would be any specific mobo raid/sata settings.

For one thing, i'm suppose that the ram is an exact pair since it
came
from
a Corsair Bundle of 2x512mb suitable for dual channel. I've got
the
"packaging" in which the RAM was supposed to be in (I didn't check
if
the
actual ram modules were the genuine thing that I purchased...)
should
I?

I only suppose that the RAM modules were put in the same color
slots
together since I've never saw a store assembling a PC otherwise...
However,
I didn't check by myself, I'll look at that this evening...

Also, if the powersupply unit 12v 4pin connector was not connected
to
the
motherboard, would my PC run at all?

Michel,

I assume your PSU's 12v 4pin connector is attached to the mobo
and
the
Ram
is an exact pair seated firmly together in the blue or black mem
slots,
right..?

Did you install the SATA onboard raid drivers during the XP
instalation..?

Check the OEM's online manual and other PDF's too..
Do you have a PDF reader..?

Is it more likely to be a HD Problem, motherboard problem or
software

I've got a new PC,

Once in a while (about every 5-15 minutes) my system
freeze
for
a
4-5
seconds period...

When I inspect the System Event Log, I got the following
entries
everytime
that the problem occur:
The device, \Device\Scsi\m52881, did not respond within
the
timeout
period.

followed by that warning:
An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during
a
paging
operation.

It turns out that m52881 is my SATA2 driver... I tried
uninstalling/reinstalling the driver (even tried different
versions)
and
it didn't work.

Heeelpppp!

What should I do?

Here is the detail of the computer:

AMD Athlon XP 62 4200+ Dual Core
1 ghz Ram (Corsair 2x512 mb in dual channel)
ASRock Socket 939SLI32-eSATA2 Motherboard
WD 250gb 16mb Cache 7200rpm HDD (SATA2)
