Dim 4600 adding ST3120215ACE PATA Seagate drives

I have installed two of these drives in the Dimension 4600.  Installed Win XP and all the correct drivers.  I used the wizard disk Seagate to install and format the secondary drive and everything seems to work very well.  The o/s sees the drives and no problems... except...  I get this error message at startup:

Reference series Dell system dimension 4600i
BIOS Version A12
www.Dell.com

Secondary drive 1 not found
Strike F1 key to continue, F2 to run the Setup utility

I strike F1 and everything is good.  How can I get rid of this 'error '.

The BIOS for the Primary Master and slave drive setting tough.  Both have the correct id of training, ability and are set to Auto.

Even used disk management to reassign the drive letter for the CD drive and drive slave without problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

First, there is nothing wrong with your computer.  The error you see is probably because you don't have two CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, but the system configuration (F2 during the self-test after starting the computer) is scheduled to have the second player on.  If you have two drives of CD, the slave drive may have failed.

To correct the problem, replace the recoil CMOS cell if you have not done this for a while.  It's a CR 2032 located on the motherboard.  When this is done, go to system settings and disable the second drive on your second IDE channel.  When replacing the cell in relief, the default BIOS will be responsible, so you should probably disable the floppy so drive.  If you forget to do this, you will get an error to seek and need to find F1 to continue as you do now.

  • Adding a new hard drive on e9180t

    Hi, I have e9180t and I'm considering adding a new hard drive.

    Can my office manage 3 to/6.0 GB/s 64 MB Cache SATA internal hard drive?  I get my full performance out of it?

    I read the possible combinations (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01817977 specification page

    Is there a limit to the capacity of the hard drive?  (up to 2 TB)?

    Can handle a 6.0 GB/s transfer rate?

    I currently have 2 hard drives in the following:

    1 TB - Barracuda (st31000528as) 7200 RPM 32 MB SATA 3.0 GB / s
    500 GB - Maxtor DiamondMax 21 (STM3500630AS) 7200 RPM 16 MB SATA 3.0 GB/s

    If I buy 3 to/6.0 GB/s hard drive and use it as a hard drive, will I use these two hard drives as a secondary hard drives?

    Thank you!

    For those who might be interestd, this is what I found after some digging and calling:

    Since the motherboard that comes with e9180t (ipmtb-tk) is SATA 2, its speed is limited to 3.0 GB/s.   When 6.0 GB/s hard drive is connected, the speed will slow down to 3.0 GB/s.

    You can only use the full 3 TB capabity if your motherboard bios has opportunity to support UEFI interface.  However, most of the motherboards built before 2011 doesn't have this option.  ipmtb-tk is one of them.  However, there is a work around.

    1. go in the bios and check that the interface is set to AHCI (non-RAID).

    2. when the disk partition is loaded, you will be able only to the 2 TB partition.  another partition 750Go seems a separate partition that you cannot change.  Partition the 2 TB the way you want to and install Windows 7 on it.

    3. after that excavation is done, download Seagate Disk Wizard.  Later one of their homepage did not work, however.  You must download this one:

    http://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/support/downloads/discwizard/DiscWizardSetup-14382.en.exe
    

    I don't know why they don't have this default link on their home page when you go to download DiscWizard.

    Once the wizard disk is installed, it will pick up the 750Go that you weren't able to before partition as a new drive and now will allow you to partition.   (Keep the MBR instead of TPG setting, format it to NTFS)

    Once you partition using the tool, Viola!  a new drive with 750 GB of space has been added as a new drive.

  • Seagate drive back up the partition problem

    Hello

    I have a problem with a Seagate drive on my mac.

    The drive is 1 TB and I formatted into 2 partitions: 1 exFat and 1 for Time Machine. All worked fine for the last 2 years, but now when plug the drive into my mac it loads only the partition exFat (I can access the content of it.).

    Backup partition isn't appearing any more. I tried to open disk utility, but it won't let me see my discs, while the Seagate is connected. (I thought about it when I unplugged the Seagate drive, everything is back to normal).

    If I want to eject the disc it will freeze it and drive the LEDS will not stop fashing until I take out the usb cable.

    Experienced this kind of problem?  I would be very grateful if you could help me.

  • Adding PERC H700 3 drives in PowerEdge R710

    Hi all

    I need to increase the storage on a server running non-critical virtual machines.

    I currently have 3 x 600GB discs and a VD in raid 5.
    We will be adding 3 more identical drives, staying in raid 5 to increase storage.

    I read a few posts about similar improvements where the user was instructed to use OMSA to add readers and keep the data. This server is not running Windows, it works VMESXi 5.5.0.  I'll add the disks directly by the PERC controller... My data at risk doing this? Should I rely on the added time to re - install VMESXi and restore my VMs?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    You are wanting to add the new disks for RAID 5 existing or create a new RAID 5? If you create a new, do it in the controller should not be any problem. If you are wanting to expand the existing table that needs to be done in OMSA and not in the controller. You can use OMSA for ESXi http://www.dell.com/support/contents/us/en/19/article/Product-Support/Self-support-Knowledgebase/enterprise-resource-center/Enterprise-Tools/OMSA

  • Adding an additional HARD drive to Dell Dimension 4600

    HARD drive how much can this system take, I ask because I want to add an additional hunting with taken all readers currently in PC (2). Any help would be appreciated. Regards.Johno65

    Hi John,.

    Thank you for your response.

    Dimension 4600 system board connectors are as follows:

    • Connector 40 pin primary IDE channel
    • Connector 40 pin IDE secondary channel
    • Floppy drive 34 pin
    • 7-pin Serial ATA connector (2)

    The Dimension 4600 supports up to 4 ATA/100 devices on 2 IDE channels. However, it has flanges/casing for two drives internally accessible only. If you do not connect a third drive internally, there is no place to fix in the system chassis (such as the hard drive bays can contain only 2 hard drives) so it could be hung out of the system. Alternatively, you can connect external USB hard drives as needed on the system.

    Answer please if you have other queries.

    Thank you and best regards.

  • Do new HD SATA boot drive, makes existing corrupt SATA HDD in slave (Dim 4600)

    I got the dreaded "Windows didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM" message; When I boot on the recovery cd or chkdsk or restore the system registry hive backups worked.  Of course I've been lax with data backup, I have years of pictures of children on the hard disk, in the BACK I can navigate through folders with photos and they appear healthy and safe.  I'm afraid that going too far with reinstalling XP will jeopordizing the files, so I decided to install a new HD as boot drive and make the existing one a data drive (slave, secondary disk drive) and save the images and other data once I return.

    TMI I realize - here are my questions

    1. it will work?

    2 can I simply connect the new drive to J8G1 on the motherboard and move the existing drive from G1 to G2?

    3. can I use one of the cables that hang to the new HD?  (the existing one is plugged into a black connector P3, P5 black looks identical).

    4. should I run only the new HD for a while, then plug the old one back in?  Or it doesn't matter?  Other implicit messages of the system could have badly recognized both drives if I ruin this part.

    5 will be any SATA disk that fits in the space doing case, or should I meet a min spec?  My inclination is to gravitate toward 'cheap' unless there is a reason not to.  Existing OEM HD is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160 gb SATA.

    Any guidance would be appreciated.

    THX, Dino
