• HP Pavilion DV7-1212TX laptop Downgrade Vista to Windows XP? SATA driver

  Hello

  I want to downgrade this machine because some programs does not work under Vista and it will cost you $$$ to upgrade.

  The problem seems to be that I can't find the right SATA driver to use.

  When I use a WinXP disk, it gives me a blue screen of death.

  I downloaded an update Intel driver pack, integrated in the WinXP installation CD and still have the same screen of death.

  I tried to load Windows XP on a CD (the whole OS on a bootable CD)... and crashed too.

  I think that the drivers I have are too old... but until I know the exact chipset I probably won't understand what I need to install.

  It seems to be no comprehensive manual of the computer, so there seems to be no list of chipsets.

  I had a bit of info from the Vista system... Device Manager but not a full number of chipset.

  Is that what someone has successfully installed WinXP on one of them?

  Can anyone make some suggestions?

  Is there an easier way to get around this?

  :-)

  Hello

  First make Vista beckup. Information how to do it here.

  Now you need to integrate your drivers Sata (only ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller) with nLite.

  Here is the guide to how do and here are the drivers Sata for you and here are the Sata drivers from your.  Just unRAR it drivers with winrar.

  Remember, also, that you use the Windows XP SP2 version. If you have not got the version SP2 here you can download this service pack

  and here you guide how to integrate this file with your new system of nLite.

• Migrating to SATA drive to iMac

  Four days ago my MacPro (2010) died. I have four 3 "SATA drives from 1 to 2 to each of Mac Pro. The computer was for business and personal use. Absolutely everything (including financial information) I have is on these four discs, including redundant copies of some files, but also my Time Machine backup.

  I will have an envelope coming tomorrow which is a RAID box but will be executed in the independent drive with four drives Mode. My 'new' computer is an iMac (2013), that was given to me.  The iMac and the main SATA drive running the same version of the operating system. I need to resolve this issue quickly so I can return to work. In the immediate future, I intend to operate out of the primary SATA drive to catch up, and then transfer when I'll have a good time to transfer.

  My question is the best way to get the entire contents of the primary SATA drive on the iMac's hard drive. I want everything that is on the main SATA drive to put to be on the iMac (including the prefs and hidden folders) of Mac Pro and it would be the same when I booted the Mac Pro.

  Can I use migration utility, clone the drive SATA main to the iMac or even use the Time Machine backup?

  If I clone the drive, I know that I would have to boot from one disk other than the iMac drive to clone to the iMac. When the primary SATA drive is attached, I need to boot from it by holding down the option key at startup key to select the startup disk.

  If I use the Migration utility, it seems I start the iMac, and then run the utility to the iMac of the SATA drive range, which would be connected to the iMac. This would replace all the information on the iMac even though it was the boot drive?

  I printed the information on the Migration of Apple Mac help when transferring to another storage device, but it's not quite clear to me.

• Satellite Pro P200 - 17 c: Win XP won't load - installation of the SATA driver

  Hello

  I have a satellite pro p200 - 17 c I've had good years, allways worked without any problem.

  Last week when I booted the laptop, windows won't load and I find myself safe mode selection screen. No options whatsoever me to windows loading, I tried F8 and still nothing.

  I tried the restore cd that reimagee the drive but I get the same thing, I tried a new hard drive, once again the same.

  But if I try to load windows from an OEM to install that software does not because it is a sata drive and there is no floppy drive. I have an external floppy drive I use, but it is not known now.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  Hello

  Go to BIOS and set it to default settings.

  In this case the SATA mode must be on AHCI. In this case the SATA drivers are required to install the Windows operating system. But as much as I know that Windows 7 already contains the SATA drivers if usually you don t had to add SATA drivers while OS installation the installation program.

  However, here is a nice HowTo document that helps you add SATA drivers for Win XP installation disc.

• Installation of a dual boot for XP on a Vista - XP installation computer forget the SATA drive after restart required #1

  Hello

  I'm trying to set up a dual-boot XPpro on my Vista machine.  I found the instructions detailed at various locations.  I prepared a score of 30G on my SATA drive and booted from my XPpro and XPpro (SP2) retail drives.  The score is quite small because I have only use for some applications.

  I have the following problem and I wonder if anyone can help.  The disk and partition is by my SP2 disc, but it's ok that BONE is not used on any other machine.

  I can choose the new partition as the location for the new installation of XP.

  Installation gets to the point where the first reboot is required, then at startup, I'm stuck on the option 'press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.  I assume that the reader is not detected.  If I try to start from scratch, I get the warning that the new partition already has an operating system on it, but I can reformat and move forward, then arrive at the startup problem re.

  There is no XP drivers for my Board, but I can not install them because they are on CD and the only option to load the specific drivers in the first part of install required has a diskette is in the drive, and of course I don't have a floppy drive.

  I then use the Startup Repair in Vista I can't move to the stage where XP is installed in fact correctly.

  Any help very welcome!

  Hello

  I made a disc of slipstream with nLite as suggested, my sata drivers included but still could not circumvent this problem.  Installation kept insisting that they had to come from A:

  Rather than taking the box to bits I read from the link posted by Michael Murphy, once again and found the answer of Taydius on 250/1 posts.

  http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-Vista-XP-Vista-already-26-1946.html

  Problem solved by installing EasyBCD in Vista, it points to the new partition with the inaccessible XP and reboot and selection, installation on board as usual.

  Dual boot now works fine.

  Thanks for the help!

  Concerning

• PERC H330 and Raid 5, try adding another SATA drive raid 5 array

  Hi all

  I have one server PowerEdge T330 with 8 slots of disc and have currently 3 SATA drives running a raid 5 configuration.  I have a virtual disk configured for Raid (must).

  The operating system recognizes the disk and is able to use the resources...

  My desire is to add another hard drive to the table (hard disks of the same size, same brand, etc.) with 4 disks without losing any data.

  I looked in the settings of the iDrac and the only adjustment was to add the new disk as a global hot spare or a hot spare dedicated to the virtual drive.

  I also looked in the BIOS and do not see a way to add the new drive.

  Does anyone know how to increase capacity?  I can blow the virtual drive if necessary and start over without problem.  I intend to gradually accomplish this Act until adding 8 disks. (5 times).

  Help!

  Hello.

  Management controllers RAID and tables is not made in the BIOS iDRAC or systems. For the management of the RAID (virtual disks) arrays, you have OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA). If not installed, see the link: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=TK61C once installed, go to-> Storage->-> H330 PERC controllers-> virtual disk--> sub tasks available-> select reconfigure and run-> then check a box to add the fourth disk on the next page. Follow the prompts and allows you to extend your range of RAID 5.

• Problems after installing the second SATA drive in Windows 7

  I just install a second SATA hard drive in Windows 7. Currently, I use only a processor AMD Athlon X 2 4800 with 3 GB of RAM, Windows 7 64 - bit, installed on a 400 GB Samsung SATA drive and have two (a pioneer and a Liteon) DVD burners.

  System worked fine until I put in the new drive. Previously, I had hung as such discs: SATA1 was the existing 400Go drive, SATA2 and 3 were two DVD burners (don't ask me why, I have 2, will remove one of them, if that's the problem).

  Installed the new HARD in the SATA4 drive. Booted up, saw the new drive in the BIOS, but Windows does not see it until I went to disk management, a drive letter assigned and formatted etc. Also, I swapped the drive letters so I had all of the HARD drive (I have my 400 GB split into two readers via the partition) and C: D: E: F: and G:, DVD players.

  Started, began to transfer data from D: to the new E:, and Windows crashes. No message error, everything freezes. Need to reset, and then allow Windows to check for errors etc. Return to Windows, same case again. I swapped the SATA cables so that SATA1 and 2 are the HARD drives and SATA3 and 4 are DVD players. Reboot, same case.

  What I am doing wrong? Or what should I do? I don't even have to start the transfer of data I just let WIndows running for 2 minutes and it automatically hangs again.

  If someone could help me as soon as POSSIBLE please, it would be fantastic. Thank you!

  I've been in contact with the provider, and Yes, that will take it back for Exchange. They gave me some ideas to try first, I'm going to do tonight; They asked me to check if the HARD disk is running on series complete ATA (SATA) mode and to enable the DMA if he asks me to. Otherwise, they said, try the fail-safe mode. Don't know if any of them are currently enabled etc but will find tonight.

  All else fails, I take that back! Simply means a 3 hours trip to Melbourne to make...

  Thanks again guys for your help.

• Win 7 IDE SATA drives indicated as ejection

  Hi - I have a Gigabyte H61M mobo with CPU Intel Core I5-2400 and two hard drives from Western Digital WD5000AZRX-00A8LB0.

  Boredom is that readers will always appear in the tool ' safely remove hardware and eject Media.  Several messages say it's normal for the AHCI SATA disks, but mine seem to be IDE SATA: in Device Manager > properties > details > hardware ID they list as:

  • IDE\DiskWDC_WD5000AZRX - 00A8LB0___01.01 A 01
  • IDE\WDC_WD5000AZRX - 00A8LB0___01.01 A 01
  • IDE\DiskWDC_WD5000AZRX-00A8LB0___
  • WDC_WD5000AZRX - 00A8LB0___01.01 A 01
  • GenDisk

  This post gives a registry hack to deal with drives as internal ports, but at the moment I'm confused - are all SATA drives that are considered "ejection"?

  Gordon.

  I have a second computer that shows that also removable SATA drives and Yes, it would be quite easy to accidentally delete the wrong drive. That said, installation of 'remove' will not be released a disc which he sees as "in use", so it is more difficult to make the error that inclusion in the list 'remove' may suggest it...

• Windows 8 can't find my SATA drive (2). It does not appear in disk management, but it appear when I open the tab of properties on any drive and click displays all disks. What should do?

  I bought a new computer (custom build) and Frys Electronics put it together for me.  Disk 0 is a 128 GB SSD, 1 disk is a SATA 2 TB drive, and disc 2 is a 1 TB SATA drive. Readers of 0 and 1 have been configured correctly when I installed Windows 8 but Drive 1 was not found\initialized. Player 2 does not appear in the disk management window, but when I click on properties on any drive, and then on the "hardware" tab, the drive appears.  If I can get windows to find it, I can go configure manually.  DiskPart cannot find disc 2 in the 'LIST' command and when I get in car 2 on other commands that require a number of disc, nothing happens.

  What should I do?

  Thank you.

  I ran an old Western Digital (the two SATA drives are WD) diagnosis and there are 1 OK to drive.  I tested it and it doesn't have a writing that test a few zeros.  I thought that it was a bad drive and I must return to the seller.  The next morning I tried the WD diagnosis again and this time he passed.  The app then allowed me to format it and it assign a drive letter.

  It seems to be OK now, but I'm not load all the files on it again.

  Thank you all for your support.

• PE R510 of the SAS addition to the installed system with SATA drives

  Hello

  We have a server PE510 that came with 2 drives 2 TB SATA 7.2 k and a Controller PERC SAS 6/iR.   The servers of the machine as a SQL server (its original purpose) and later on, a busy file server.  The file server role was not originally intended for this machine.  What we are seeing is very bad I/O bottleneck during daily use, although only about a dozen people access to this server.   (I got the system extracted by pressing more than once).

  I wonder if replace drives with SAS will help solve this problem.  There are 6 empty bays on the system.

  Would I be able to add 3-6 SAS disks to this system (in addition to the installed SATA disks), in order to create a new RAID volume and move the files to it on SATA volumes?   The existing SATA drives are in a RAID1 volume.

  Thank you

  Thank you

  I wonder if replace drives with SAS will help solve this problem.  There are 6 empty bays on the system.

  Replacement by SAS will probably help, but your bottleneck is your controller, not your type of disc.  There is no easy way to migrate a Windows installation of a SAS 6/iR to a PERC 6 / i, but if you were to move the PERC, you will see a substantial improvement.  The other problem is that, because you can not mix SAS and SATA disks in a virtual disk, you would have to do a backup/restore for the SAS VD (you would not be able to rebuild a SAS drive in the existing table to replace one at a time).

  Mauricej74

  Would I be able to add 3-6 SAS disks to this system (in addition to the installed SATA disks), in order to create a new RAID volume and move the files to it on SATA volumes?

  Yes, you can add the SAS drives for the system and more SATA drives.  Note, however, that 1) the SAS 6/iR controller only supports 2 virtual drives, while a VD can be added, and 2) the SAS 6/iR controller only supports RAID 0 and 1, would be so the only way to add disks "3-6" in a RAID 0, which leaves your data at extreme risk.

• T7610 SAS (LSI 2308) precision controller - set the SATA drives?

  Hello

  The controller is SAS RAID LSI 2308 integrated in the T7610 of precision allows to attach SATA hard drives in a non-raid configuration?  I just realized this system has only TWO internal SATA connectors, but I need THREE internal SATA drives.

  What I was asking is if the SAS ports will allow the connection of SATA drives that are not used in RAID mode?  This way I can add my 3rd SATA HDD to a SAS ports.

  Thank you
  M

  We are experiencing the same problem/issue with the T7610 of accuracy by using the controller LSI-2308.  The end result that we would like is to have 2 drives separated - do not use the raid controller.  However, the CD Rom takes up one of the sata drive connections.

  Anyone been able to disable the raid and then controller, seeing the disks during the installation of windows needs to see?

  Currently, I have 2 blank drives (3 TB (ea.) and windows setup does not see the discs - but the raid controller load very well through the configuration.

  What should I do to get readers in windows?  There the meta that needs to be removed?

• Configuration of the bios/add another SATA drive

  I just added a 500 GB Sata Drive in my Dell8300. I cloned it with the info of the Sata 120 GB drive came with the system.

  I left the orig. cable/HDD attached as he was to the Mboard and plugged the new drive in the free sata connection.

  When I go into the bios, the only way I can get the new boot disk is to turn off the device of the orig. If this isn't the case, it will boot to the old drive.

  I guess I have to swap the cables on the sata connector of Mboard for him to start again disc? Or, can I I put in place in the Bios to do? (I tried, but in vain)

  Also, when I get it started properly, how can I do to get Windows XP to show both drives in Explorer? At present, if I have two drives is enabled in the bios, it will start on the old disk, but not to show new disc in Explorer...

  Just a guess here, but I wonder if, because the old drive has been cloned on the new drive, I have to rename the drive letters to get to show?

  Motherboard is Dell 0W2562 and BIOS: Dell Computer Corporation A03 19/09/2003

• Satego X 200 - 21U - where to find the XP SATA driver for install XP

  I have laptop Satego X 200 - 21U with installed Windows Vista.
  Where can I find the driver for SATA drive so I could install Windows XP?
  HARD drive is Hitachi hts 541616j9sa00.

  Hello

  The SATA driver is part of the Intel Storage Manager.
  You can download the Storage Manager Intel since the European driver Toshiba page.

  The package contains the F6hlpy folder that contains the files needed for the SATA.

  These files must be included for the Windows XP CD using free software called nLite.

  Google for nLite to get and find more details.

  Good bye
