IDE channel - check the State DMA/PIO

Hello

I tried to check the DMA/PIO State of my system, but I couldn't find something that mentions primary/secondary channel under "controllers IDE ATA/ATAPI" in Device Manager. From what I've read in various forums, it is the way to do it, and I also noticed that a few people could not find the ' primary/secondary way' thing as well. (but I could not find a solution to the issue)

My problem is that some USB ports (2 of 4) I used normally would slow when I transfer data to and from the external HARD drive. Now, I've been move to the other 2 USB ports, and I could see the difference in the rate of transfer. This has happened before with my XP system, but I was able to access the channel primary/secondary and turned them all to DMA, which is something that I can't do now with my other Vista system. So now I would really check on that, and I need help to make...

My system:
Windows Vista (updated with all the Windows update)
Intel Core 2 Duo P9600 2.67 GHz
4 GB OF RAM
nVidia GeForce GTX 260-1 GB memory
Realtek/Creative SoundBlaster
HARD drive 320 (which is good, it's almost full, leaving about 20 GB of free space, but the problem that I mentioned above happened when I had still 60 GB of free space, as a few months ago)

It would be great if someone can help me to brighten my days here. I'm not a geek, but certainly not an illiterate as well.

Thank you in advance!

Hi PC45,.

In case you can't find primary/secondary channel under "controllers IDE ATA/ATAPI" in Device Manager, you can try to expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers and check for ATA channel 0 or right-click on it and click Properties. Later, click on the tab for setting advance, check if you can see the status of the DMA mode.

Because you are connected to the USB and the data transfer rate is slow, and it works fine when connected to a different USB port, I suggest you to update the USB drivers on the motherboard manufacturer's website.

You can also navigate to the link below and follow the steps to update the drivers on your computer.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

Also, if you have any security software installed on your computer, you can try to temporarily disable and check if the date transfer rate is better. If you find the security software, the origin of the problem, you can contact the manufacturer of security software and check if there is no parameter to be changed. Later, re-enable the security software.

I hope this helps. Let us know the status.

Thank you and best regards,

    Hello suneel

    Sorry to interrupt this discussion but I feel somehow, he's going in the wrong direction.
    If I understand you well you want to just install on your Satellite A300 WXP. Am I right about that?

    On this forum, that you will find, I believe, hundreds of threads with description Specifies how to do that.
    What you need is WXP CD facilities with integrated SATA driver.

    Check it please this page. You will find beautiful description how to find SATA drivers. At the end you can also find the link to the guide for "Slipstreamer SATA driver in the Windows XP boot cd using nLite".

    When the WXP is installed just continue with the installation of the driver Windows XP Edition family. If your laptop is supported WXP you can find them on the download page of Toshiba.

    I hope this helps.
    Good luck!

  • Checking the status of the main sequence in reminder PostUUT

    I'm checking the State of the main sequence in the PostUUT callback, running TS 2014 SP1.
    Say, the main sequence generates an error. PostUUT I check and get the following

    Parameters.Result.Status "error".
    Parameters.Result.Error.Code

    Parameters.Result.Error.Msg

    Parameters.Result.Error.Occurred False

    Parameters.Result.Error.Occurred should not be set to True? If this isn't the case, please explain why.

    Thank you.

    In the process model of the step that calls the MainSequence reminder is set to ignore errors.  It is for the rest of your group of main step can run.  That is why we only sets result false but retains all the error information.

    If it were me, I would trigger on the State channel.

    Hope this helps,

  • How to follow the direction of Adobe 'Flash uninstall"to check the Firefox browser for the 'status' of Adobe Flash? --

    I downloaded Adobe uninstall (for Mac, OS x 10.4ff) and he ran to get rid of old shards of Adobe Flash, be very careful to follow the Adobe provided through their Web site. The last thing they ask you to do is to "Check that the uninstall is complete", by restarting your computer and then open your browser and check the status of the Flash Player. BUT it seems not to be a way to check the State of Adobe Flash Player on current versions of browsers Mozilla product.
    How can I check that the old version of 'Flash Player' is really gone?

  • App without head: how to check the status

    1. I read this on the BB site:

    Criticism

    Process that must be running at all times (for example, system processes)

    In the foreground

    Processes that are running in the foreground

    Background

    Processes that run in the background

    Stop

    Process involved in RAM without running

    The question is can we write the code to check the States of the app to trigger certain activities?

    I also want to know the other possible States of the life cycle such as: "application started", "closed app"...

    A problem critical of the app without head is memory management, and we can only until BB have a better explanation on the life cycle of the app without a head.

    2. for an application in the short-term, event after 20 years, the app is still listed on memory and CPU usage. That seems abnormal, because I guess that after 20 years, the application will be stopped and not be able to use the memory and CPU more.

    Can someone explain?

    Thank you very much!

    Would you like to take a look at this app, I wrote that has a component without head and uses QLocalSocket to communicate between the headless and the (https://github.com/blackberry/Cascades-Community-Samples/tree/master/wakemebybeacon) user interface process. There is also a blog explaining how it works here: http://devblog.blackberry.com/2014/07/wake-my-beacon/.

    You can detect changes in status of process on the part without head like this (https://github.com/blackberry/Cascades-Community-Samples/blob/master/wakemebybeacon/WakeMeByBeaconSe...) and manipulate them like this (https://github.com/blackberry/Cascades-Community-Samples/blob/master/wakemebybeacon/WakeMeByBeaconSe...).

    When a component without a head (process) is distributed will be passable for 20 seconds, after which it is moved to a queue where it receives no processor, but can be awakened (marked as executable) of certain classes of events. While stopped the headless process always retains a memory footprint, but is not available.

    We are in the (stable) the ACS of 4.0 to 6.0 upgrade process.  The only problem that we see, is that after the upgrade, check the State does not return a version.

    We use the check.js provided by Adobe, but get to the result of the call.

  • ESXi 6.0 - SSH Command to check the status of running tasks

    Hi all

    What I'm trying to do is quite simple, but do not know whether it is complex or not.

    I'm checking the State of a task via SSH. You know, like that of the lower part of the vSphere Client where it shows you the task and the status of it. I need to monitor the % of the deployment of the MV EGGS in various hosts via a script but can't find the command to do, but would be nice to be able to check any task and its status.

    What I found so far:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1013003

    But that was not helpful at all. I tried but could not get information about the deployment.

    Thank you all for any help or lead, you may have.

  • Check the values of the hierarchy

    Hello
    I have a requirement where I need check the data of the child if the parent is not satisfying the condition
    Here is the sample table and data.

    I have a test_test1 of the Table that contains the data parent and child
    create table test_test1 (dependent_id number ,dependent_upon_id number)
    
    insert into test_test1 values(2,1)
    insert into test_test1 values(3,2)
    insert into test_test1 values(4,3)
    
    select dependent_id ||' depends on'|| ' '||dependent_upon_id  
      from test_test1
    There is another table to check the status of the id in the table above.
    create table test_test2 (id number,i_m varchar2(11))
    
    insert into test_test2 values(1,'ISUE')
    insert into test_test2 values(2,'MN')
    insert into test_test2 values(3,'MN')
    insert into test_test2 values(4,'MN')
    Now if the lookup id is 3, check the State, be it ISUE / MN.
    If the State is "MN" then check with that is the State of his child;  4 (the child can be greater than 1)
    If id 4 has the "MN" State, to consult because he was a child extra until he got the State as 'ISUE. If there is not more far childs are 'MAY', and then mark search (3) as inactive, active id otherwise.

    Note: The id is not in additional order that I gave in the data of test as 1,2,3... etc.

    Could you help me how to achieve the above requirement

  • XP hangs at startup and the dialog box provides the following: a problem has prevented Windows to check exactly the State of this computer

    I am rebuilding a system that has been attacked by several viruses and had to rebuild XP using the Windows installation disc.  After completing the repair, I was greeted by the XP logon screen and I tried to log in as administrator. The standard screen grass-hill appears followed by a Windows dialog box to activate product indicating "a problem has prevented windows to check exactly the State of this computer.  To keep your copy of windows must be activated with Microsoft. You want to activate Windows now? "If I choose 'No', then Windows drives me back to the login screen.  If I choose "Yes" then Windows does nothing - activation does not occur and XP does not start... the system just hangs.   I also tried to open a session without failure, but he said that I could not activate safe mode and started back me to the login screen.  I am able to get to a command prompt, if I select Mode safe mode with prompt at startup.  FYI, I am able to view the structure of this version XP Directory when I configure the HARD disk as a slave on another system drive.  Any help to resolve this matter will be highly appreciated.

    I have exactly the same problem and after 2 days of searching and trying stuff found on the internet, I have solved this problem.

    At my computer configuration: Windows XP sp3 with IExplorer 8, but had to go back to the repair facility after that some system files have been corrupted, do not know why.
    My repair CD installation was: Windows XP sp2

    In my view, the main problem is that after the installation of repair, the system obtained in conflict of existing versions of IExplorer 7 and 8. IE 7 & 8A prevented the application of activation of MS (OOBE) of working after the installation of repair, the OOBE application silently chrashed and prevented the logon process.

    I couldn't connect even in safe mode, BUT with failure + command prompt, safe mode I managed to log on! So, choose the mode without failure + command promt in the trunk. Then open a session with success. Then close the command prompt and press CTRL + ALT + DEL to Task Manager. In task manager launches the new application "c:" and answer 'No' to the following question, and after an error message you c: drive open and you'll have office. You can close the System Restore Wizard who opened. Then go to c:\windows\ie7\spuninst and run spuninst.exe. Do the same to c:\windows\ie8\spuninst. After you have uninstalled both, restart windows, and after the first issue of activation, you should get the big activation dialog box.

    I have spent a lot more time, because I was told that uninstall IE7 and IE8 is possible to do this via the command prompt. I did, but it has not fixed my problem. Then I tried a thousand other tricks at the same time.

    Please let us now if this helped you.
