• Advanced Format drives / 4K are supported as RDM?

  Hello

  I try to use a HDD (WD red/green) that uses 4 K sectors and builds on the Advanced Format (512th) 6 TB. I use the HDD with ESXi on a HP proliant Gen 8 However, unless I am mapping the drive as IDE, AHCI or RAID controller (software) b120i doesn't seem to work.

  AHCI makes ESXi completely unstable so that the raid controller (RAID 0 is efficiently pass data) does not sees the data on the HARD disk correctly; the system does not start while on the bare metal, everything works fine.

  Note that in ESXi I'm passing the HDD as an RDM - mapping the drive in SATA IDE (aka Legacy) mode, seems to solve the problem... On smaller hard drives, the problem seems not to occur.

  I searched the forums, but I can't find any relevant information on ESXi 5.5 or 6.0 are indeed support Advanced Format HARD drive (and if so,) if there is no restriction or not.

  See you soon,.

  According to VMware KB: statement in support of the 512th native readers and 4 K for VMware vSphere and VSAN these discs are not yet supported for ESXi.

• "Re: Toshiba M10: replacement 7 k 200 with Advanced Format HARD drive" 7 K 750 HDD

  Can we see problems with the replacement of the original Hitachi TravelStar 7 K 200 (200 GB) HDD, that went into my two year old Toshiba Tecra M10 - 11 X, with a so-called 'Advanced Format' 7 K 750 (750 GB or maybe 640 GB) hard drive?

  Like the original, I want to dual-boot the new disk using three partitions:
  * Windows 7 32-bit
  * Data
  * Windows XP
  and would probably clone one disk to another (by increasing the size of the partition!) with the v5 of Macrium Reflect.

  I read up on top of the TravelStar 7 K 750 form, the alignment tool from Hitachi, Microsoft KnowledgeBase article 982018 "an update that improves the compatibility of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Advanced Format drives is available" Bit-tech http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/sto...t-hard-disks/1and so forth, but wonder if anyone has actually replaced the HDD with all original Advanced Format drives and could therefore have a certain experience to share?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  "I put t have experience using this advanced Format ' 7 K 750 HARD drive but in my opinion he should not a problem using this HARD drive.
  The laptop supports the SATA interface and if this HARD drive would also support the SATA controller, the HARD drive should be recognized too

  But of course, it is my personal opinion...

• Virtual machine XP on advanced format HDD

  Hello:

  I will soon replace it the hard drive of my MacBook Pro with a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 640 GB drive. This player has WD 4 sector k 'advanced format technology.

  Thank you

• Pavilion Elite m9600t: OS reinstall for HD "Advanced format" on Windows Vista

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9600t desktop provided with Windows Vista. Recently my 640 GB Hitachi hard drive gone bad. I ordered a new one (Seagate 1 TB), installed and tried to reinstall the Vista operating system with the provided HP Vista recovery disks.

  During installation, the following message appeared: "installation of Windows could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer." I did research and found this happens on Vista with discs advanced formatting (AF). My new record is AF.

  I have read some threads on the forum of HP who say that you can always do the operating system installed, but you have to do by creating a new disc of installation with your product key, and then mix a partitioning in there. I'm confused on where to find the ISO files for Vista (64-bit SP1), as well as how to partition before installing the operating system, and which must be partitioned.

  I have a drive to upgrade Vista to Windows 7, but I can't use it until Vista is installed. Is there a way I can ignore the Vista installation process and move to Windows 7? Who could help me to avoid the issue of the AF.

  Thank you!

  Hello:

  You can check this link to know how to clean your drive of W7 upgrade installation.  I assume you have the W7 upgrade of the key product that will be necessary.

  http://helpdeskgeek.com/Windows-7/clean-install-Windows-7-using-an-upgrade-disc/

  Another thing you can try, is to format your new drive to NTFS MBR and get rid of the advanced formatting.

  You can use this disk management software and create a bootable CD, and if everything goes well after you format the disc as it was supposed to be for your PC, you can use the recovery discs if the clean install from a disk upgrade W7 does not (because of the problem of the AF).

• Satellite A210 - 17l BIos update to take care of advanced format HARD drive problem

  Hi all

  Really hoping someone can help me with this.

  My old HDD not was not so I cloned the entire disc before it failed. -Just in time, too.

  I ordered a new drive - it's a WD scorpio black - Advanced format.

  Unfortunately I can't get my picture on this new album.

  Also, I am unable to do a reinstall with the original restore also cd because it doesn't have service pack 1 and that means that it can't recognize the HD.

  In any case id prefer to be able to restore my image and not make a re-install when even if possible.

  So my question is this:

  Y at - it an update of the bios I can ask my another pc version 2.00 is available which will include options to change the options of ide drive - ahci?

  It's the only solution I can think of-bearing in mind I do not have an operating system installed, so the alignment tools are not an option as another fix. -Fast technology of storage Intel drivers do not work, because I have an AMD athlon processor.

  So is there any BIOS I can Flash my computer with to activate the options mentioned?

  I have a method to Flash the bios with a BONE, so this isn't a problem.

  Also other suggestions for workaround on this more than welcome.

  Thanks :))

  Hello

  Update BIOS don t help you. To my knowledge, it does not add additional options such as a switch between AHCI and compatible mode.
  In addition, you can use ANY BIOS. You must use the BIOS that came out for the model of laptop. But as I said, this isn't a solution.

  In addition, the image of Toshiba already contains all the drivers in order to install the system. It s any SP1 isn t the image part.

  I guess you're talking about Vista OS, given that the laptop came with pre-installed Vista OS. http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/discontinued-products/Equium-A210-17I/

  I recommend you format the HARD drive first.
  Use a tool called Gparted. You can create a bootable USB key containing this tool.
  This allows to start Notepad in order to format the HARD drive.

• HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC: HP Envy 15 with SATA USB adapter 512th Advanced Format HARD drive

  Hello:

  I want to clone the HARD drive in my system via a USB to SATA Adapter for an identical external HARD drive - this record could then be used to get back in the quick business failure of internal drive. Internal and external drives are the types of advanced Format.  The drive is: HGST HTS541010A9E680. I see the 4 areas of native k when the disk is connecetd via a USB adapter?  So far, my older USB/SATA Adapter shows the areas 4096 bytes, not he emulated disk 512 byte sectors.

  Thank you

  Hi @teranz

  Thanks for the reply.

  Unfortunately the adapters can be hit or miss, not always reliable. You could talk to the manufacturer of the adapter for advice.

  Regarding booting from a USB key, it looks like you want to install the OS on a USB device. It is possible with some advanced configuration, but it is out of the reach of these forums. You may find help by searching for «portable Windows installation»

  Good luck

• E521 with advanced format ST500DM002 Player - do I need a SATA driver separated during the installation of Windows 7?

  Hello

  I have an E521 with 2 GB of Ram and X 2 processor. I want to install Windows 7 on a record nine of ST500DM002 (= native 4K advanced format). It will work without hassle, or will I have to install a SATA driver during installation? If Yes, which? I can't find the necessary information for the main card.

  Thank you, Andre

  Hi Andre,

  As you would expect, you will need the Windows 7 drivers RAID so that the installer of Windows recognize the drive. Our buddy rdunnill forum explains how to do this HERE. He included a link to NVIDIA support site where you can download the driver.

• Problem upgrading to 4K Advanced Format hard drive (Windows Update)

  I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, on a Lenovo ThinkPad W500 laptop. I am trying to upgrade my Seagate 320 GB hard drive for Western Digital WD-Blue 1 TB. The new drive has 4K (Advanced Format) sectors, as opposed to the sectors of 512 bytes, which seems to be the cause of some problems with Windows. The operating system loads, however, Windows Update will not work, and various programs give strange guests.
  The old drive was cloned to the new using Acronis True Image WD Edition. Alignment has been checked using Acronis WD Align. I clone the old drive. cleaning Windows installation is not an option.
  Microsoft has this article for what seems to be my problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982018. I have already run this file (before the cloning), but the problem remains.
  Online, I've read that it might help to install Intel RST 9.6 or later version. My Device Manager lists currently Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller (under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers); This is the version of the driver 8.9.2.1002. I tried updating the driver, but without success: I just got the message, "Windows has determined the software driver for your device is up-to-date.»

  I believe that the problem has been resolved, I downloaded Intel RST 9.6.0.1014. The latest version could not be installed on my machine and slightly older than more recent knocked out of my DVD player. Older than 9.6 had the problem with allowing a training of 4K, but 9.6 seems to have been appropriate.

• Satellite P300 - 18 M - HDD to the advanced format?

  The P300 - 18M has two 250 GB HDDs. The Toshiba MQ01ABD laptop drive series 1 TB announced recently has a thickness of 9,5 mm and would fit into the laptop.

  But uses MQ01ABD Advanced Format Technology 4 K sectors, so I'll be able to use a second draw in a P300?

  Hey,.

  Generally 4K drives are no problem for the computer but Windows XP doesn t supports this. So you must use Vista or better Windows 7 with advanced format HDDs.  ;)

• My HP Pavilion dv6-6c13nr Wireless Driver is not installed

  As said, the model number of my cell phone is dv6-6c13nr. Windows 7 my laptop was FUBAR to a computer virus that my sister managed to get on it somehow. I said to hell with it and just DBANed all of the hard disk and install a clean Windows 7 did. Everything was fine except the wireless driver adapter could install.

  I tried the Broadcom Wireless LAN Driver and the Ralink 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Adapter linked to the page of the driver of my PC model. On two of them, whenever I click on the downloaded file, nothing happens after having unpacked the file, no installer doesn't run. I tried to run regularly and running as long as administrator, I also tried to run the installation programs directly from where they were first decompress the C drive, on a regular basis and as an administrator.

  All other software on the driver of my PC model page and drivers installed just fine except the wireless, it's the only thing and the most important thing, that I can't seem to get on with the job. Windows 7 comes with the PC version was Windows 7 Home Premium, the version I have and that I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate. Not ultimate compatible drivers?

  I also held account install earlier versions of the drivers, but I can't find anywhere legacy versions that don't look like not fragmentary. I would really appreciate help with this.
