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...

    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.

  • Satellite C50-A-1 - Win XP SATA driver needed

    I would like to install windows xp, but it is impossible, that there is no driver AHCI and SATA. Already I tried to incorporate all possible, but do not work please help

    Win XP drivers are not available for this model of laptop and I really don't understand why someone would want to go back to the old Win XP.
    Win XP is gone... its not supported by Microsoft more and its not supported by Toshiba for this series of portable...

    The installation of Win XP IMO is a bad idea...

    However, try to install driver (add) the Intel AHCI which you can download from the Intel download page.

    By the way: some BIOSES beginning supported the switch between the AHCI mode and compatibility mode.
    Choose compatibility mode, it was possible to install Win XP without the driver SATA.

    Hello

    There are limited resources,

    (a) use Data transmission cable, something like one of the following thread:

    http://au.price-selector.com/search?k=easy%20transfer%20cable & cid = 1-3-1-1-3

    (b) another option: buy an IDE HARD drive case and put the old HDD on it, you can transfer data and use it as a HARD drive external.

    Kind regards.

  • There is an option in the bios to set the sata drive * IDE *-mode?

    There is an option in the bios to set the sata drive * IDE *-mode?

    Grobi

    Hi dude

    That s a funny question.
    No, there is no option in the BIOS!

    Please understand that there are various interfaces to drive HARD. IDE and SATA.

    There is a big difference between the two interfaces and the function of the HARD disk on the motherboard controller, you could use a HDD IDE or SATA HDD.

    But you cannot connect a SATA HDD to IDE or IDE HDD controller for the SATA controller. This is not possible due to different hardware.
    This is not possible and that's why these BIOS settings are not available or don t exist!

  • HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

    Hello

    Your laptop seems to be a Satellite L300 - 03C PSLB8C-03C01X.
    As already indicated on your first visit to thread the Toshiba Canada page and choose this model of laptop on the driver page.
    http://209.167.114.38/support/download/ln_bymodel.asp

    Then download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (SATA) - image of floppy drive. It of for Vista, but the files in this package should work with Win XP too.
    Include these files using nLite to create the new disk Win XP that contains SATA drivers.

    Finally use this disk to start.

  • New to Blu - Ray SATA drive not identified in BIOS

    Precision 690

    Win XP Pro

    Hello

    Tried to install a Blu - Ray Pioneer BDC-202 BK player in the PC above, plug it into one of the SATA sockets on the motherboard (marked HDD_1 through HDD_4). I plugged the drive to each of these shots and allowed all SATA drives in BIOS and the player is not detected in BIOS or in Windows. I have also tried to change the shape of controller SATA AHCI to ATA.

    There is power to it (can open the drive Bay) and the LED lights during startup. I also noticed that the startup initialization part takes an age, most Windows crashes on loading in place (but eventully appears and works very well. All works ok once the player is disconnected.

    The player does not appear in Device Manager.

    My feeling is that the player is defective I tried to use connect it via a SATA/USB converter without success.

    This is the first time I tried to install a SATA device so my other thought is miss me an obvious step.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Someone has drivers SATA for Win XP 64-bit for Satellite A300D-15B?

    Kind regards
    Ganesh

    Hello

    As far as I know this laptop Satellite A300D-15B was equipped with AMD chipset and therefore the SATA driver should be part of the ATI graphic driver.

    But you can also install the Win XP without the SATA drivers.
    In the BIOS, you will need to set the mode SATA from AHCI to compatible.

    Then you should be able to install Win XP on this laptop.

    Press the power button and then press the F10 key to access the BIOS. Run the hard drive Diagnostics. What I saw in my investigation shows it's a 160 GB SATA hard drive.

    There are a few ways that you can use to solve the problem.  You can try the online scanner of ESET.com to remove the offending code or you can try Malwarebytes. MalwareBytes is recommended by some members of the forum, and there is a free version. The ESET online scanner is also free. I prefer the ESET online scanner.

    The simpler but more radical solution would be to make a recovery to factory state using the HP Recovery Manager. You should be able to access the market with the F11 key recovery manager. If this isn't the case, you can use your set of recovery disks. The downside of the HP recovery solution is that you will lose all data and programs you have on your laptop. advantage is that everything works again once you have installed the drivers.
