XP only sees 1 SATA drive

I recently installed an SSD in my Pavilion a1130n. I plan to use the old HD for storage of pictures by plugging it into a different port. The BIOS recognizes the two discs, but XP does not work. After much trial and error, it seems that any player is plugged into SATA port 1 is the only recognized player. Windows Explorer and disk management see nothing except what is in the SATA 1 port. The BIOS doesn't have many choices SATA except 'enable' or 'disable '. SSD SATA3 and my old motherboard Pavilion is SATA1. Who is the problem, and if so, can I get around it by installing a SATA controller in PCI Express available on the motherboard?

Thank you!

My computer specs are:

HP Pavilion a1130n
Product #: PX769AA
Serial No.: [redacted]
Windows XP SP3
120g Kingston SSD
Seagate Barracuda 250g HD
4 GB RAM

I solved the problem by buying a SATA controller I installed in the PCI Express slot. It took less than 15 minutes to install and costs $20. The SSD is in support of the card mother SATA 1. The HD is the newly installed controller. Both drives are accessible and everything works. I'm a happy camper!

  • SATA drives works only with Yosemite

    It's really a more of a question for the Apple forums, but I do not any progress on this, so I thought I'd throw it to the crowd here. Basically, I'm on Mac OS 10.8 and I wanted to go to CC2015. Can't do that, of course, unless I'm to 10.9. So I decided to jump straight to Yosemite, 10.10.

    Only problem, is that Yosemite does not see my searched external SATA drives! Someone else, by chance, met this problem? (BTW, if anyone has any suggestions on how to get 10.9 instead, I'd buy some... of course Apple there is no longer in the Apple store).

    Thanks, Geoff

    I think you can go to Detroit to 10.10.

    I had a similar problem with my Highpoint Raid card which doesn't see that my external hard drives after upgrade to Yosemite. A driver updated for the card did all this.

    So, probably, you will need to send an e-mail to the company of Raid and ask for help.

  • Can I use a SATA drive in the virtual host as a SCSI disk in virtual machine?

    I'm under (64-bit) 2008 R2 RC as host and VMware Workstation 6.5.2. I installed a linux VM, the distribution doesn't really matter, but now I use Debian 5.01 AMT64. I am trying to use SATA drives to the host as drive virtual in the VM, but not successful. Here's what I did.

    -In the virtual machine of VMware Workstation. Add - & gt; hard drive - & gt; use a physical disk - & gt; Choose the device (use entire disk) - & gt; Finishing

    The drive is affected as IDE drive. Here's the first question, I can use it as a SCSI drive? There are only 4 available in CD-ROM and VM IDE drive takes one. I want to be able to use 10 disks.

    -L' use above configuration, if I start the VM, I don't know where devices are. I can't find any device in the name of/dev/hda, / dev/hdb etc.

    Here is my second question. Where are the devices on a virtual computer that were created as virtual disks?

    Hello

    with 2 k 3, you won't have these problems.

    VMware affect physical as IDE disks if the host sees as IDE. He attributes as SCSI host sees the SATA or SCSI drives.

    If you want to change that - you can use this old post of mine. If the descriptor of uncertain post before use you it so that I make the changes.

  • HP envy 750: attempt to add to new PC SATA drive

    You want new 750-150xt to which I want to add my old Pavilion 6380 640 GB SATA drive.  6380 road was only the disk and the disk to boot under Windows 7 64-bit.  Envy has a 256GB SSD as boot drive and a data HD 1 TB drive.

    Pulled out of 6380 and added to the Bay, third player hooked up a new "SATA3" on MB black SATA cable and power cable to the drive then gave.  Noticed in passing that my SATA cable did not have a ground wire wrapped with her which was attached to the chassis of the new PC.

    By turning on the PC, it would not go beyond the HP splash screen.   Disconnected former player and removed, and the envy of 150 started very well except the logon screen "grated" for 1-2 seconds, then stabilized.  Seems to work normally.

    FYI - SATA3 socket on MB was a red taken versus black and only available SATA labeled sockets.  Others were all occupied.

    Any thoughts?

    So what is the connected CD drive? Must be the SATA 2. If she jumps from the 1 SATA to SATA 3 something should be available here. The question is not only the availability of a place to connect, it is that the software has progressed where you were with this player and Windows 8/10 uses a completely different approach to find and boot from hard drives.

    Hello

    Try to connect the external hard drive on another computer and check if the same problem persists.

    I suggest that you set the drive letter for the external hard drive and check if that helps.

    To assign a drive letter to a drive, a partition, or a volume, follow these steps:

    1. Sign in as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
    2. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click performance and Maintenance.

      Note If you do not see the performance and Maintenance, go to step 3. Performance and Maintenance appears in control Panel only if you use category view. If you are using the classic view, performance and Maintenance does not appear.

    3. Click Administrative Tools, double-click computer management, and then click disk management in the left pane.
    4. Right click on the drive, the partition, the logical drive or volume that you want to assign a drive letter to and then click change drive letter and paths.
    5. Click on Add.
    6. Click assign the following drive letter if it is not already selected, and then accept the default drive letter or click the drive letter that you want to use.
    7. Click OK.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can I put my SATA drive on my PC?

    I have an old HP Pavilion (very old) with 80 GB SATA a1220in. Yes, you think I do with such an old PC, but it is appropriate for my use, as I'm not a hardcore gamer or anything.

    So, what I want to ask is, can I put my hard drive on this PC? It's 80 GB which takes no time to fill up, and yes I can use the external hard drive, but I don't want to attach an external hard drive whenever I start my PC. And added, I want to Dual boot in another operating system.

    Most of the time the drives built for the Protocol SATA II will also work with the controller in the PC in discussion.  It's questionalbe whether SATA III or SATA 6.0 GB drives will be unless they expressly declare that they can be made to work with it.  SATA II or SATA 3.0 GB usually can be changed either with a rider or a software to run on the SATA I controller.  The link you show referencing the SATA I or SATA (serial ATA-150 - what your motherboard calls it) explains the old SATA: SATA revision 1.0 - 1.5 Gbit/s - 150 Mbps

    I suspect only an old SATA revision 1.0-1.5 Gbit/s - 150 MB/s will be hard to find, but a SATA II drive, which can be set with a jumper will work fine. See this page from WD:http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/search/1/a_id/1337/c/130/p/227, 294

    BTW: Find a SATA II WD drive which has the jumper and it will be fine.

    Thanks, Bev... screw seems to be the only parts I have.

    I am therefore reason to believe that I can put only two disks sata in this 8500, right? and we're already here, so I can really only add one, correct?

    Where are you going to get the good SATA cable?

    the manual referenced does not something specific on SATA wiring part I looked. Should not be too much of a pest, but do you have a specific reference.

    Rick,
     
    Yes, you can add an additional hard disk, the disk hard primary exsisting. to add several internal hard drives, you need an open 3.5"/5.25" bay and to install more than four SATA drives, SATA PCIe x 1 expansion card would be necessary.
     
    You should be able to buy a SATA data cable in a store of the local computer, or www.newegg.com for more details, go here,
     
     
    Better to use a local store to save the S & H
     
    Sorry to say, that the manual is the only reference that Dell has released, as most newer Dell manuals, missing many details.
     
    Install the secondary hard drive is usually relatively in line forward, you must connect the data cable to a SATA connector on the motherboard, and after installation checking the installation process, to see if the drive is recognized.
     
    If the drive is recognized in the installation program for Windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be patitioned, formatted and received a drive letter using disk Windows 7 Manager.

  • 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.
