Answer» Another Squall? Quote from: Trizle1 on January 02, 2009, 12:14:46 AM Hellwhore BC prog, you dont have to know the CMOS setup b4 you know what to do,let an error msg be your guide. Get ittt.... Yes, you would need to know the CMOS settings, since I'm fairly sure that is where the drive would be disabled, or the setting changed from the universal default of [Auto] which you recommend it be changed to. Unless you are ACTUALLY referring to using the "HDD IDE autodetect" feature of many motherboards, which would be a flawed technique for many reasons. It adds them to the Table as Drive type 47, and specifies the disk geometry explicitly. While this will function as long as the same drive is present, it will cause issues when replacing drives or swapping master/Slave arrangements, as the computer will now be accessing the devices using the wrong geometry. I've personally seen this cause an entire hard drives data to be corrupted. Additionally, since using the "Autodetect" feature simply uses the same information returned by the default [Auto] setting in the BIOS, it provides over using that option. Last but most importantly, as specified previously, most autodetect options are related to IDE drives (since SATA, as far as I'm aware, has it's own PnP MECHANISMS), which should completely preclude any such recommendation. This is almost surely an issue between XP and SATA, which was ALREADY rectified, by somebody who bothered to read and comprehend the entire post, and additionally was aware of the issues XP has with SATA drives: Quote from: killerb255 on January 01, 2009, 02:43:59 PM Ah, SATA.

Can't even be bothered to use the underscore or the full name even, which confuses me further. Was it intended towards me? Or his cat,Bee C. Prague? One can only guess... Hmm. Bee C. prague is a good name for a pet, I'm writing it down... Oh, I already have. nevermind. Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on January 02, 2009, 03:26:18 AM Another Squall? Squall will just use the emoticon if he is angered, he doesn't give pet names.Be C prog B Cee prague Be See prag.......... The possibilities are endless...Quote from: Trizle1 on January 02, 2009, 12:14:46 AM ********* BC prog, you dont have to know the CMOS setup b4 you know what to do,let an error msg be your guide. Get ittt....There is no need for immature name calling on this forum. Its okay if someone contradicts what you say, and its fine if you correct them if they happen to be wrong. Its not fine to go about flaming other members. It seems this user still needs the question answered, and none of this is helping. Everyone here is capable of having a clear and clean mind. Use that ability. Quote from: ZYLSTRA on January 03, 2009, 06:47:06 PM It seems this user still needs the question answered, and none of this is helping. I've given the user one option: Quote from: killerb255 on January 01, 2009, 02:43:59 PM Ah, SATA.I think what really needs to happen is the OP needs to return. |
