Either nothing works (drive unseen) or it's fine. I have googled this extensively and have not found a problem like this.
I read that you have to reduce the SATA to SATA1 with jumpers for the VIA VT8237 chipset, which the mobo uses. The last disk was formatted in the shop, and XP can see the disk, but if I do anything with it, I get VIA error messages in the system event log and long pauses where the PC is unresponsive. Same thing happened, so replaced again, same thing. I returned the disk and got a replacement. Under XP, the formatting of the drive failed. I'm not clear if this is expected, I'd guess not the Long test sits at 0% complete forever and the LBA counter goes through 3-4 iterations then hangs. However if I run the latest seatools for DOS (from the UBCD) is the latest version, it passes the short test but hangs the long test. It's been working fine for 3 years My son has filled up the disks so thought I'd add a 4th SATA disk ?įitted a maxtor TM3250310AS 250Gb drive using one of the 2 free sata sockets.īIOS can see all the disks fine, including the SATA disk. I have 3 IDE drives and a DVD combo drive. I installed the latest VIA and BIOS patches from the ASrock site and am up to date. Been working fine, installed XP which is upgraded to SP3. have a home built PC using an ASrock 775Dual VSTA mobo.
