Omg What Has Gone Wrong Please Help

[bigjonnyauk]

right have looked at both of them and they say the following mate


0001

mastertimingmode allowed=0xffffffff(4294967295)

there is no SlaveDeviceTimingModeAllowed in this folder

just the following
slave device detection timeout
slave device timing mode
slave device type

in folder 0002
reads the following

mastertimingmode allowed=0xffffffff(4294967295
slave device timing allowed=0xffffffff(4294967295

there is also a user slavedevice timing mode allowed in this folder which reads

userslavetiming allowed = 0xffffffff(4294967295


just checked my hard drive on the ibm site and is a ata100 7200 speed 40 gig jobby and the leads i am using are upto ata133

so now i am just at a complete loss and in your hands

how can i pause that boot up screen so i can see exactley what it said cuz i know i saw ultra dma mode 5 there ?

so am i right in prosuming folder 0001 is my cdrw and folder 0002 is my hard drive and dvdrom

Press the pause key to pause the POST screens - simple, lol.

I'd try the previous suggestions of uninstalling your IDE channels from the device manager and rebooting - but first - get some updated motherboard drivers from your motherboard manufacturer - it's something I'm sorry to say we've overlooked in this thread.

If you know your motherboard has a via chipset, go to www.viaareana.com and get the latest "Hyperion" drivers from there.

[bigjonnyauk]

right i got the hyperion drivers loaded them still no joy there is one update for my mobo but that is just to allow a radeon card 8500 to work

on the boot up screen it quite clearly states hard drive number then ultra dma mode 5 smart enabled and ok


i am going insane

[Steve]

OK, uninstall the IDE channel and reboot.

[bigjonnyauk]

done this still the same mate i hope this is as much of a quest for you now as me i have lost count of the pages i have read from google lol

i have also swapped my cables round just incase

but still the same

[Steve]

There is always the hit it with a big stick approach.

Let me think about this one, lol.

[streetster]

are you definately using an 80-wire cable.. cos if you are using one of the older 40-wire you wont be able to acheive faster than ata33 (afaik?)..

mark

edit : 80-pin ide cable
40-pin ide cable

(sorry for crap pictures thats the best i could see on google heh)

got these i wonder if my hard drive as always been ultra 2 is there any jumper settings on back of hard drive apart from the master one

for anyone wanting to check it out this is the number

its a ibm deskstar number ic35l040avvn07-0

if i knew how to copy the damn registry folders i could paste them in here unts so you can have a nose mate

[streetster]

'export registry file..' i think its called (within regedit, in the toolbar), then you save it as a .reg file, which you could open up in notepad and then paste stuff across if needed, tho i dont see why you are having problems

[bigjonnyauk]

i prosume thats a figure of speech when you say you dont see why i am having probs lol i wish i knew

[streetster]

yeh i read it back, and it sounded a bit wierd heh, but i honestly dont see -how- there can be any problems, and those are the problems which are the most annoying as there is no logical explanation for them... i mean you have the right drivers, you have the right cable, you have a ata100 harddrive hmm... all you did was take your system apart then put it back together... computers are so fickle.

I would forget about the hyperion IDE drivers as they are a complete nightmare, they have caused me problems on several Via motherboards. I usually go with windows XP default via busmaster driver and I get no problems.

I have experianced this exact problem before. asicaly whenever you geta CRC error whilst reading/writing data to your HD it will automatically drop a DMA level until it gets to PIO mode, once its in PIO mode the only way to get it back to DMA is to unsinstall the primary IDe controller and reboot should reinstall itself and ask you to reboot again. if you get this problem over and over you probably have the problem I had with my maxtor 7200 80gig drive, in that it was buggered and had to be RMA`d

[bigjonnyauk]

i have had this hard drive around 20 months and i have to admit it gets used daily for a long time i have a massive audio collection on there do a lot of burning and my 2 kids play games on there

very recently (well last 2 months) i have noticed this has been making a bit of a grinding noise aswell only slight like something is catching

what you think it is about FUBAR

[bigjonnyauk]

g4z does it remember that it has dropped levels as i did unistall the primary ide controller and reinstall it and it did pick it up in dma mode but only mode 2 and not 5

but tbh i never really checked this until i noticed my machine going very slow so in all honesty this drive could have not been running at max from the start

got this new from a comp fair mmmmmmmmmm was it new

i do hope its not but it dosent sound very promising
