SATA HD not recognised in Win XP SP2
Posted on 2006-07-20
Western Digital WD250JS 250Gb HD shown in bootup display screen but not found in WinXP SP2
Ran Data Lifeguard Tools from WD to install drive however it cannot find the drive.
Device manager has no entry in hard drives section (other than the IDE windows HD) or for sata or scsii devices
Initially I had to add jumper to WD250JS HD as the Asus A8V-E Delux m/board does not enable SATA 2 so the drive had to be throttled to 150mb/s sata 1 standard. (this info from WD website)
Any suggestions guys?
hardware etc:
AMD Athlon 64 bit 3000+ processor
Asus A8V-E Delux m/board (southbridge VIA VT8237R chipset the problem with SATA 2)
2GB generic ram
x1 WD250JB IDE HD (windows drive recognised)
Win XP Professional 2002 SP2 op sys

and you have connected the drive to the normal sata connector, not to the raid section?
asus drivers installed when xp installed
tried the other brand new cables and sata socket
normal sata socket used not raid
wd hd installation software Data Lifeguard Tools used
when booting the Sata master drive shown on screen so bios must "see" it
in windows no drive found

When you installed the System, you did it on The SATA on on the ATA ??
If you did it on the SATA, have you loaded the SATA Drivers, by pressing the F6 key in the Setup Console, right on the start . . .
Best Regards !

" asus drivers installed when xp installed "

Because if Windows installs on the disk, then he MUST see it, in order to work . . . So I say :)

"... other than the IDE windows HD ..." ==> XP is installed on the IDE drive ("... the IDE windows HD ...")
There appears some confusion as to where the operating system is installed
The Windows XP Prof SP2 operating system is installled on the original IDE drive WD250JB IDE HD (windows drive recognised)
The NEWLY INSTALLED SATA drive Western Digital WD250JS 250Gb HD is shown in bootup display screen but not recognised in windows or more importantly in the WD HD installation software Data Lifeguard Tools (windows version) it cannot find the drive.
Disk management also does not "see" this SATA drive

"nobus" asks:
did you try other SATA connectors and cables ? YES
and you have connected the drive to the normal sata connector, not to the raid section? YES
and in disk management? DOES THIS MEAN IS IT "SEEN" IN DISK MANAGEMENT? If so no.

I think your question was fairly clear about XP being on the IDE drive. Is the SATA channel enabled in the BIOS?
... by the way, there is NO reason to run Data Lifeguard. It does nothing you can't do in Disk Management.

If you're using the SATA power connector, try switching to a molex connector. I've seen cases where this drive was more reliably detected with the legacy power connection.

nobus -- that's a fairly common setting; SATA controller can be set to RAID or to IDE, which simply means it "looks" like a single IDE drive to the system.
