Seagate HD Not Setting DMA Mode

Nov 20, 2007

XP Home, Asus P4C800-E MB, 2 hard drives on IDE 1: both work fine at UDMA 6.Second IDE has my DVD burner in the master position and works fine at UDMA 4.I'm using the proper cable, plus I also tried a new one when installing the drive. I installed a 320 gb Seagate ST3320620A ATA100 into the Secondary Slave position and jumpered it as shown on Seagate's website (no jumpers). I made three partitions, and formatted them as per instructions in XP's Disk Management. They all show as 'healthy' in Windows. The only thing is that my computer has slowed to a crawl, with a re-boot taking about 7 minutes. I checked Dev. Mgr. and saw that the burner was at UDMA 4, but the new drive was at PIO mode, even though 'DMA if available' was selected. I tried Bob's suggestion of changing the settings back and forth and also deleting the secondary IDE channel and rebooting, but nothing works. It remains in PIO mode. I checked all the settings in the bios and they seem correct. Tried alternatives too, but it didn't change anything. On bootup, the bios screen shows all the drives correctly, the drive in question as UDMA 5. I have Windows 98SE on drive 1 on the Primary IDE with Windows XP Home on the second drive, to allow a dual boot. It has worked well until I tried installing this new hard drive. I removed it and installed it in a second machine and it is the Master on the Secondary IDE, with nothing in the slave position. Still in PIO mode. This other machine is also a dual-boot with 98SE on the first HD and XP Pro on the second, both on the Primary IDE.The 3 partitions are in NTFS format and all drives are visible in Dev. Mgr. and all partitions are visible in My Computer.

Added New 250gig Seagate To - How To Partition

Sep 29, 2006

I added a new 250 gig ATA Seagate drive to my son's EMachine 2882. I added it as a Slave drive (setting jumper to slave and placing on the end of the parallel cable) to use for backing up purposes.Everything is fine, I think. Went into Disk Management and attempted to partition the un allocated new disk. For some strange reason, everytime I try to partition the disk it appears to be (not sure) but it appears to be creating 8 megabyte partitions? Do I have some setting in the BIOS that needs tweaking? I am not a total idiot, but I am beginning to wonder! Can anyone please get me on the right track here? XP does recognize the Seagate drive but something is screwy with the formatting process.

My C Drive recently crashed and I replaced it with a Seagate 7200 - 80 Gb Harddrive. I also installed Windows XP - Home Edition. First thing I did when I had it up and running was to look at the Properties for the Drive.I shows it as being 7.82 Gb. I phoned my installer and told him about my problem and he suggested that I go to the Seagate Website and get a Seagate disk overlay.

Enable To Repair Drives: Get Logs On Restart After Repair?

Aug 24, 2005

Problems started was when i updated my Zone Alarm firewall, windows works absolutely fine no problems what so ever, then next time i reboot it does the same, this time problems are non-stop until about 10% then fine from there on in, then when it finishes repairing the drive it gets stuck at repairing unreadable security descriptions date stream.

It also said whilst recovering orphaned files insufficient disk space to recover lost files. It stopped for a while then carried on. After scan disk it restarted and wouldn't load windows, just got stuck on windows loading screen forever, eventually 15+ minutes i pressed reset as there was no disk activity.

Seagate Tools Ghosting New Drive Shows Less

Mar 2, 2008

I have a Seagate 120gb HD and used the Seagate Wizard Tools that I downloaded from them to ghost (clone) to a new Western Digital 160gb HD. They are both 7200rpm and SATA. The new drive boots up ok but only shows 128gb, not 154gb as it did before it was cloned (I am not talking about the size of the data that was cloned). I redid it in Manual mode but no change. As far as I know there are no partitions on the Seagate drive. Another thing I noticed is that the System Files were at the front of the Seagate 120gb drive but are at the end on the WD 160gb. This shows when the drives are Defraged. Can anybody sort this out for me? I am doing this so that I have a backup drive incase of a terminal crash. Forgot, I am using a Intel 915gag w/P4@3.2 and W2000Pro with all updates.

Computer Wont Recognize External Seagate Drive?

Jul 10, 2005

I have an external USB 300GB Seagate drive that used to work fine.Then, periodically XP would not recognize when I turned it on. A re-boot would fix the problem. Now, XP won’t recongnize the drive at all. I get an "unknown device" error. I have a USB 2.0 card I plug the drive into, and all other devices in that card work fine. The device driver manager says all is well, except of course with the "unknown device" it notes, which is the external drive.

Nov 30, 2008

I recently had a bad hard drive (It need the windows xp cd to boot) and saw that the problem was bad blocks. I decide to buy a new hard drive and use ghost to clone it. But, now i have the same problem with the new hard drive. After a while, i realize that obviously, if the disk was cloned, ONLY the information that can be copied was transfered to the other one.In conclusion, how can I resolve this issue without using system repair. the problem is that once i use this tool and then IE won't work. at last I had to format the drive.

How To Repair Without CD?

Jul 21, 2005

I have a laptop with a proprietary CD that will only reformat the hard drive and load a ghost XP operating system. Is there any way to repair XP without having a MS XP disk, short of buying a MS XP system disk? By the way, I cannot stress enough the importance of backups. I use an external USB HD and do weekly full and daily differentials with NTBACKUP. When my laptop HD crashed, I was able to easily recover 100% of my files (less XP restore points, of course).

PC Won't Boot And CD Won't Repair

Mar 23, 2008

I've done a bit of searching on here and thought I'd found a way out of my problem but it seems not. Briefly my PC keeps looping on start up, it won't start in safe mode, last known config etc, so after reading here I've popped in a XP CD to do a repair but from instructions I didn't chose the 'r' function but pressed 'enter' to start the setup. I accepted the licence agreement and the PC found 2 partitions but I don't get the option to 'repair'. All I can do is 'end' the setup as I don't want to wipe my data

Pro SP3 Repair Asking For Asms

Apr 6, 2010

I upgraded from xp pro sp2 to sp3 and after that computer was very slow. So I repaired SP3 and during that process it started asking for 'asms' file. Even though the sp3 cd(which i burnt from a ISO image) had the asms folder it does seem to sense the cd. I am really stuck now because, even if I reboot my pc without the cd it goes to windows setup asks for 'asms' file. Even in safe mode it says windows setup cannot proceed in safe mode it reboots.Kindly help me on what can I do now so that either i can get thru with the 'asms' file or is there a way I can revert back to sp2 and do any possible recovery so that I can go into windows and backup my files.

Cannot Repair Booting With CD

Apr 14, 2007

Right now I am having big problems with my PC. I cannot load Windows or boot in safe mode because I get this error message: MSVPC60.dll is missing, etc... .After that, the PC just hangs to a black screen. - I cannot repair Windows XP using traditional methods found on Google, such as booting with the Windows CD and going into setup and then repairing ( not using recovery console). Second, I have already tried one method in the recovery console : http://www.short-media.com/articles/repair_windows_xp, This method has eliminated a few errors ( Im now down to only MSVPC60 ) but it is enough to prevent me from doing anything.

Running Repair On XP

Jul 2, 2009

I'm trying to run a repair on windows xp, using the installation disk. I get to the point where I am suppose to choose the operation system that I want to repair but it is not there. It gives me the correct drive but there is no indication of the operating system. Since it is not there I can not choose "r" to repair. My only option is to install of quit. I'm guessing something happened when I originally installed xp.

Trying To Repair Pro By Re-installing

Mar 9, 2007

I need to re-install XP pro because I have been having issues. I want to do it so I dont loose everything so I wanted to re-install from boot. I checked my settings to be sure I boot from cd first and it does. Well I get to the point where I can hit any key to boot from cd and the system then continues on to load from the harddrive. The cd never starts. I finally went and opened the cd from the drive itself. One of the choices then is to install XP but it mentions I would loose everything.The CD is Xp Pro full version dist with new systems. What am I doing wrong? Its been a long time since I re-installed.

How To Repair Installation

Oct 18, 2004

Make sure the BIOS is set to boot from the CD (put the CD above the HD in the boot order) Insert the XP CD and boot to it When you see " To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER", go ahead and press ENTER You will now see an option to repair Windows by pressing "R". Do not select this option - it will only take you to the Recovery Console which is not what we want to do. Instead, choose to continue the installation When you see the license agreement, press F8 to agree On the next screen make sure your current XP installation is selected and then press "R" to repair XP At this point XP will begin to install on top of itself, replacing damaged, missing or altered system files. Follow the instructions on the remaining screens to complete the Repair Install. It will look very much like a normal (new) OS installation. If all goes well your repaired XP installation will remain iintact, keeping your personalized settings and installed programs as they originally were. Remember, choose the second repair option, not the first.
