WD360 - K8V Se Deluxe Motherboard - Detect Hard Drive
Dec 19, 2004
When I try installing Windows XP Pro on the hard drive I can't seem to get the hard drive detected. I actually get to see it in windows XP and as well as in the BIOS, but when it gets to the installaton, It just won't see it. So my mother board is an Asus K8V SE Deluxe and my hard drive is a Western Digital Serial ATA drive 10000 RPM model number: WD360.
I tried the windows xp pro titanium 1.0 with service pack 2. Still couldn't detect it. I also tried many drivers from the internet, all of them were boot disks. That din't work either. I actually never checked the jumpers, I know there is no slave/master... on the drive but where is it suposed to be placed by default? Also I have 2 other IDE hard drives, but formatted in NTFS and my Raptor one is in Fat32, does it have anything to do with it? One also has Windows XP on it.

In device manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers -> Primary Controller for Device 0 under advanced settings the transfer mode is set to: DMA if avaliable, the Current Mode is: PIO Mode.The hard drive is a 80G western Digital i think the WD800JD which is on its own ide cable connected to the primary connector on the motherboard. I am using windows XP Professional and the PCCHIPS MB. Also, when i start up my computer and it detects the devices for the hard drive it says its in Ultra DMA Mode 4 or 5, but in windows it isnt.

When I attempted to start my computer, which is running Windows XP Professional Edition, this morning, I received an error message saying
Invalid Boot.ini
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
WindowsSystem32Hal.dll
I researched this issue in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, which said to boot from the Windows XP CD-ROM and use the Recovery Console to perform the repairs. However, when I did, it said that Windows could not detect any hard drives and could not continue.

When trying to install Win XP SP2 there was always a message telling me that it coudn't detect the HDD (Checked Bios, it is detecting everything: Processor, Ram, DVD units and HDD) Well, after several times trying, i decided to put the HDD on my nephew's computer and install Win XP w/o the drivers. Back to my system, connected the HDD and turn it on, but when the XP logo appears, the system reboots, and it happened every time i tried it.
Having a copy of Vista (30 days sample) i decided to install it, and it was installed w/o problems, everything was perfect.So (at last) my cuestion is ...Can i install Win XP on this system? or,there is a feature on P35 that only accept Vista?, orthere is something that i forgot to do? I want XP and not Vista (I will need to buy Vista and I dont have $$$, yet)

Recently my hard drive crapped out on me so I had to take my external hd and use the as my internal hd.... everything worked as far as installing windows xp etc. I have a cable modem with a wireless router (which works because I'm on the laptop now), so I figured I'd hop on the internet and download some drivers etc... Well here lies the problem, computer isn't picking up the internet and when I used my ISP's cd, the cd told me that i didn't have a network adapter... I do have a network adapter; it's built into the motherboard. I downloaded a driver from intel and burned the *.exe onto a cd and ran it in hopes that it would work.

The motherboard in my emachine was fried. i removed my maxtor hard drive and put it in another computer as the master drive but it would not boot. then i put it it as a secondary drive and it was recognized the drive but i cannot access the files in documents and settings for my user name because it is password protected. it says access is denied. i know the password but there is no option to give the computer the password.how can i access those files now? or is there a way to make the drive boot as a master?

Before I start, I should tell you all that I am re-posting this with all of the original correspondence at the end.I've done as described, put both drives back into their proper place on the tape and into the proper order (DVD-RW - master, DVD-ROM - slave). On a hunch, I decided to pop in a DVD-R disc, and this was detected just fine. I also put in a DVD-RW disc, but it was not detected. Seeing as how I have data I want to append to an old DVD-RW disc, is there anything left to do?

I wanted to burn a CD and so I put the CD into the computer and opened up windows media but it can't detect the disk or the drive. I went to another burner and the same thing occured except this time I got a message saying the following: "There are no compatible CD drives reported."I then exited and popped in a disk for a game.. I hear the drive accept the disk and it sounds like it is about to load but nothing happens. Its like the cd drive is non functional. My question is what might have happened and can I fix this/ how?

I wanted to do is remove Vista from it and reinstall XP. I have already run DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke) to wipe the drive, but WinXP does not detect the drive. I have Windows XP Pro SP1. Now, I have tried the recovery CDs to ensure the drive has not been deemed unrecognisable from DBAN. It still is recognised, both in the BIOS and by the recovery software, but my XP CD doesn't even see it. What I was thinking of was slipstreaming SP2 into my CD. So I need to know two things:
1. Would doing that make any difference?
2. How do I go about slipstreaming SP2 onto my CD?

I am having problems getting my XP Home O.S. to boot on new motherboard. I have run Windows startup disk and repair but still nothing. The drive is being detected in BIOS and hangs at start up. I am trying to not lose the data.Do I need to add partition or Flash Bios or something? Replace old BIOS with new BIOS via slave drive on another computer?

I recently recieved my new seagate 160 gig HDD to replace my old one. According to the instruction manual, any versions of XP prior to sp1 and 2 will detect the drive as 137gig instead of 160. The install disk I have, however, is for XP without sp1. What would be the best approach? The software included with the drive gives you the option to transfer the boot info to the new drive (but i doubt that installs windows), and to format it to 137gig and later "expand the partition".

I used Regseeker *sigh* and now my slave drive is not detected. It does not show up in the device manager list. What may I have removed to cause this? I think Regseeker backed up the registry files I deleted. I tried to restore the files and received an error...
If any more details are needed let me know.

I recently installed Xilinx ISE 6.3i (a software to program digital design circuits)After the installation I found out that every time I plug in my USB Flash Drive, the system does not recognize it. I spotted the reason was this program. In one of the step of installation, this option appears:"Platform Cable USB Driver (IMPORTANT: OS support info bellow)The Platform Cable USB utilizes driver technology that requires Win2000 SP4 or greater or WinXP SP1 or greater. You may install this driver now if you do not have the proper version, but the cable will not work properly until you upgrade your OS version."

I have a Dell computer where one of the loading .dll files came up 'missing' one day, so it won't boot. I want to get all the photos and other docs off the hard drive. I had downloaded one version of linux and was able to see the files on the internal hard drive, but was unable to copy them to a memory stick or external hard drive. Now I've downloaded ubuntu and booted off a memory stick... this time, it's telling me that the internal hard drive has all kinds of bad sectors and won't let me access any of the files on there.

I recently purchased a new MOBO for my first build a few weeks ago (ASUS msn32 SLI Deluxe), and it has a few nice little utilities that make the experience of building a PC a fun one - that is, until you try to use them! lol~AI Gear is a utility that (with the interface of a gear shift) allows you to up the power of your processor, or to go into a power saving mode, if you will.
AI Booster is a very cool little OC'ing utility that makes it easier for newbie people like myself to OC within a controlled environment without the fear of screwing something up in the BIOS.Now AI Gear and AI Booster can't run at the same time. So if AI Booster is set up to launch on start up, there's a pop up that will prompt you to disable AI Gear so the booster can be used.

My laptop died and I removed the hard drive.i hooked the hard drive up to my new laptop via a SATA/IDE cable.
I can see the old hard drive in the E drive and it appears that all the contents are there by the size of the hard drive (same as when I had it in the old laptop) but I can only see, actually view, a very small percentage of the drive.
My goal: I want to transfer all old music, word documents and photos from old laptop into new laptop.

trying to download z.a. firewall on my new hp laptop.Every time I boot up, first thing that pops up is a window that is showing a folder called zone deluxe games. The typical Zone alarm icon is not showing up as "working" down in the toolbar. It seems there must be a conflict with za and windows firewall on
this puter.
