ryno267 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I've been using this computer at work for about 7 months now with no changes in hardware, and all of a sudden yesterday my computer started pausing intermittently for about 0.5 seconds every 3-5 seconds. The Event Viewer says this: Event Type: Error Event Source: atapi Event Category: None Event ID: 9 Date: 5/12/2004 Time: 9:19:49 AM User: N/A Computer: DESIGN1 Description: The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort1, did not respond within the timeout period.

Out of all the googling and M$ searching.. all I can find is that it's a problem with a cd drive and usually happens when there is bad media in the drive... I haven't put a cd in either of the two drives in there for a few weeks and I'm getting this error... When I reboot - the system seems fine for a while, then out of the blue it just starts doing the interval pausing, where the mouse stops - audio stops (keeps same sound for whole pause period).. its just weird. I could understand if I just installed the drive or made changes or something.. but what the heck? Can anybody else lend some insight on this? thanks...

ryno267 Posted May 12, 2004 Author Share Posted May 12, 2004 I think i MAY have fixed it... though I want to know if anybody knows what PIO only mode is in device manager. Went into Device Manager Then IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers Then Changed Device 1 to "PIO Only" mode instead of "DMA if available" after a reboot is seems to be fine for a while now... So what did I change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold_Fortune Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 ryno267, I bumped into this thread by doing a Google search. I've been experiencing this same problem. I'm getting the same error when I insert a data DVD disc. My system will hang and I'll need to reboot. The disc looks okay once I can finally open it once I've rebooted. So it's not the disc...as the error report insists it should be. I am going to try your fix for myself. Has your fix permanently fixed the problem? It sure would be nice if someone else could help us out here. Anyone know anything about this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold_Fortune Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I found this... http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/IDE-DMA.mspx Apparently, some systems cannot support the Enable UDMA 66.... REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000] "EnableUDMA66"=dword:00000001 That'll teach me to apply a tweak I don't know much about. It worked, or at least, seemed to work on my other system, but I guess my new system doesn't approve of it. Thanks for your input, ryno267. I was totally lost before I bumped into your post. I applied the changes you did....Then Changed Device 1 to "PIO Only" mode instead of "DMA if available" I changed each of the settings in both the Primary IDE Channel and the Secondary IDE Channel. I hope I did right to change both. Come on people, how about some input? ryno267 posted this back on May 12 and no one has responded. Are we the only ones experiencing this problem?
