Recommended Posts

Hi

i have an error in the eventlog

orig atapi

  Quote
In the event viewer there are two event ID 9: The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort2 , did not respond within the timeout period.

i tried the utility to check the hard disk , i did several test and after i changed the cable and the errors disapear

i know after some errors for example due a rotten cable xp slow down the hard disk

is there a way to reset it?

i mean there is a registry key to reset and bring them to full speed

thanks

have a nice day

So your computer is showing the disk in PIO mode vs Ultra DMA?

This just came up in another thread -- here you go.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817472

IDE ATA and ATAPI disks use PIO mode after multiple time-out or CRC errors occur

To re-enable the typical, or faster, transfer mode for an affected device:

1. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management.

2. Click System Tools, and then click Device Manager.

3. Expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers node.

4. Double-click the controller for which you want to restore the typical DMA transfer mode.

5. Click the Driver tab.

6. Click Uninstall.

7. When the process completes, restart your computer. When Windows restarts, the hard disk controller is re-enumerated and the transfer mode is reset to the default value for each device that is connected to the controller.

thanks you so much

ultra dma working

but i get some time out

so i guess xp will slow down my hard disk soon

but at the restart xp will install the right drivers?

In the article it talks about changing some reg keys so that its not total errors but a specific number of consecutive errors before the mode drops to a lower one.

Yes this works, I have used the method in the past. But if your still getting errors to the disk - you got something else wrong other than the cable that you replaced.

# In Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, this time-out value is always 10 seconds.

# An alternate, less-aggressive policy is implemented to reduce the transfer mode (from faster to slower DMA modes, and then eventually to PIO mode) on time-out and CRC errors. The existing behavior is that the IDE/ATAPI Port driver (Atapi.sys) reduces the transfer mode after any 6 cumulative time-out or CRC errors. When the new policy is implemented by this fix, Atapi.sys reduces the transfer mode only after 6 consecutive time-out or CRC errors. This new policy is implemented only if the registry value that is described later in this article is present.

Follow these steps, and then quit Registry Editor:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.

2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0001

3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.

4. Type ResetErrorCountersOnSuccess, and then press ENTER.

5. On the Edit menu, click Modify.

6. Type 1, and then click OK.

Follow these steps, and then quit Registry Editor:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.

2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0002

3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.

4. Type ResetErrorCountersOnSuccess, and then press ENTER.

5. On the Edit menu, click Modify.

6. Type 1, and then click OK.

Note The numbered subkeys that are listed earlier correspond to the primary and secondary IDE channels on a computer that contains a single IDE controller. If your computer contains two IDE controllers, the numbered subkeys for the primary and secondary IDE channels for each of the two controllers may be:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0002

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0003

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0004

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0005

To verify that you have located the correct subkey, verify that the DriverDesc value for the subkey contains the string value "Primary IDE Channel" or the string value "Secondary IDE Channel."

this method

5. Click the Driver tab.

6. Click Uninstall.

7. When the process completes, restart your computer. When Windows restarts, the hard disk controller is re-enumerated and the transfer mode is reset to the default value for each device that is connected to the controller.

    • Isn't the CPU used to calculate the parity for the RAID? If so, the combination of SSDs and 10GBe might make the CPU more important
    • yeah GSMA began working to enable end to end encryption between android and iphone last year and apparently a new standard was developed. apple has said that they would implement this in "future software updates" but i haven't heard anything since march, the time this was all reported on. shortly after, i read on forbes that the FBI suggests not sending texts between iphone and android because they're unencrypted. i use signal to chat with my wife but i'd rather just use messages tbh (she has an iphone), i'm not really a 3rd party guy haha
    • Well, I did not like the trailer for the project he went to work on also, but why do you think he should waste time with this… did you love the season 2?
