Re: [H] AHCI vs SATA support on ICH9R controller
Replying to my own post with additional info... I have done further investigation of this problem and have come to the conclusion that you can't hot swap if you select RAID in the bios. Even though RAID is supposed to be a superset of AHCI, I have not found a way to hot swap the "single" drives attached to the ICH9R controller. Running the Intel Matrix Storage Manager indicates the single drives are using NCQ, but they do not show up in the "safely remove hardware" control. I have googled the problem and keep coming up with posts regarding changing to AHCI to enable hot-swap or people with the same problem as I have. Lots of answers saying IT SHOULD be hot swappable according to Intel's website, but no one who actually claims to be able to do it. Selecting RAID in the bios (I have the OS installed on a SATA RAID attached to the ICH9R, so RAID is the required selection and you don't seem to be able to select individually which channels are RAID and which non-RAID) makes the drives attached not hot-swappable. Is anyone actually running a P35 chipset with RAID and non-RAID drives that has been able to enable hot swap with the ICH9R controller? I have several drives in drive bays I would like to be able to swap, although it is not imperative. It was a no-brainer with an nForce4 chipset. All attached SATA drives were hot swappable, INCLUDING the OS drive(s). All the official Intel websites indicate that the drives should be hot-swappable, but I have yet to find anyone who says they have actually done in or found a tweak in the BIOS to allow hot-swapping. This question has gotten under my skin now, and I would like to find a definitive answer. I would be glad to hear from anyone who has one.

[H] Win2K Server OS?
I am rebuilding my win2KServer OS. I just rcvd the magic 25-digit key. I entered it and now I am at a screen asking about Licensing Modes. IIRC, the original server install was for 5 Clients and 25 concurrent connection. Should I change the [ 5 ] to [25]?? The window is default with ATM: Per Server. Number of concurrent connections [ 5 ] Each connection must have its own Client Access License (?CAL?) < > Per Seat. Each computer must have its own Client Access License (?CAL?) To avoid violation of the License Agreement, use Licensing (which is located in Administrative Tools) to record the number of Client Access Licenses purchased. Thanks much. Yes, I am digging in my W2K Server book also... Best, Duncan
[H] Beep codes
1 long + 2 short and no POST = dead video? Happening with my new Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H 780G mobo. Had been working just fine for a month or so using the onboard video. Tried putting in a PCIe video card but the only spare I have uses an aux power connector from the 4-pin molex and when I plug it in the system won't boot. Think the PSU (300W) is not beefy enough. Without the aux power the system boots but still gives the 1 long + 2 short beep and no POST. Brian

Re: [H] Vista install lacking boot files
I found a BIOS update for my mobo and applied i t, then reset the CMOS
on the PC. Now the problem is even worse - it hangs for several
minutes on a blank screen after the DMI update and then loads Vista.
Once it gets past that it works fine.
I've hit the boot drive with every HD utility I can think of and it
all check out just fine. But I might just replace it anyways and see
if that helps.

Re: [H] Vista install lacking boot files
If you have tried boot ini and MBR fixes then it would seem to me that there
is something in the BIOS knackered to not boot from the HD.

Okay this problem has returned. Vista crapped out on me after only a month
and I needed to do a fresh reinstall (kept rebooting everytime a DVD was
inserted or locking up every 15 min). So this time I pulled my RAID card
and only had my boot drive attachced when I installed. But on reboot it
stopped at the "loading DMI" part of the boot process again unless I put the
Vista install DVD in the drive. Then it would load Vista no prob.
I installed the EasyBCD proggie linked to this thread and tried just about
every option, including "write MBR" and "recreate missing/deleted boot
files".
This is the readout from EasyBCD:

Partition C is the correct drive to boot from. I think the problem is that
the bootloader itself is not being called after POST, which is why it's
hanging at the DMI screen. Again, I did a complete re-install so the
problem isn't a second hard drive.
Any suggestions? Honestly, I can't believe that Vista has this sort of
problem and I can't believe I haven't heard more people bitching about it.
While I have run into the XP "no boot device found" error due to having the
wrong driver or messed up boot.ini path, it was at least fixable with the
tools provided by Windows and was easy to avoid.
