Messerchmitt Bf 109 Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) Hello,I am using a XP home edition on my PC and i have this problem. The system (with drivers instaled) is able to see my SATA disks, but in Computer management / disk management i must "activate" this disks. I know from a bad experience that activation it is a death sentence for existed data!The OS is on a IDE disk, is perfect installed, no wrong drivers or else. There is a metod to make that hdd work without loosing to many data from my SATA's?TNX! Edited January 12, 2008 by Luft_waffe_ss
nitroshift Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 What happens when you populate the volumes?
Messerchmitt Bf 109 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) Adica? All the data is there from my old system! Now, control panel is unable to use them, but disk management ask me to make the sata disks active! Using this option i am loosing all the data from them (i have 2 in this situation).

Ponch Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Do you have RAID activated on your SATA controller ?Also there were tons of more intelligent choices for a member name.
Extravert Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Do you have RAID activated on your SATA controller ?Also there were tons of more intelligent choices for a member name. Got my words. The whole worldwar 2 evening is 63 years ahead. So why using such a stupid nick?My word: The German border is in Google earth 12,3 miles from my home and I've had never issueswith Germans.I don't like it at all and maybe these are my words, but I should say this.
Messerchmitt Bf 109 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 Yes....When i have a problem, i find a lot of people, not so smart to help me, but so pride to think that they are so smart to can judge my nick name. I it is just a nick name! Dot! It's not a natzy nick.. it is a military one. If you are a son of Israel, be happy, becouse i am happy 4 you, you are so inspired with you cartoon nickname. So mature!Remember:History is important, help us not to do same mistakes!
nitroshift Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I believe you should read the forum rules. That's regarding your username. As for your issue, we'd like to know (as Ponch suggested) if those hard-disks were set up in some kind of RAID array before. The more info you provide us with, the more we can help you.
Messerchmitt Bf 109 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) No, no RAID setting is enable! Not in bios,but, if there is a setting in XP, i don't know were to find it!When i am opening disk management, i can see the hdd's, but is foreign. To use them, i must "convert to basic" them! But the next step is a window who inform me that convert to basic is a permanet lose of data option. And so it is, i try it some time ago! I can move a IDE hdd how many time i whant, from a PC to other,what is this s*** with SATA? Why is not the same. It locks like a step back!I will read the forum rulers, but i can bet that if my nick it was US NAVY, RAF or ISRAEL AIR FORCE nobody jump around! (Later edit: i read the rules, nothing from m.p.o.v. so I asked the administrator! ),, The real danger is not evil, is the stupidity and ignorance of good people." ConfuciusP.S. Please, do not give me the "install VISTA" solution! I need some soft that is not working in Vista! Edited January 12, 2008 by Luft_waffe_ss

jbm Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) It sound like you have some dynamic disks.

Extravert Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Much better and I won't threat you, but Luftwaffe gaves some nigative image for some. That is not your fault, because you use the name you like, but for other people, do you understand?
