Wesmosis Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 (edited) Oh dear!but when I read the artice , if gave some comfort, since It relate this error to the type of Cable,I was thinking it could be from the IDE Cable becoz it's a large HDDI'm using an ordinary 40wire-40 pins cable, so is it possible if I use the 80 wire - 40 pins IDE cable (That rigid one right?) my hdd will stop acting strange?!is this 80 wire - 40 pins cable? also I need wha's the best software for checking HDD for errors and bad sectoers + Fixing them? I tried Error-Checking when I right-click on my HDD, but it stopped somewhere and appearing the dreaded (Delayed Write Failed...etc)!I found this useful artice Called:Do I HAVE to use an 80 wire IDE cable for my hard drive?http://www.neoseeker.com/Hardware/faqs/kb/15,28.html Edited July 28, 2005 by Wesmosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 You don't have to use one for the hard drive, but it is certainly better to do so. The 40 wire cables tend to get interference between the wires, while the 80 wire cables don't (there's a ground wire between each signal). Put an 80-wire cable in there and see if that helps things. You should also check what mode your hard drive is working in. Go to Device Manager and expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. Double click on Primary IDE channel and Secondary IDE channel. Under Advanced Settings, the Transfer mode should be set to DMA if available. Check what the Current Transfer Mode is as well (it should be Ultra DMA mode with that hard drive).
