HDD in pio mode

Hello!

I have a poweredge 650 (P4, 2,4 Ghz, 1 GB RAM) with two Samsung SP0822N Hdds inside. Windows 2003 Server installed. Both harddisks are running in pio mode! Changeing the values in the hardware dialogs does not work. If I set DMA mode, it rests in pio mode.

I also tried already to change the values in the registry (MasterIdDataCheckSum removed) and rebooted. Both harddisks are still in pio mode.

Do you have any hints ?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
     
    You should install the  Silicon Image SiI 0680 ATA/133  Controler driver for W2K3, but the instructions for the installation are nor correct, you should read :
     
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    3) Updating SiI 680 driver on Windows Server 2003 from existing Silicon Image driver
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1. Right click on 'My Computer' and select 'Properties'. Under the 'System Properties'
      section, click on 'Hardware' tab, and then on 'Device Manager'
      click  'IDE/ATAPI Controllers' 'SCSI and RAID Controller'   and right click 'Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller' ' Silicon Image SiI 0680 ATA/133 Controller' .
    2. Click 'Driver' ,'Update Driver'  and select 'Search for a suitable driver for my
      device[Recommended]'. Insert the driver diskette into floppy drive.
      Click 'Next' and complete the driver installation.
    3. System will go through the enumeration process and install the driver.
      At the end of the process, click 'Yes' to reboot your system when necessary. 
     
    For me it solves the problem, good luck.

    Hi!

    Thanks. After installing the SIL 680 Drivers from the Dell Support Page everything is fine now!

    Thanks again!
