Asrock K7vt4a Pro - No Sata Device Recognized
« on: August 14, 2006, 01:05:00 PM »

The Problem ist that I can't set the SATA Controller to Native/IDE. I can only en/disable the SATA RAID in the BIOS. So Devices can only be used, when the RAID is enabled.

Where can I set the SATA to Native IDE?

Hey there, i actually flashed my samsung drive over the weekend with the K7vt4a Pro board and was having a few problems to start off with. Heres the process that worked for me:

Start PC from either DOS bootdisk or boot enabled flashdrive WITHOUT X360 drive connected
Once booted plug in SATA cable to X360 drive and power on xbox with AV cable connected
Run MTKFLASH r/sata backup.bin (use mtkflash 183c - not mtkvia) to create a backup of the firmware, this should recognize the drive, you dont need the SATA bios to recognize the drive.

If this doesnt work mit might also be useful to disable your IDE channels in the BIOS.


Hope this helps

My problem is that i need it in Windows cause now I got a Hitachi here. So u think I should disable the RAID SATA BIOS and the IDE Controllers and just plug in the Drive in Windows?

Well thats an Idea. Can someone else agree to that?

Ok I just tried to plug my Hitachi Drive via Connectivity Kit and let it recognize in Windows with this Mainboard and with SATA RAID BIOS disabled. without success. any other sata devices such as hard disks could be seen. but not my Hitachi Drive.

The other Idea with the disabled IDE Controller i cannot try, cause then my windows hdd should be sata, and when sata raid bios is disabled, it can't boot from it. it can only boot from a sata hdd when this sata raid is enabled.  Never ever ASROCK. For me there is only ASUS and MSI from now on.
