i have 2 hard disks on my motherboard which has 4 ports for hard disks. my pc is freezing for sometime ie it works normally but sometimes it starts to freeze. in event viewer im getting this. atapi - eventid - 15 The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort1, is not ready for access yet. then disk - eventid - 11 The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\D. can anyone help please i posted it before but got no answers.so please..
The first error seems to be with your CD/DVD Burner,try updating the firmware for a start. The second controller error-update your mobo drivers. Also run a health check on the drives in case they may be starting to fail
updating firmware means updating bios is that right? The second controller error-update your mobo drivers. can you tell me how to update mobo drivers? i ran chkdsk which found no errors and i ran seatools test from seagate in which both hard disk passed SMART test but it showed old one failed in long test. can u recommend me some good testing tools? i also get some error in event viewer like this event id - 7 The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block. but both hard disk work perfect all the time and suddenly old drive seems inaccesseble. when i restart pc everything works normal again.
Hey sach1000rt, i would strongly reccomend backing up all the data on your first hard drive ASAP! i had those type of errors just before the hard drive in my 6 year old computer went. what motherboard make and model do you have? i should be able to help you locate the drivers for it with that information.
i wouldnt reccomend updating the bios but update the drivers. thank you for help. but the problem is i have visited that page but they dont have the controller drivers all they have are related ATI Radeon* Xpress 200 card drivers which are not usefull to me as i have another card(nvidea)which i use. do you know how to update controller drivers? or do they embedd these drivers with some other driver installation files like realtek audio driver?
Hello sach1000rt, download 5.Chipset: ATI Radeon* Xpress 200 look here look under Universal Connectivity as you can see the chipset also provides the raid and sata controller.
