SATA HDD
Is it ok to run a couple of 500GB SATA2 hard drives on SATA1 controllers?
I have had 2 blue screens on this machine and thought it maybe the HDD, the memory checks out fine NMI: Parity check/memory parity error The system has halted Or could it be the montherboard DELL Dimension 8400 925X Chipset Thanks

SATA HDD
Could be the motherboard, or the memory, or a bad expansion card. Probably
not the hard drives but you can't rule that out either since an NMI Parity Check error is a hardware halt (not a Windows error) caused by bad data on the system or memory bus.

I don't see why not. The drives should be compatible with the original SATA
standard. "Clayton" wrote in message ... thanks So is it ok to run a couple of 500GB SATA2 hard drives on SATA1 controllers? "Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User]" wrote in message ...

SATA HDD
I have 2 SATA drives configured in RAID 0 BIOS recognizes drives but Vista 64
bit will not. I have a Gigabyte K8U-939MB. I searched all sites and even purchased driver detective (what a waste of money) Anybody out there that can point me to a driver, I searched, Gigabyte, ALi and Uli sites but can not find a Vista driver anywhere. I can not believe Vista have such difficulty with SATA drives Thanks all Henry "Clayton" wrote: Is it ok to run a couple of 500GB SATA2 hard drives on SATA1 controllers?

Memtest86 and the built in memory diagnostics in windows, I should really
test each module over night and then test them both at once, it gave me the BSOD once before with different memory in the system "David B." wrote in message ...

Hi, some Sata2 drives require a jumper before using on sata1. Check with the
manufacturer... ChrisC "FRUSTRATEDAND****ED" wrote in message ... I have 2 SATA drives configured in RAID 0 BIOS recognizes drives but Vista 64 bit will not. I have a Gigabyte K8U-939MB.
