Hello. A few days ago I installed a 250 gb SATA drive directly to my
motherboard, installed the driver and everything seemed fine. No
problems. But ever since then, the shared folders on the computer
intermittently become unavailable over the network, and I have to
reboot the computer after which it is fine. Once I had to turn the
machine off completely and unplug it.

I tried a google search and did not find a similar report. Anyone
understand this?

Thanks,
IMF

Is that just the folders on the sata drive or the folders on the other drive too
?
 
I have no shared folders on the SATA drive. They are the same folders
on the regular IDE drives I have been sharing all along. I looked on
the SOYO website, and there apparently are no new drivers for the SATA
Raid side or the network port, all still vintage 2003.

Thanks Rod,

Irwin

Looks like the driver may well be conflicting with the driver for the NIC.

See if they are sharing the same IRQ in the Device Manager.
 
Hello. They have different interrupts, one is 20, the other 21.
Different addresses and memory also. Still waiting for Soyo to write
back, but it is the holiday. Maxtor thought it could be a conflict, and
recommended updating drivers but there don't seem to be any updated
drivers. I may have to uninstall the drivers for the SATA/IDE3 or go
back to an image from before installing the drive. It happened again
yesterday and this morning, both fixed by rebooting ... at least
temporarily.

Do I have to manually uninstall the drive and uninstall the drivers?
Will disabling the device in device manager accomplish the same thing?

Pity, it would have been an easy fix.

Yeah, can be a problem. Bet they take chinese new year off too.

Yeah, certainly looks like it might be.

I'd certainly try that route. Its possible that the motherboard
is dying due to bad caps and the sata drive is a coincidence.
That would at least let you see if it still happens without the
sata drive involved at all. Could also be a bad power supply.

No, just unplug the sata drive. Its drivers wont be loaded at boot time.

Should do, but its safer to unplug the sata drive.
