// De_Cruelz : i found this on DFI street : QUOTE(Angry Games @ DFI-street) Western Digital parallel-ATA hard drives obey a somewhat different set of jumpering rules.
* If the drive is jumpered to be MASTER, the system will expect to find its slave and will keep looking until it does, or the IDE detection phase of POST times out.
* If the drive is jumpered to be SLAVE, the system will expect to find its master and will keep looking until it does, or the IDE detection phase of POST times out.
A master or slave setting without the counterpart being present usually appears as the system hanging or freezing. On detection timeout, the system usually tries to continue booting, often with the boot drive not being found either. Attempted warm reboots sometimes allow the system to boot, but with some risk of subsequent data corruption.
When the jumper is removed, the drive is set to run in single (stand-alone) mode. CS (cable select mode) generally works the same as single mode in this case.
CS mode often works with other IDE/ATAPI devices but in general, it is better to use CS mode only with another hard drive. With an optical on the cable with it, use master/slave settings. hope this info helps you Evogenix This post has been edited by Evogenix: May 14 2005, 06:31 PM |

Thanks for that Evo! I'm using SATA drives though so I guess that doesn't apply to me  I flashed to the latest 510 BIOS and still the same problem. It's weird though as the HDD is detected upon bootup and it shows in the NV HDD. For some reason it's not booting the HDD. |

Vcore is normal coz HTT is not related to Vcore
LDT got related with HTT ? i tot is only for PCI-E
VDD is max 1.8V, with 1.5Vdd also can do 420HTT
will try the 510-3 BIOS later to see got any different or not ..
BTW, the NB is using Stock cooling only ..

Hmmm, I found out what was my problem. It wasn't any of my HDD after all. It was my corrupted OS that stopped me from booting into WinXP. I think it got corrupted as I was shooting for 260 X 11 with my BH6. Did a quick Win Repair and it booted it again fine. The TMSP could do that no problems but now 1 stick is dead  This post has been edited by De_Cruelz: May 14 2005, 07:13 PM |

Evo, what exactly did you do to revive your TMSP? I tried mine again once and managed to boot in with just the problematic stick. After that it wouldn't boot already and I got lazy so decided to put it back in the cover. Hopefully I can make the RAM work again. I'm already short of so much money and a dead stick now is gonna set me back more |
