| Well here's an interesting problem that I just solved. I mentioned this in one of the article threads the other day briefly, but wanted to record my solution for posterity. [emote|:)] I have an SE440BX-2 motherboard, 850Mhz PIII, 768 Megs of RAM, WD 30Gig 7200rpm drive that I use for experimenting. I tried to install WinXP to it over the weekend. Booted from CD, created 6 Gig C:\ partition, and installed to it. Install worked fine. Then after booting up, I installed DotNet framework and while that was finishing up went into Computer Management and partitioned the remaining 20+ gigs as a second partition and started formatting that as NTFS. A minute later... blue screen, Stop 0x0000007A aka KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR. Secondary status code was 0xC000000E, which indicates STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE. A warm reboot resulted in a No Boot Partition error. Essentially the drive disconnected itself from the IDE channel. But it was still on and spinning. I could cold boot and it would boot up, but once I started formatting the second partition it'd blue screen again. Tried a variety of things. Reinstalled Win2k to the box, no problems. Went into DOS With the Western Digital diagnostics, no problems... wrote null bytes ot the entire drive, reinstalled XP... blue screen upon formatting second partition. Took drive out of machine, placed as second drive in other XP machine(D815EPEA2U w/1.2Ghz PIII) and formatted drive... no problems. I came up with a theory. The SE440BX-2 motherboard supports Ultra DMA-33, but not ATA66/100. The WD 30Gig drive I was using supported ATA66/100. I wondered if perhaps XP was not negotiating this right and was trying to do ATA66/100 commands across the IDE channel and the result was the drive essentially throwing an exception. I happened to have an SIIG ATA-66 PCI card in my junk drawer. I installed that, hooked the drive up to it, and reinstalled XP with the SIIG drivers. Went in, partitioned and started formatting. No problems. Installed SP1, no problems. It appears to now be stable. Anyway, it appears to be some sort of odd compatibility problem between the motherboard, the drive and the XP drivers that has changed from Win2k. I'm going to send this in as a Microsoft support request off their website and see what kind of feedback I get. |

| If you format and get any problems it's HARDWARE. Like you said, you fixed the issue by changing the hardware. So... -the hardware is bad, and simply winxp uses it differently than win2k -the drivers are bad -the hardware is incompatible. what happens if you install win2k then upgrade to xp? If no problems then it used the win2k driver, so it's a driver issue. I would say a bios update might help. Check the HCL. But microsoft will just tell you it's hardware, unless you have higher support and they'll debug the computer. -gosh |
