No IDE at all showing. (P5Q PRO TUBRO)
Hi all,
I am putting together a new rig based on P5Q PRO TUBRO GREEN motherboard. I have installed a IDE optical drive. When I boot to the bios and go into the "Boot" menu CD device is recognized. But when I go into the "Main" menu it shows and identifies the single SATA hard drive but does not show any IDE at all. The only thing it shows are the SATA drives number one with the hard drive and 2, 3, 4 and 5 as disabled. No IDE at all! According to the pictures in the users guide he gives the following menu; Primary IDE Master Primary IDE Slave SATA 1 SATA 2 SATA 3 SATA 4 SATA_E1 When I put the Windows XP disk in and start the computer it will identify the optical drive and instruct "press any key to continue" and when I do I am instructed to install a proper medium or something like that. I also put Western Digital's "Data Lifeguard Tools" and it is recognized but essentially it says that there are no drivers for the CD optical drive. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Albert Albert |

At a guess, you may need to install drivers for the JMicron JMB361
controller. It's a third-party controller; the P45 chipset has no built-in IDE controller. "Albert" wrote in message ...

Snipped Bob, you are guess is probably much better than mine. I have just posted this question to Asus's tech support but they won't be open for business until Monday morning. I'll be 75 in December (speaking positively) so instead of growing up with this new technology I guess I'm growing old with it :-), so if my questions seem childish I guess maybe I'm going through my second or third childhood. I will only ask the question because I honestly don't know. Having said that, if I updated the bios would that update the drivers for the motherboard's P45 chipset? It would probably be best if I let Asus figure out the problem. I thank you anyway, Albert |

Thank you, Albert Albert If you want to see an IDE drive on the main bios setup page, connect a hard drive to the IDE connector. If you are able to boot from an IDE optical drive, that's all that matters. |

Thank you, Albert Albert The BIOS separates the hardware devices into individual modules. ICH10R JMB361 | | | | | \ | | PATA (IDE ribbon) \ ESATA | SIL5723 on +-- Slave | | back | +-- Master |-- 7 SATA ports -- For example, the Southbridge ports are displayed in the main BIOS screen for storage devices. The SIL5723, being a stealth device, looks like a single drive on the sixth port, so the inner workings of the SIL5723 may not be shown in the main storage screen. The SIL5723 is controlled by a single BIOS setting for "Drive Xpert Mode", which is how you change the operating mode of the E1 and E2 SATA ports. If a pair of RAID drives are connected to the SIL5723, they'd show as a single "generic" device on the sixth port of the ICH10R Southbridge. The JMicron JMB361, is "outside" the Southbridge. A separate code module is provided to run it. For example, I can extract that module from the BIOS, and the identity string shows "v1.06.79 JMicron Technology Corp" for the add-in module. If you were to pick up a PCI storage card, like a Promise controller or a RAID controller, they have a BIOS flash chip on board. During POST, the BIOS loads any add-on BIOS code found in chips like that. In the case of the JMB361, that code is inside the moitherboard BIOS flash chip. The BIOS flash chip is like a miniature file system, and has a whole bunch of modules in it. Support for the JMicron is just one of those code modules. What should happen, is the "v1.06.79 JMicron Technology Corp" should be loaded, and an Extended INT 0x13 routine is part of that. INT 0x13 is code that tells the main BIOS, how it can read sectors off devices on the JMicron controller. Such a code module has to load, for a device to be bootable. The JMicron controller has a SATA port (connected as ESATA on the back of the computer) and a PATA (ribbon cable IDE) port. The code should be able to access either of those. If I look in that add-on code module, I can see text strings such as "Press control-J to enter RAID BIOS". That is part of the visible interface of the add-on code module. (The code module for the Intel Southbridge, uses control-I for the same purpose, as long as the Southbridge is set to RAID mode.) The add-on code can make itself visible at two points. During the discovery phase of the POST, the JMicron code can print on the screen, what devices it has found, whether they be a separate storage device or a RAID array or whatever. In total, you might see a half dozen lines of text, printed by that module. If the control-J thing actually worked, pressing that key sequence in the BIOS, should cause a separate setup screen for JMicron RAID. That displays connected devices. But it would not normally be displayed, because it is triggered by a keypress sequence. I don't see it documented in the manual, and I'm just going by the text string I see in the code module. This function may be triggered by the type of JMicron chip present, and perhaps finding a JMB361 instead of a JMB363, prevents it from being usable. ******* So based on a cursory check, I don't see anything wrong with the board. There are ingredients in place to make it work. Some BIOS have an "INT Capture" option in the BIOS, and if that is disabled, that can cause a device like the JMicron to be ignored. I don't see that option in the BIOS, so the JMicron code should be loaded. I'd be checking jumpers on the optical drive. I would jumper the optical drive as Master and place it on the end connector of the provided ribbon cable. My preference is for 80 wire cables for IDE ports, and if one of those is present, at least an IDE hard drive can use faster UDMA modes. For the optical drive, it probably doesn't make that much difference. If you're bored, try pressing ctrlJ while in the BIOS, and see if the JMicron setup screen appears. You don't need to do anything in there -- you can immediately exit that screen if you wish. The purpose of testing, is to make sure the JMicron code is loadable. If the setup works, that would be further proof that support for the chip is present and working. Summary: 1) Check jumpering and IDE cable, use end connector for single drive. 2) Press control-J when the BIOS starts up and see what happens. 3) Look for messages, like the half dozen lines of text, from the JMicron, during the BIOS POST sequence. That may also be proof the code module is looking for drives present. HTH, Paul |

If you are able to boot from an IDE optical drive, that's all that matters. Andy, When I put In Data Lifeguard Tools CD in the DVD/CD drive it opens but it tells me that the DVD/CD drive does not have the proper drivers. So it is being "seen"in the boot sequence although it's listed as a removable drive. As far as adding an IDE hard drive reconfiguration of the chassis is such that the hard drive bay is too far away and at 90° to connect the ribbon. There is only one ID connection on the motherboard. One other thing, I only have one monitor and one keyboard so consequently I have to unhook the computer I'm on now and hook up the new rig when I need to try the new rig. (Big hassle) Why is it that they say retired people are on "a fixed income" and I'm always broke :-)? I am kicking back for the rest of the weekend and get back after it Monday morning.
