ASUS A7N8X SATA data corruption - Silicon Image 3112 - Serial ATA- BSOD
Hardwa ASUS A7N8X Motherboard (1004 Bios), Seagate 80GB SATA Hard
Drive, high quality ram, case, ps. OS: Windows XP Pro (1.0.0.22 SiI3112A SATA drivers) Problem: Hard drive data corruption (NTFS boot drive). Symptoms: Windows XP Pro reboots during bootup sequence. Drive will cause any computer that attempts to read from partition to crash. Recovery Console BSOD with a STOP 0x00000024. My Theory: Bad SATA drivers or bad SATA controller (SiI3112A). Solution: Swap motherboard and SATA drive with IDE drive. The motherboard (except for SATA drivers) might have been fine, but ASUS does not provide enough information to determine this. Notes: Corrupt (primary) partition was lost. Seagate's bootable utility cd exits to a DOS prompt after loading SATA drivers, so you can delete the bad partition using fdisk. Do not try to get partition information of bad parition using fdisk (http://www.23cc.com/free-fdisk/). After bad partition was deleted, drive was recognized and accessible as a second disk. NTFSDOS can be used to access an NTFS partition from DOS (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/fr.../NTFSDOS.shtml). Conclusion: This is the first problem I have had with ASUS, and I might buy another motherboard from them. I would never purchase another product that includes hardware or software from Silicon Image. |
