hmm ur hdd and cd drive is using SCSI cable instead of the normal sata?

 

[ThatGuy16]

Nope im using the "SATA" cables, its wierd... everything is working perfectly fine, it just buggs me....

Bios reads SATA, device manager shows it as "SCSI"

In your device Manager under your IDE/ATA controllers does it call them NVIDIA nforce Parallel ATA Controller and NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Sata controller

You cant use a SCSI cable on a Sata drive
Sata

SCSI

In your device Manager under your IDE/ATA controllers does it call them NVIDIA nforce Parallel ATA Controller and NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Sata controller

I got:

ATA Channel 0
ATA Channel 1
NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller
NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller
NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller
Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller

Whats the ones your DVD and harddrive is listed under

 

[ThatGuy16]

They are both listed under the highlighted one

Any ideas?

 

[StrangleHold]

Does it list them under that as running in Sata Generation 2 or 1

Double click on your Sata controllers, the ones in post 10, there are three of them your drives are listed under one. Depends on what Sata ports there pluged into, theres 2 per controller

K, i still don't see anything thats related to "generation" i cant find it? i looked under all the tabs but i dont see anything.. Sorry if im stubborn lol

The Sata controller that you have highlighted in post 10, double click on it or just right click in it and click properties

 

[ThatGuy16]

I got that, but i can't find it anywere in properties that shows the "generation"?

 

[StrangleHold]

Its doesnt list the drives on the Sata port under properties on each of the three sata controllers

 

[ThatGuy16]

Maybe this will help, pictures always seems to be the best help source

 

[StrangleHold]

Yes thats it, they should be showing Sata instead of DMA, hit the drop down list and see if it shows Sata. Mine just list, Sata Gereration 1 and 2 and PIO mode, doesnt even have a listing for DMA. Most IDE drives are listed as UDMA or DMA

 

[ThatGuy16]

I can only change it to "PIO" mode
