Windows 7 Error Event 11

[dockmaster]

The Driver detected a controller error on:
\device\ide\ide port 0

It seems this event causes the desktop of what ever I'm doing to freeze for a while.

From the specs below, take out one stick of RAM for 3gb
Take out the 80gb ide hard drive
THe 500gb SATA drive is partitioned into approx 2 250 drives, C and D and connect to SATA 1 slot.
I have the jumper in the slots on the HD to make it transfer at 150mb sec vice 300
C is Win XP service Pack 3
D is Win 7
Both are clean installs on a formatted drive
Other then Firefox and ESAT anti virus, nothing else is on either drive.

When I booted up into Win 7this morning it said got the device drivers for the the 500BG WD drive automatically.

whats funny is that right now, I'm on the XP partition and every thing is fine, so I guess the problem is on the WIn7 side with the harddrive.

Some have mentioned loading raid drivers etc........ Cant I just run a single hard drive and my dvd player?
I installed XP from service pack 2 and hit f-6 and it installed something.......

I'm gonna order a new updated system probably today (mb. ram.cpu and ps), but I'm courious why this wont work on the win 7 side of the hd

Thanks

enjoy the day!!

It seems like you're experiencing some issues with your Windows 7 installation on the SATA drive. Let's break down your setup and see if we can identify the potential causes of the problem: 1. Controller Error on \device\ide\ide port 0: - This error typically indicates a problem with the IDE controller. Since your primary drives are SATA drives, this error might not directly relate to them. - However, it's worth checking for any IDE devices connected to your system and ensuring they are functioning properly. 2. Specs and Configuration: - Your system specs are listed, and you have specified the current setup with Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 installed on separate partitions. - RAM: You mentioned removing one stick of RAM to achieve 3GB of RAM. This is a good troubleshooting step to rule out potential RAM issues. - Hard Drives: Removing the 80GB IDE hard drive and working solely with the 500GB SATA drive can help isolate issues. - SATA Configuration: Ensure that the 500GB SATA drive is correctly connected to SATA Port 1 and configured for optimal performance. 3. Driver Installation: - When Windows 7 booted, it detected drivers for the 500GB WD drive automatically. This is normal behavior, but it's essential to confirm that the drivers are up to date. - Driver issues can cause instability, so updating or reinstalling the SATA controller drivers might help resolve any related problems. 4. Single Drive Configuration: - You can run a system with a single hard drive and a DVD drive without needing RAID drivers. - If you're not using RAID, there is no requirement for additional RAID drivers. Running a single hard drive and DVD player should work without any RAID configuration. 5. Windows 7 Troubleshooting: - Since the issue seems to be specifically affecting the Windows 7 side of the hard drive, focusing on that OS for troubleshooting is recommended. - Check for any specific error messages or logs on the Windows 7 side that might provide more insight into the problem. 6. Upgrading Hardware: - Ordering new components is a good idea for an updated system. This step can resolve many compatibility issues and generally improve system performance. In conclusion, focus on verifying the drivers, checking hardware connections, and prioritizing troubleshooting on the Windows 7 side to resolve the issues you're facing. If you proceed with ordering new components, ensure they are compatible with your system for a smooth upgrade process. Enjoy your day, BillD!
