ubcd / wdc lifeguard
Posted: Thu Dec 16, 2010 8:17 am
first off, love the cd, it helps tons!
question / problem
was using ubcd to test a new western digital hd that seemingly has died (s.m.a.r.t. marks it bad)
the problem is that the WD DLG Diagnostic 5.04f does not seem to recognize the disk.
i figured it might have been some random driver issue since its on a newer GA-P55A-UD3 LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s motherboard.
with the drive connected to the sata3 connection (Marvell SE9128 chip)
or with the drive connected to the onboard P55 (windows identifies ide/ata/ahci as series 5/3400 series)
ironically, other programs on ubcd, like SMARTUDM, work...
so i downloaded the WD DLG ISO from WD, burned it, and tested it.
same issue
pulled the drive and put it in our old tower (82801G (ICH7), i975x chipset) and it works for both the WD DLG cdr & ubcd
so, the question is, is there a way to add support to ubcd so that WD DLG will see sata drives on newer i3/i5/i7 mobos?
Thanks,
PS: i did try the drive on both the marvell & onboard sata controllers
i did set the bios to both IDE & AHCI to see if it was a legacy/emulation issue
