Hello My name is Aldin and i have ASUS P4P800 motherboard with bios installed 1019.
Yesterday i bought two HDD SATA 2 fromWesterndigital WD2500JS.
On my motherboard now i have two hdd 2x120 GB sata 1 working as raid 0.Windows xp pro installed on that configuration working perfectly.But i wanted to exemine these discs with new one,becouse i need more space on my computer.I installed these discs (wd2500JS),as same way when i was installed last discs.Motherboard was recognized discs as 250 Gb wd2500js regulary,and i set them to work in RAID0.When i try to format these discs (installing windows xp pro sp1,F6 set intel ICH5r driver from floppy latest version) format freeze on 35 %.I tryed format several time but nothing.Later i try to format disks one by one with no raid.First disks freeze on 16%,and second on 25%.Later i tryed same way with old discs (2x120 gb maxtor SATA1 6y120mo 1,5gb/s and i dont have any problems with them.Next i tryed formating with two hdd 2x80 gb wd800jb,and i don t have any problem with them also.
New disks which i bought WD2500JS i try to format on second computer which has SATA 2.0 controler integrated on motherboard (A8N-SLI Premium),and format pass very well with no any errors.
On Western-digital site i read that these discs wd2500js is tested with Asus motherboard P4C800,witch have ICH5r controler integrated also as my motherboard P4P800.Latest Intel raid rom version for P4P800 is 3.5.3.0003 ,but for Asus P4C800 is 3.5.4.I don know maybe is problem in different version of Intel Raid Rom between these motherboard.
.
I think problem is in incompactibility between SATA II and SATA I standard.I think that sata 2 discs is not recognized very well on SATA 1 controller (Intel ICH5R with Intel Raid rom 3.5.3.0003),so my motherboard (ICH5R controler ) format my drives with errors.
Now i m trying to buy SATA 2 PCI controler,and try to test disc again,but SATA 2 pci controler is not answer, because of PCI bridge limit and lowering performance.
I sent these new disc to computer resaller,but they returnet from them with no errors.
If anybody have sollution for my problem i will be very happy.I don t now what else to do.
Thanks
P.S
Sorry on my English.
