ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[secretworld]

Hello,
I've been having this problem for quite some time, but it only happens when I try to copy file to or from the drive it will work for a few minutes and then will tell me that the device has been disconnected and totally disappears from the explorer window. I don't hear and clicking sound and I used WD tools to check and it didnt give me any erros.

Has anyone had the same problem? I'm starting to think that is something to do with the my P5W Deluxe.

I'm running Vista 64, all drivers updated, 4gb, 8800GT

Windows log gave me this error The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR1, is not ready for access yet.

I had the same for a while back and it turned out to be a flaky sata connection. Reinserting the cable cured it. If that´s not it, if you are running in ahci mode try switching to IDE (enhanced) or try the latest intel ahci driver which seems to have cured some issues.
Hope this helps.

That one thing I didn't try yet, changing the cables, I have another one that I could try.

Thx for the help!
