Error with ATA channel and WD Red Installation

[DPOverLord]

Hey guys, installed my 3rd WD Red Hard Drive and it has a weird symbol after formatting. Any idea if I should be worried?


Also if you look at Device Manger it is not installing something correctly in the ATA channel

You need to find the cause of the issue.
Might be corrupted drivers, or worse.

happened after I installed the new hard drive

 

[VirtualLarry]

you need to install drivers for all of the disk controllers on your board.

 

[DPOverLord]

but why do the others work I had this done before

I found that the icon was a POWERISO icon and I mounted a drive then unmounted set drives to 1 and the icon changed. The only issue now is that I have 3 ATA Channel 0 & 1 I wonder if its just an anomaly.

Are you plugging it into one of the JMicron ports? If so, is there any reason it is not configured AHCI? FI, I just have 2 AHCI controllers listed, one being my JMicron chip.

Or, you could make sure to plug it into one of the main Intel ports.

A possibility for the channels, if the JMicron is set to allow legacy support:
Channel 0A: Intel AHCI
Channel 0B: JMicron PATA
Channel 0C: JMicron SATA

Mine (6 from ICH, 2 from JMicron, PATA effectively disabled):

no its plugged into the main intel port

Do you perhaps have Power ISO running and configured to use that drive letter as a virtual CD drive?

 

[DPOverLord]

The icon problem went away but I still have the ATA Channel 0 and 1 error

Have you enabled AHCI for all ATA controllers, yet?

 

[DPOverLord]

Yeah its enabled alright...

 

[Cerb]

Yeah its enabled alright...

So, what does your IDE ATA/ATAPI controller list look like, now that it is enabled?

IoW, you either need to get drivers, so that you can use the PATA ports, too, or turn AHCI on for all your disk controllers, so that Windows can use MSAHCI, instead.

I did a fresh install and everything is set to AHCI mode not sure what is causing this.
