Ultimate solution for most of incompatible SATA drives

[provolino]

I decided to write this topic to help all users with "SATA drives" and "No compatibility drive" message

Just install this pack:

Intel Chipset - XP & Vista & 7

http://downloadmirror.intel.com/17882/a08/IATA89CD.exe

AMD Chipset - XP

http://files.3dnews.org/pub/drivers/ati ... 4_raid.exe

AMD Chipset - Vista & 7

http://files.3dnews.org/pub/drivers/ati ... 4_raid.exe

After one or two system resets (depending on Windows version), CDBurnerXP should be able to detect and use your burner properly :)

I tested it with several notebooks (mainly HP Pavilions) and the trick works like a charm

Hope to be useful,

P.

Flo, please make this thread sticky

What was said up there should work for most Intel based systems, for AMD ones you should download the corresponding driver from the AMD site, or in case you are using a notebook like i am, HP Pavillion, and my notebook is AMD processor, chipset and graphic card you should get the corresponding driver for you in the Driver Download page of HP. It should be some kind of RAID Controller Driver. Well this link has some info for this but when i tried to download the driver for the AMD systems i found it to difficult to find the correct driver through that page.

Link follows: http://cdburnerxp.se/help/appendices/troubleshooting

Hope this helps most people out there that are having some kind of "No Compatible Drive" error/message...

First post updated, added AMD drivers

[Guest Fritz7]

Just install this pack:

Intel Chipset

http://downloadmirror.intel.com/17412/a08/IATA88CD.exe

Now this really worked like an easy charme for me. Thanks very much!

I suggest to change the link for "Intel Matrix Storage Manager" on the troubleshooting page. The Link now leads to the file iata87cd.exe (scrolling down) which did not work here.

From where would you come to the other download? I obviously need some kind of entry page.

[provolino]

Flo, main page for Intel is http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product ... uctID=2101 (Just select O/S)

Main page for AMD is http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx (click on Motherboard link and select O/S)

P.S.

I tested AMD drivers too and they worked

[floele]

Thanks.

[Guest Manfet]

Big thanks for that post. It did work really good. But be aware that there is another Version for x64 systems and Intel warns you not to install the x86 Version on a x64 system. I'm not really sure that there is a difference but there was the warning in the installation file so I thought I should warn you.

Thanks again (sticky?)

As far as I know Intel driver is the same for both 32 and 64 bit os windows.

I checked setup file and it's the same as well

[Guest Fritz7]

Sadly, but I uninstalled Matrix Storage Manager finally. Although it made my drive being found by CDBurnerXP, my hp Pavilion needed at least 5 minutes for booting to log in screen with it. The chipset PM45 with ICH9 M/M-E SATA/AHCI Controller is not compatible with Matrix... it's not listed at Intel's instructions.

Will I have to disable AHCI then?

[Guest Fritz7]

I worked through KB:929461 which doesn't change anything. So will I not be able to use CDBurnerXP and having normal boot speeds?

[veritas]

I have exactly the same problem as Fritz7. After installing the Intel Matrix Storage Manager on my system (HP Pavilion dv7 with Vista Home Premium 64), it takes about 5 minutes to boot the system. After removing the Storage Manager the system boots within 1 minute.

Has anybody a solution for this problem? I've already sent an email to the Intel support, but they didn't answer yet.

Update: Intel suggested a BIOS update. But unfortunately this didn't work.

[Guest Fritz7]

On the hp site for drivers (where you can choose your machine and system and a list of drivers appears) there's a flash update for BIOS to Version F.2A at the time. No changes for me as well. Has not a single person found the solution to that?

[provolino]

Intel and ATI drivers updated

I modified the first post to provide new links

[andypacer]

I downloaded the Intel package and it worked.

I have an HP HDX 18

windows 7 32-bit

Blueray (HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW CT10L)

Thank-you. I've been having a hell a time with this drive since going to win 7

[Guest Ross]

This worked for me. Many thanks.

[Guest MasterEvilAce]

Not working for me with

http://www.cdburnerxp.se/en/testeddrive ... h=CH08LS10

on an AMD board...

[Guest MasterEvilAce]

Yeah, I couldn't get it to work. Installed all the drivers I could think of... other applications detect the drive (ImgBurn).. no problems in device manager...

Running Windows 7 32bit. I'm out of ideas, and out of time. Had to ship the computer out..

Hopefully a newer version of cdburnerxp will fix it someday.

[Hawkwind]

Running Win7 32bit with a Hitachi HTS545050B9A300 on an ACER Aspire 3810TG, but this solution doesn't work. Any ideas???

[Guest Jacques Hotel]

Just le me see if I have this right: I'm getting an error message when I try to burn. The msg says the is no compatible disc inserted even thought there is. I have a I have an Optiarc DCD-RW AD-7240S with Athlon chipset . If I install the AMD driver from the first post, that should work?
