SATA. This Device Cannot Start. (Code 10).

[ClickCardo]

I have an ASUS A8V Deluxe motherboard. There is a 250GB Maxtor SATA drive on the VIA controller and
2x250GB Maxtor SATAs on the Promise controller in IDE mode. I set this up a couple months ago when
I installed Win XP Pro SP2. All 3 drives had been working fine until today. Now when the PC boots
it says FastTrak378 ........, then Scanning IDE Drives, then Array Not Defined (the 2 drives do not
show as before). I do not recall exactly what the messages in the post were before, but I know it
listed the 2 Maxtors before. When I get into Windows and go into Device Manager under SCSI and RAID
Controllers it shows WinXP Promise SATA378 IDE Controller with a yellow exclamation icon on it.
When I get into Properties it shows: This Device Cannot Start. (Code 10).

Can anybody tell me what is wrong and what I should try?

Until someone else comes around, try googling for your error code.

You could try setting PNP OS installed to NO in your bios, if its not already.

Heres what i got from google, ignore the first 2 listings.
'PnP OS installed' resetting to 'No'.

Also, from m\soft:

Good luck to you.

garebo.

thanks for the advice. I had already looked at that and it wasn't the driver. My bios had gotten reset which switched the controller to raid mode. I switched the bios back to ide and everything came back ok.

thanks
