Hello !
A friend of mine brought his Compaq 6820s laptop for some maintenance
and configuration work. More specifically, he wants to split the 250Gb
C: drive in smaller partitions.
The drive is an Hitachi Travelstat 5K250 - HTS542525K9SA00 S-ATA disk.
Any reason why this model is completly invisible to the stand alone
(bootable CD) version of softwares such as Paragon Partition Manager
Professional v9 or Acronis Disk Director v10 ?
BTW, the bootable CD of Acronis True Image - Home v11 can flawlessly
access and image the partitions on the drive.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks |

Quite a few laptops play silly buggers with the visibility of the hard
drive essentially to protect the recovery partition thats on the drive
as well as the main C drive thats used for the OS install.

If you have a legal copy of DD, see what Acronis has to say about that. |

Thanks for your reply,
I finally found something : I disabled "Native SATA mode" in the
"Device configurations" section of the BIOS and everything is now fine. >> Stay informed about: S-ATA drive not accessible to some stand-alone utilities.. |

Ah, that would mean it is now presented as ATA drive to the computer.
Should be fine as long as you do not want advanced features like
hot-plugging.

Nope, it means that the driver needed is now available from his bootcd.

Native and legacy mode are how the controller presents itself to the system.
