TDS5054B SSD Swap-in Fail

(1/5) > >>

daveyk:
I used a Clear Sky boot CD to create an image of the internal hardrive.  Clear Sky is a Windows XP boot environment on a CD and it has Norton 11.  I use this to backup and restore numerous systems.

So today, I un-hooked the internal IDE hard drive and hooked up a Samsung 500 GB SSD to one of the SATA ports (the one I could reach without a total tear-apart).   Anyway, I used Norton 11 to restore the SSD with the image I recorded.  It went well, but now when the SSD boots, it gets to the Windows 2000 BLUE Screen of death. It is stating "inaccessible boot device" after seeing Windows to start to boot.  I have attached a picture of the screen. 

I have not run across this restoring a system before.  Most of the systems I restored in industrial environments are Windows 98SE (!!!) and Windows XP.

Thoughts ???

Thanks kindly

Dave

Somewhat random guess, does the BIOS/motherboard support configuring the SATA ports for AHCI mode, and are the SATA ports currently configured for AHCI mode? If so, does changing the SATA port mode to IDE mode help?

wraper:
You cannot run windows XP and earlier from SATA port without SATA driver. If possible, set SATA port to IDE emulation mode in BIOS, boot into windows, install sata driver, Then change port to AHCI mode.

Thank you. Also, I don’t think Windows 2000 can support a partition over 256mb. I’ve  ordered a 120gb SSD (PNY $22) from Amazon. I should have it before Saturday.  I’ll have to look through the bios. I really don’t think there is support other than regular IDE.

On my dell M6600 laptops, I know you can set the Hard Drive to IDE or HCHI (???) mode. I have an XP, W7, and Win 10 boot drive for that machine. I have Win10 set up as AHCI (???). I found if I leave the 1tb data drive (ide) in the machine with the Windows 10 boot drive, Windows 10 corrupts the 1tb data drive (IDE mode). So when that machine is running Windows 10, I have to pull the IDE data drive. I should have left the Windows 10 SSD set up as IDE.

Anyway, with this scope, I’m guessing, Windows 2000 can’t run on a 500gb Drive.

Can the Tektronix Scope software run on Windows 7? I would love to put Windows 7 on the TDS5054. Then it could work on the network.
