I got a external hard drive INOi for Christmas 3 years ago and now that I have a new computer (64-bit) my hard drive takes really long to load up, and sometimes, it just crashes. Is there a website I can get a upgrade so that its more compatible or do I have to get a new one?

Did you ever resolve?

This is the board with the external OC monitoring panel, right?! I owned this, too. I had a similar KV8 board from Soltek, as well--post codes, also. My Abit died several years ago.

The ABit's manual still exists online. According to the code, It's hanging on the onscreen logo--it says to switch to text. Here's the page describing your code: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/615/Abit-Amd-Athlon-Kv8-Pro.html?page=69#manual

If I remember correctly, that's not a serious error code--popped up often after new installs.

If it's a hard drive error--do you have the master/slave configuration jumpers correct? (Hard drive vs. Optical drive? Probably, you want the hard drive as master--optical as slave)

Is cable orientation (Pin 1--from PATA cable and at drive(s)/board) correct? Perhaps I remember now--maybe the BIOS can't get to the hard drive and OS.

Is your floppy light always illuminated (it shouldn't be)--is that cable installed correctly?

If your onboard hdd controller is dead--and, you worked with AGP over the years--you likely have a PCI card that will take its place. (If not, you may purchase that pretty easily. still.) Syba, Siig, Sabrent, StarTech, etc.

If your controller is OK, have you tried running a live i386 (32-bit) or AMD 64(64-bit) Linux disk or an old Bios upgrade/DOS floppy--to see if you get some type of OS posts? Is your proc 64-bit or 32-bit?: If I remember correctly, 754 CPUs generally were 64-bit--some were 32-bit, though (I still own one of those, too).

Did you clear your CMOS first (move the jumper for a few seconds and back)? Is the jumper correctly installed now?

Ah, the days of socket 754 (I never obtained Socket 939.....) Socket 754 still is a good value--you may obtain such a proc for about $5 on Ebay. (Used boards are a little pricey--considering.) I get the sense that 754 was the business board--939 was the gamer board.

Recently, I resurrected my old Shuttle Athlon XP board--considering its age, it holds up pretty well. Works fine with 32-bit Linux Debian distros. Dual-channel. Great OC board in its day. Currently, I have a 9800XL card in--soon, I'll put in a 3850 AGP....

Not sure what you are trying to do. If you are trying to convert 32 bit to 64 bit Apps, try going to manufacturers website to look for drivers.
Win 7 will actually find the best drivers for your devices.

It may be that you need a driver for that particular external hard drive.

Visit: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/ and search for your specific model and see if a driver for 64-bit Windows 7 is available.

if you external hdd does not work on any other computer other than yours . try opening it with a linux OS. u can Ubuntu live cd .. boot from it and run it live...connect your HDD .. i hope you can see you files then >>> good luck

Hello,

Check the drive with another computer. One with Vista and one with Windows 7 if possible.
This will tell you if there really is a problem or not.

Hope that helps

With the USB drive inserted, do a search for "Manage", open computer Management, select "Manage hard drives". Try formatting, etc. from there.

Sounds like a Bit recognition failure. Is there a way to establish the firmware or software on the harddrive you may need to http://inoi.com/English/DriverDownloads.asp
This may resolve the issue and May you enjoy

Did you load software ? You have a 64 bit Operating System (OS) and MANY companies don't make 64bit software. 95% of PCs are 32 bit. This is same problem other external drive makers are having, Vista 64 bit was sold as "typical" PC when it's for very powerful users. Many "drivers" that talk to the equipment must be written for 64bit software. Check the companie's site to see if it's VISTA 64 bit compatible. Bet it's not ! !

Format the player to NTFS and it will solve the issue.

All the best!

Maybe your external hard drive is not recognised by your computer. If you use Mac, you can follow this guide to fix external hard drive not showing up on Mac: How to Fix External Hard Drive Not Showing Up on Mac
