HDClone vs. SATA controller on ASUS M2NPV-VM

Post by umdesch4 » Fri Nov 24, 2006 4:50 am

I bought the standard edition of HDClone a while back, and had no problems using it to clone from an IDE drive to a USB drive. Works great!

Now, however, I have a new system based around an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard, and I've got two identical SATA drives on it. I'd like to clone one to the other, but I can't seem to get the drives to be recognized. I checked out the options in section 3.3.2 of the manual, but none of the suggestions seem viable with the BIOS settings available.

Anyone have any suggestions/workarounds?

Thanks,

Unfortunately, the nForce-Chipset uses a non-AHCI-conforming chipset for SATA, while only the SATA2-specification is currently supported by the version of HDClone which is in the works. Sadly though the nForce chipset does not offer the legacy IDE mode for these drives (I own a nForce chipset by myself, so I know the problem). We're working on a broader support for more SATA chipsets (not limited to AHCI), but I can't specify at this moment when such a version would be available.

Sincerely,
