Samsung Hm320ji

Hello,
I am having problems finding drivers for this device. At least I think I am. I'm not sure if I'm suppose to be looking for drivers for this device or for the "Intel(R) 82801 GHM SATA RAID Controller". I am doing this because I have been having a BSOD with my "dump_iastor.sys" and I heard its a hard driver problem. Not sure about it though. If this is not the case I may just use these drivers for my RAID to go to Windows XP. If you can understand this jumbled mess any help would be appreciated. Thank you much.

 

hi all.

just thought id leave this bit of knowledge here seeing as it took me a full day of work to figure out and this is the first result on google. i too had to install a samsung hm320ji hard drive and had severe difficulty doing so. heres the setup:

2006 hp dv1660se from best buy on clearance
intel chip set and core duo processors
old drive: fujitsu 80gb mhv2080bh IDE/SATA
new drive: samsung 320gb hm320ji SATA (newegg, $56 on clearance)
running windows xp sp3, fully updated

i tried endlessly to get my system to recognize this hd to no avail today. i tried booting from a windows disk, the best buy MRIu cd (aka geek squad cd), and acronis true image home bootable disks. i installed the F23 hp bios update that was allegedly supposed to allow for full SATA cooperation in windows xp as per the hp website which i dont think helped at all. hp's programmers did an extremely poor job with this bios because it absolutely REQUIRES that a floppy drive be available to extract the bios bootable. i worked around this with a bootable usb. after tinkering in the bios, i figured id try booting with native sata support DISABLED (yes, you heard it right, DISABLED). miraculously, the hard drive booted fine and the samsung bootable disk designed to format the hd ran perfectly. i was told by the program that partitions greater than 137gb in size my cause corrupted data. i have a disk image from the fujitsu saved on a Western Digital 120gb external usb drive that i backed up prior to this (about 24gb in size). additionally, i had all of my music and movies backed up on other media (hence the small disk image). the samsung utility allowed me to partition and format a single 320gb drive in NTFS and reboot. the acronis (true image 11 home edition, great software btw) booted fine afterward and the old disk image was restored on the new drive flawlessly. both the MBR/zero space and the C; partition were restored. strangly enough, after checking the bios post-restore, the SATA support was again marked as enabled. ive been working on this laptop for almost 6 hours now without incident. all system settings are exactly the way they were on the old drive. i really hope this helps someone out there with a dv1000 series laptop. best of luck!
