Sony PC will not install windows (Onyx old computer)

The jumper would go on the pins to the right. It will be a tight fit.

I only see a rectangular hole on the right, lol. At that image size I can’t see any pins.

I guess it’s cause I’ve worked on computers for 20 years I can see em a mile away. After the black empty rectangle one more spot to the right I can see 4 sets of jumper pins. Beyond that the label would tell you which jumper slows the bus, if it’s an option.

Can you buy jumpers locally? I know there real cheap online but I don’t feel like waiting for something else to be shipped in.

Dude you have a old mobo or hdd? Grab them off their, I’d I remember correctly the old p4 mobos were only Sata 1 1.5gbs so this has to have a jumper. If you don’t have any I have alot, I’m located In blasdell. I’m willing to even help ya if you come out here

Might take you up on that… Im just worried I get out there and it’s not a jumper :-/

I’m sure there must be a local computer place, maybe even Best Buy or Radio Shack that has jumpers.

You can use a paperclip, a piece of wire, really anything that conducts as a jumper

I just pulled two off an old hard drive…

I got a jumper at work… I think it’s pin 5/6? I’ll have to look when I get home. I pray it works.

I have everything possible, this is my life, my hobby, my passion, my job, I won’t give up until I have a solution. Lmk tho

Any update? and ontop of the hdd will tell you what to jump the drive to.

I’ll know if that’s the problem by 9:30… I’ll be out of work shortly.

It felt like the install went further than usual but of course was hit with the prompt even with the jumper on 5/6

I know someone said it’s 5/6 but can anyone verify that?

EDIT: I tried 7/8 as well (said something about using XP partition 1?) tried it anyway and it didn’t work either.

A quick google of your error message brings up this result:

are you formatting the drive before installing?

Yeah.

How about trying this:

RAID

If your system has a supported RAID controller, follow these steps to install the operating system on a 4k sector disk:

  • Download the latest driver files for Intel® RST.
  • Use the Load Driver method to load the driver during operating system install

There are some PDFs with the specs of your HD on New Egg, but I couldn’t find anything about jumping.

I think the HD you bought has a 6gb/s rate right? You need to get it down to 1.5gb/s… maybe there is more than 1 jumper needed, I have no idea. :frowning:
