Embodiment Construction

[0016] The present invention utilizes the basic input / output system (Basic Input / Output System, hereinafter referred to as BIOS) supporting Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, hereinafter referred to as ACPI) and the operating system (Operation System, OS) supporting ACPI to jointly realize A method of driving a non-native SATA hard disk drive may be made using an operating system's default SATA driver.

[0017] ACPI is used to define a set of hardware and software interfaces, so that the operating system can set the configuration of each hardware in the computer and manage its power supply. ACPI provides a set of ACPI source language code (ACPI source language code, hereinafter referred to as ASL code), which includes various ACPI functions for the operating system to call. When the operating system is first started, it first calls the ACPI _INI function, and then loads the drivers of each hardware in order to set the config...

Abstract

The present invention is the drive method and device for non-protogenetic SATA hard disc driver for computer. The computer includes one BIOS with advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) and one ACPI supporting operation system. The non-protogenetic SATA hard disc driver includes converting interface and PATA inner disc. The drive method includes the first sensing one interruption; then executing the interruption program to detect and storing the timing mode in the PATA inner disc inside the non-protogenetic SATA hard disc driver; loading the default SATA drive program; reporting the stored timing mode; and final setting the SATA hard disc driver based on the timing mode.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a driving method and device for a SATA hard disk drive, and in particular relates to a driving method and device for a non-native SATA (non-native serial ATA) hard disk drive. (2) Background technology [0002] The serial SATA (Serial ATA) hard disk drive is used to replace the traditional parallel PATA (Parallel ATA) hard disk drive. Since the PATA hard disk drive adopts parallel transmission, the number of pins is large, the cable width is relatively large, and the length of the cable is limited in order to achieve transmission synchronization. SATA hard disk drives use serial transmission, so the number of pins is less, and the cable can be longer, making installation easier. Moreover, the SATA hard drive is faster, can reach 150MB / s, and can use multi-link (multi-link) to increase the speed even more. [0003] However, due to the transition from PATA hard drives to SATA hard drives, the technology of native SA...
