''The Disk is offline because it has a reduntant path with another device.''
After rearranging my HDD drives, one remains
offline with the above message when I attempt to online it. Also the following has appeared in the ''disk drives'' list in device manager..... ''Prolific ATAPI-6 Bridge C USB Device'' How can I fix this? Peter |

''Prolific ATAPI-6 Bridge C USB Device'' How can I fix this? Peter Do you have an old disk enclosure plugged in, with no hard drive inside it ? The PL-2307 USB to IDE chip might correspond to that device string, but I can't be 100% sure. I found an old product brief that mentions only ATAPI-4, so that's not it. There is also the PL-2507, but it is a USB to SATA chip. It can claim to be ATAPI-6 if it wants, because such a designator is irrelevant (the real device would transfer at whatever SATA rate was negotiated). Check to see if an enclosure with that chip in it is still connected. It could even be a "dock" for that matter, but that is probably a pretty old product for such a thing. (There are dock chips now with SATA III capability.) Paul |
