• If you switch off the electric power of an embedded device ( e.g. Raspberry Pi ) which writes on a SD memory card at this moment, the software function of the SD memory card will be likely damaged: Either just the file system is corrupt, or even the whole card. Reformatting ( or fixing ) of the filesystem or even reformatting of the whole card is necessary. Though there is no physical damage.

  • On my Lenovo M58p:
    • The BIOS generated an error message during BIOS power-on self-test ( POST ). Sometimes ( by what? ), the PCI card devices are recognized properly as:

  • The PCI card is listed by the Windows device manager of Win10 as “IEEE 1394 host controller / Texas Instruments 1934 OHCI Compliant Host Controller”.
    • First there was a problem of the Windows device manager:

  • It is accepted properly by the BIOS of my “Lenovo M58p” computer.
    • In AHCI mode, SATA drives appear as “PCI SCSI devices” at “Startup / Startup Sequence”. By this, You may boot from SATA drives.
    • In non-AHCI mode, IDE and SATA drives appear as “PCI SCSI devices” at “Startup / Startup Sequence”. By this, You may boot from IDE and SATA drives.
  • It is shipped with an accompanying MiniCD, with some drivers:

    • Hardware compatibility.
      • On my “Lenovo ThinkCentre 58p” 64-bit desktop computer of 2009:
        • In AHCI mode, the BIOS generated an error message during BIOS power-on self-test ( POST ). By that, the Lenov boots by CDROM/DVD or harddisk, by bypassing the Floppy Disk.
        • It doesn´t displays a welcome message on the boot screen and by that doesn´t allows to enter the setup menu.
      • On my “Asus A7V333” 32-bit desktop computer of 2002, the card is recognized properly.
        • It displays a welcome message on the boot screen and allows to enter the setup menu.
        • I may boot by a SATA DVD drive.
    • Software Compatibility with W2K.
      • W2K accepts additional drivers on Floppy Disk A: only, i.e. not on CD-ROM.
      • The SATA driver installation files supplied on CD in the directory “Z:\windows” are not suitable to be used to be loaded by F6 during W2k installation. If you copy the files from that directory to the root directory of a Floppy Disk, the German W2k installer complains
