    Device Error
AI Thread Summary
SATA (Serial ATA) is a mass-storage interface commonly used in modern PCs to connect hard drives to the motherboard. If a PC displays a "SATA device not found" error, it indicates that the operating system cannot detect a connected SATA hard drive. This issue can arise if there is no SATA hard drive installed or if there is a malfunction with the drive or its connection. In some cases, this error may not indicate a critical failure, especially if the system continues to operate normally despite the message. Troubleshooting steps may include checking physical connections, ensuring the drive is properly installed, or addressing any conflicts with other hardware, such as modems.

Hi. My PC says he couldn't found SATA device. But I don't know the importance of it. Can you give me some information about it? And I also wonder that, can it be a fatal error?

Thanks..

Serial ATA (SATA) is a mass-storage interface that has recently become popular in new high-end personal computers. It is generally used to connect hard drives to the motherboard.

If you have a SATA hard drive that is not showing up in your operating system, then you might have a problem. If you do not have a SATA hard drive, then it would be reasonable if it weren't found.

Can you provide more information about where this error message is generated?

Main problem was my fax-modem. (Now I am at school :wink: ) I bought it just 10 days before, after I supply internet connection cable, PC could not found modem's itself. After it found modem, computer started to shuting down and openning automatically. I opened it in safe mode and erased the modem I uploaded. Then it gives a message before Windows starting. The message was:" SATA Device not found" But there was no problem about it's working and processing. But I called service and they took it.
 

Thread 'The Human Cost of AI'

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
