500GB SATA HD cannot be recognised on MSI 865GM2-LS

I have just purchased a Seagate Barracuda 500GB Sata II HD. I leave the default jumper setting set to SATA 1 which is limited to 1.5GB/s operation.
I have a MSI 865GM2-LS Mainboard which was purchased in March 2004. I connected the HD to one of the two Mainboard SATA connectors.
My Phoenix Award BIOS on the Mainboard is V5.4. In the BIOS setup in the Integrated Peripherals -> On-Chip Serial ATA Setting, I have configured to either of the following settings for the SATA controller:
1) Auto
2) Native Mode
In either of the 2 above settings, the BIOS setup is not able to recognise the HD.
When I boot up to XP Pro, the HD is also not able to be detected in Computer Management.
The local MSI distributor Corbell in Singapore tested with a similar MSI 865GM2-LS Mainboard with a Seagate 80GB SATA II HD. The jumper was also set to SATA 1. The Mainboard BIOS setting was able to detect the 80GB HD.
Does MSI 865GM2-LS Mainboard BIOS able to detect a big capacity 500GB SATA HD? If not, kindly advise on a solution.
TIA for answering to my enquiries.

I used another SATA cable and connected it to the 2nd SATA Connector on the Mainboard. Now the 500GB HD can be recognised!
Not sure whether the 1st SATA Connector or the 1st SATA Cable is faulty.
On the BIOS setup. I see that there is a X cross on the SATA 0, not sure if  the SATA 0 has already been disabled by MSI at manufactured of the Mainboard. No cross X is shown on SATA 1 which I am currently using now.

  • How do i unistall quicktime if i keep getting the installer note of: the feature you are trying to use on a network resource that is unavailable. i cannot find Quick Time.msi file anywhere. so i cannot uninstall or re install quick time

    any suggestions please??????

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

    i was trying to sync my iphone4 with itunes and my phone was upgraded to ios5 version, i now cannot make call on my iphone because my sim cannot be recognised again. what do i do plsssssss.

    As peter says, this is evidence that your phone was previously hacked and was re-locked by the upgrade.
    ONLY the carrier it is locked to can unlock it.  There is nothing else we can suggest.

  • HT2292 My iphone is described as iPhone 4s on the back, but the model number on the back is A1332. IThe device cannot be recognised on by itunes for windows. any suggestions?

    My iphone is described as iPhone 4s on the back, but the model number on the back is A1332. IThe device cannot be recognised on by itunes for windows. any suggestions?

    Any chance someone had it repaired somewhere (i.e. not by Apple) - maybe had the back glass replaced  by a 3rd party shop at sometime?
    Dose the phone have siri (iPhone 4 would not)? Does the camera have face recognition and panoramo (again, iPhone 4 would not)?
    If everything else checks out as iPhone 4s, then I'd guess the back glass was damaged and someone got it replaced.
    In order to get it recognized by iTunes, you may need to plug it in and force it into recovery mode, see
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and then restore it as a new device.

  • Western Digital 500GB SATA-300 HDD

    Can i install a Western Digital 500GB SATA-300 Hard Drive in my imac?
    Please help!
    My imac is a Intel Based 17¨ 1.83 MHZ.

    You can't install anything (including a new drive) inside an Intel iMac with the exception of ram, if you want to preserve the warranty. This is not to say internal drive couldn't be replaced if you are willing to open the case, or get someone to do it for you. Not clear which Intel iMac you have, your descriptive line at the bottom of your post said it was a "g5" and none of the intel iMac's are g5 based. If yours is a core 2 duo it is quite possibly under the original warranty still, but even if it is a core duo machine and you purchased Applecare you would be advised not to pry open the case.
    A better approach would be to buy an external drive in an enclosure with a USB or firewire interface and use that for your drive expansion.

  • (P965 Neo) Problem booting WM 500GB SATA drive

    Hi guys,
    I've just finished putting together my first custom built system.
    Pentium D 3.4ghz, in a P965 Neo board.
    I've connected a WD 500GB SATA drive to SATA1 port on the board.
    I used the IDE cable to connect 2 CD/DVD Drives.
    I have installed all the drivers on the cd aswell as the online update software.
    The problem I am having is that as soon as the system starts to load, the initial page (after calculating the memory) says that it is unable to find any IDE drives.
    It then askes me to press F1 if i want to continue or DEL for setup.
    HOWEVER if I press F1 and do continue the bootup, it first loads a jmicron technology boot screen, which does show both the sata harddrive + both the CD/DVD drives.
    Then loads up windows normally??
    This is my first experience with SATA drive, so I tried to look at the bio to see if there was maybe a special setting I'm meant to set if I am only using a single sata drive as my primary drive??
    Its rather annoying to say the least having to basically (with every boot) press F1 first, then Enter to skip the JTechnology bit to load windows. For the time being I have disabled the halt on error bit (found in bios) and lowered the Jtechnolgy bit to 1second showing. But I feel this problem may lead to others.
    Any help would really be appreciated.

    BIOS will be able to detect IDE device only if you connect your hard drive to one of the Intel's SATA ports(2-5).As you were told,the first SATA port is controlled by Jmicron.That's why if you connect the hard drive to this port, it will be shown in the Jmicron BIOS, and not in the main BIOS that contains  only devices that are controlled by Intel southbridge. But,nothing to worry about. I'm using the Jmicron port for my Hard drive too, and lot of the people will be surprised if they know that when using this controller(not Intel's), you are getting a better burst rate for your Hard drive(250 MB/s when connected on Jmicron, 197MB/s when connected on Intel).
    So,just install a proper driver for Jmicron,and nothing to worry about.

  • Access to SATA RAID-5 array without an MSI motherboard?

    I have (had) an MSI K8N Diamoond Plus motherboard, and used it to create a bootable SATA RAID-5 array of three 300Gb Western Digital disks.  Two years later, the motherboard developed a serious problem with the memory access, and now it won't POST beyond the memory initialization. So it's fried. I've tried multiple memory modules in multiple configs, and nothing helps.
    OK, no problem, new motherboard and I'm good to go. Only this isn't an MSI motherboard, and it's an Intel chipset. So, the RAID array isn't recognized.
    Are there any software tools that can reconstruct the RAID array when running on a non-nvidia chipset motherboard? Is there any other solution besides buy a new MSI motherboard?
    And, if I have to get a new MSI motherboard to solve this, what's the cheapest currently available motherboard that would be compatible with the RAID established on the original K8N Diamond Plus?

    Quote from: cameradv on 23-January-08, 00:07:27
    Well, I'm not 100% sure which controller was doing the RAID. I'm thinking the SIL, but I beleive it was nvidia software drivers in windows that re-constructed the RAID-5 once when I replaced a drive.  Can you buy a standalone nVidia RAID controller, anyway?
    You were using Nvidia RAID, with Silicon can't do RAID5.

  • RnR Recovery - M57 Vista to 500Gb SATA

    Hi everyone,
    I came across "funny" issue...
    My M57 (6069-CTO) was running well WinXP. Recently I replaced original 250Gb disk with 500Gb (WD5003AZEX) disk.
    I tried to recover my Vista Business SP1 32bit, using original DVD Recovery set. It recovers "service partition" well, then boots up, reaches green/blue background on desktop saying "Please wait while Windows continues setting up your computer". This runs for several minutes and fails with:
    "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer's hardware" After reboot, the following message pops up:
    Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation".
    So far I have tried to set BIOS to default settings (BIOS latest from Lenovo web site), changed SATA/AHCI to IDE (Compatibility), same problems all the time...Tried even to jumper 500Gb disk to run with 3.0Gbps...no luck
    At the same time, I manage to install same set to 160Gb 2.5" drive I have spare without any problems, with SATA/AHCI enabled in the BIOS...
    When doing Image of 160Gb disk and restoring it to 500Gb, Vista boots up OK and works fine (apart from several cosmetic issues which are minor).
    Any idea how to make installation working ?
    Thanks in advance

    You have found a workaround by cloning  250GB to the 500GB.. 
    Per the following link, your WDC is advanced format:
    http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/EN​G/2879-771434.pdf
    This "IA" is a typo from the microsoft link.. it should have said advanced format.  The microsoft link is:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2466753
    AF would require intel chipset  driver 9.6 or higher.  You have found what does work during install on the 500 GB, ie a win 7 lenovo install ( newer, might have the correct intel driver). What does not work is the Vista Lenovo install (older, might not have the driver).  The driver might not even be the problem.
    Typical workaround:
    (1) Bios, Change Raid to AHCI or IDE
    (2) During install, click the load driver button (with the intel driver you copied to a CD). (DID YOU DO THIS?)
    This 2 items seem to not  have helped.
    ===
    If you really want to spend the time, read the above microsoft article and run this test:
    (1) create a win 7 repair CD
    (2) Start the Lenovo vista standalone install until it fails
    (3) Boot to the repair CD and get a command prompt
    (4)Locate the C:\Panther folder and check the error logs with notepad. Is \Panther used in vista install?
    (-or- take the 500GB drive and install as a secondary HDD on another machine and browse the C drive). 
    ===
    I would:
    (1) Burn the intel driver to a CD
    (2) Run Lenovo vista install
    (3) Click load driver button, with intel driver in the CD drive.
    (4) Take your choice of BIOS settings.  I would start with Raid, then AHCI, then IDE.  I really believe this should fix your problem, but I might be wrong.
    (5)Keep the win7 repair CD available if you want to go xxx.log hunting on the C drive.

  • Seagate 500GB SATA

    I purchased a new Seagate internal drive for my T60p to be used either as the boot drive or as the bay drive for data.  However, I can not get the machine to fully acknowledge it.  It will show in the boot list, but it will not boot or appear as an available drive. 
    I have updated the SATA AHCI Controller driver, but haven't been able to find an update to the UltraBay ATA Storage Controller.
    If I boot my XP Prof OS from the Bay Drive using the original 100GB drive, and have the new drive in the Drive 0 location, I can at least see it via the Computer Manager.  I was even able to format it, but it not accessible.
    This new drive has a 3GB transfer rate, and I have tried the jumper setting to reduce it back to a 1.5 GB rate.  No luck.
    Is this related to a 137GB limitation on the drive size?  If so, my Seagate 500GB USB drive works fine, but that may be the difference between USB and an internal drive.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    After lots of trial and error getting my ThinkPad hard drive upgraded, I was able to clone it without reloading Windows. The solution for cloning to this drive from the original is as follows:
    Update the bios to the latest version.
    Apply the firmware upgrade to the hard drive as needed. The firmware upgrade is in the downloads section of Lenovo's site.
    If running XP, make sure it's SP3.
    Unplug the power, remove the battery, then remove the old drive.
    Install the new, empty drive, put the battery back in, and plug in the power.
    Connect the old drive to the USB port.
    Boot the computer using a bootable cloning software disk. I used the bootable version of Seagate Tools since I had a Seagate drive. Easeus Partition Master should work fine as well.
    Proceed with cloning from the USB attached drive to the new drive, keeping the original partition sizes the same.
    After the process completes, the machine will boot from the new drive. Use Easeus Partition Master to move the sevice partition to the end of the drive, and give the unallocated free space to the C: drive. Once that is done, you have your new drive with lots of free space.
    I hope this post helps someone get spared from a lot of grief in trying to upgrade their drive...this procedure is far from what it takes on just about any computer, but it's the only successful way to clone the drive into something that's bootable on the ThinkPad. The only other option is a new install of Windows, then transfer in your data.
