865pe-Neo2-V Installing Barracuda Sata drive

Trying to install a 400GB barracuda 7200.10- tried using on board sata port 1 but no joy. so bought a silicon image pci card sil 3114, but still unable to get that install correctly to recognise the sata drive.
have tried various configurations of ATA settings in the BIOS but with no effect. ???
but when i look in device manager the sil 3114 sata raid controller is okay but the sil 3114 satalink controller has the yellow !, i have tried updating the driver it says it has the latest.
would appreciate if anyone could shed some like in where i'm going wrong- other than opening up the pc
Thanks
Paul

You need to limit your SATA2 drive to SATA1 mode(since your board doesn't support SATA2), that can be done with HDD jumper configuration:
If still doesn't work, check your BIOS version:
- BIOS reported incorrect CPU temperature.
- Support HDD size over 136.9GB.

How many IDE drives & CDrom can be installed with SATA drives??

How many IDE drives & CDrom can be installed with SATA drives??
i have 2 IDE hard disks & 2 CDROM drives: can install SATA hard disk added to these drives or do i have to remove some???
& if it can be added, can i install 2 SATA drives???
THX in advance

The 3 versions of this board that are available are:
875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0)
875P Neo-LSR (PCB 1.0)
875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0)
All of these boards will have the following ports provider by the chipsets ICH5R south bridge.
2 x SATA (Supporting 2 SATA HDD drives)
2 x PATA (Supporting 4 IDE devices)
All 6 of these can be used at the same time (provided you are using win XP or 2K) you just need to make sure yor BIOS is set right.
->INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS
->ON-CHIP IDE CONFIG
ATA CONFIG: S-ATA ONLY or P-ATA ONLY
S-ATA/P-ATA KEEP ENABLED: YES
OPERATE MODE:
If you set to "legacy mode" S-ATA are set to channel 1 and 2 and P-ATA to channel 3 and 4. If you set to "native mode" P-ATA are channel 1 and 2 and S-ATA 3 and 4. You can only use the raid functionfon SATA in native mode.
If you have the 875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0) you will also have the following ports provided by the Promise PDC20378 PCI controller:
2 x SATA (Supporting 2 SATA HDD drives)
1 x PATA (Supporting 1 Master IDE HDD drive)
The PATA port is limited to 1 Master HDD by the lite BIOS. This can in theory be upgraded to the full BIOS supporting a master and a slave, but this may obviously void your warranty.
So the answer to your origional question is:
2 x SATA HDDs and 4 x IDE HDD/CDROM if you have 875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0) or 875P Neo-LSR (PCB 1.0)
or
4 x SATA HDDs, 1 x IDE HDD (2 if you modify the BIOS) and 4 x IDE HDD/CDROM if you have 875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0)

Can I install a SATA drive in Mirror Drive Door G4?

I am looking at a Seagate 500 GB SATA drive at a great price at MWave ($109.) but see that SATA may require a different cable connector from the IDEs that I normally use in my box. Can I buy some kind of adaptor cable, or do I have to get a card of some kind. Where and how much?
Or, could I install the SATA (it's a ST3500630AS) in an external enclosure that fits ATA 133 3.5 hard drives?
Thanks,

Hi
You'd need a Mac compatible PCI card containing a SATA controller. The FirmTek SeriTek 1S2 or Sonnet Tempo is a popular two port choice (they're effectively the same card) and are available for around $70.
The Sonnet Tempo at least comes with a single SATA data cable, and a single power converter cable that allows you to use a legacy molex power connector (as found in the G4s) to power a SATA drive. Some SATA drives come with both power connectors anyway, hence the converter cable isn't required, but I don't think the Seagates do.
I use SATA drives in my G4 as they're marginally faster, the cabling is generally easier and more importantly they can also be moved to newer Macs in the future which support SATA drives natively. For me the extra cost of a SATA card was worthwhile.

SATA cards are also available from ACARD and SIIG etc.

Install 3rd sata drive?

I have a 300G and a 500G internal SATA drives installed on my G5. What do I need to do to install a 3rd internal 200G SATA? Thank you for any help with this.
PS: I also have 2 external drives, a 250G USB and a 350G FireWire. I need a lot of storage for video.

<http://www.barefeats.com/hard50.html> and more links at the end of the article. You could also look into replacing some of your existing drives with 1 TB drives. More expensive, but faster and cooler.

Can't Install my SATA drive on fresh install of XP.

Ok, Im gonna post all the details because I have also tried some things peeps suggested and they have not worked so I think maybe I have a different problem.
First, im trying to install Windows XP in a new system on a WD raptor 74 GB. I know the power supply is hooked up right(using the SATA power connector) and I have the SATA cable connected to the VIA controller(SER1). In bios, I have the SATA controller under PCI periphirals(the one peeps say is the PROMISE controller) disabled and I have the VIA PATA and SATA enabled. When I go into windows XP setup, I press f6, it brings up the install SATA/RAID or whatever portion. I press S and add the VIA SATA raid controller for WinXP off of the VIA disk and press enter to install. It goes through a bunch of loading stuff and then goes to the winXP install screen. I press enter to install XP but it says there is no hard disk installed. Please help, really aggravating me now :(. Thanks in advance!

865PE Neo2-LS booting from USB drive

I have been searching for an answer to this questions for an hour or so.
How can I make my MB to boot from an external USB drive? I do not even "see" that option in the BIOS, @booting sequence.
Is it a matter of updating my BIOS? I am @1.3, latest is 2.5
Sorry if the answer is already posted, please advice.
Thank you.
Oz.

while you set this BIOS in the very first time for the boot sequence, you must plug in your USB drive before power on. This allow BIOS to detect this "USB floppy" up front. Also enable "Boot to other device" in the BIOS too... hope this helps...
@Maesus, that is the problem. I do not "see" the USB drive when setting the booting sequence. I have enabled "Boot to other device".
Thank you both.

Install sata drive

have a 865pe neo2 and would like to install an sata drive and copy xp from current hard drive to sata drive. can I just install sata drive to sata controller? what to do?
Thanks
JOHN

Quote from: NovJoe on 12-August-07, 11:39:50
Yes, you can install a SATA drive in but you must do the following settings:
ATA On Chip Config: Native
ATA Mode: SATA Only
PATA Keep Enabled: Yes
PATA Channel Selection: No
Set SATA as RAID: No
The rest at defaults.
Next, you can't copy and paste windows from drive to drive as there'll be alot of i386 and winnt/system32 files being locked, thus unable to be copied over.
not looking to copy &paste but will use software that comes with sata drive or some other program to copy win xp to sata drive. will that work?

K8N Neo2 Platinum & sata drive

Just installed a sata drive in a k8 neo2 mb but drive is recongized in bios and device manager but is not recongized in my computer under windows xp pro service pack 2.
any ideas thanks in advance

when you are under XP make this key combination "Winkey+R" (or from start menyu select Run) and write this:
diskmgmt.msc
then click at OK button or hit "ENTER" key.
you need to make partition table(s) with desired File System and corespond logical drive letter

How can i install a sata hard drive in my compaq nx6110

There is a rediculously small hard drive installe in my laptop 40gb. I want to install at least a 240 gb but only can find sata drives that size. How do I go about installing the sata drive.

You cannot install a SATA drive, and you can't go up to 240
because the BIOS is not "48 bit" compatible.
This limits you to 137 GB or less. There are plenty of 120 GB drives
on Ebay for pretty good prices; just search this phrase:
"2.5 PATA 120"
Good luck

SATA driver install in an already built PC

Hello:
I have to briefly add a SATA drive to my system (see below) to recover some data from it. I have no SATA drives in the system now and have not installed the Silicon Image drivers. Do I need to do this or is this strictly for RAID applications. Right now the SATA is disabled in the BIOS. Would I just enable it and install the drivers from the CD when XP detects the H/W? I have 2 PATA drives in there right now. One of these would be removed to temporarily make room for this SATA drive.
I'm running XP home SP2.
Thanks very much

Yes, you need to enable the device first, then install the drivers. After all that, shut down the computer, install the SATA drive, and reboot. Assuming it is a specific RAID controller, you will probably have to enter some sort of RAID configuration utility during boot up (watch for it) and specify the drive. I know I had to specify a single drive in it's own RAID0 on my ASUS A7V8X to get it to work. After all that is complete, you may have to partition the drive and format it, so If you already have info on the drive that is needed, I would back it up on another device.
Again, this assumes that it is RAID specific. It may not require any of the above other than drivers.

How do I install SATA driver?

I've got a Raptor and I'm running it in a K8N Neo Platinum. I've also got a Sony DVD recorder.
Which SATA do I hook the drive to and which IDE do I hook the recorder to?
Also, how do I install the SATA driver? I don't want to use RAID so do I still need to intall a SATA driver?
I ran into a problem when I was installing Windows XP and it said it couldn't load the device driver for my diskdrive and CD ROm Drive. I'm not sure why but I thought it might have something to do with SATA.
Thank you,

Oh man it's been a long 24 hours! The reason I'm just getting back is because I removed my IDE HDD from this PC and installed it in my new K8N Neo. Well, it wasn't the SATA HDD causing the problem. I then removed my PS from this computer and installed it in the new one. Well, it wasn't the PS. Then I swapped my new PC3500 Mushkin Enhanced Memory 1GB (2x512) for my 1GB of Corsair XMS PC3200 in my old PC. Well, XP installed without a problem. It was my DAMN RAM. I guess it's bad or the Neo just doesn't like it. Anyway, I finally got this computer (old) back up and running so I could post.
I put the Mushkin back in the Neo PC and tried to install XP again with just one stick at a time. It still wouldn't let me. I then lowered the speed of the memory down to 166Mhz from 200Mhz with one stick and XP loaded without a problem.
So what do you guys think? Is my memory bad or does this board just not like Mushkin PC3500?
Will I get hit will a restock fee from newegg when I return this memory and what memory should I get to replace it?

T410s SATA driver install

I have a stable of T410s machines that came with XP Pro loaded. I need to install Exterprise XP Pro. Unfurtunately, once the Enterprise edition is installed, the SATA driver won't install and we're stuck in Compatability Mode.
I have the exact driver (from the NIB machine and website), and try the force-feed method (Update Driver/Don't Search/Have Disk/point to iaStor.inf in the IMSM folder [taken from the factory installation and web download of WinXP]). The machine blue screens during the install. Has anyone been able to load this driver?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi bhnelson,
I'm not sure exactly what steps you followed, but i believe what could be the problem is that you never did run the install.cmd.
Try to download this driver, run to extract and it should be under "C:\DRIVERS\WIN\IRST":
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-74431
(optionally you can download a newer version of this driver directly from Intel)
Then follow these steps (since you already got Windows XP running and compatibility mode set i guess you could start with step 9):
1. Power off the computer.
2. Power on the computer.
3. Press the F1 key to enter the BIOS Setup Utility when the ThinkPad logo is seen on the screen. The BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If a password prompt appears, type the correct password.
4. Select Config.
5. Select Serial ATA (SATA).
6. Select Compatibility.
7. Press the F10 key to save the new setup, and then select Yes.
8. Restart the computer.
9. Go to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\IRST\PREPARE, and double-click install.cmd.
10. Power off and on the computer.
11. Press the F1 key to enter the BIOS Setup Utility when the ThinkPad logo is seen on the screen. The BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If a password prompt appears, type the correct password.
12. Select Config.
13. Select Serial ATA (SATA).
14. Select AHCI.
15. Press the F10 key to save the new setup, and then select Yes. The computer will reboot and Windows XP will start.
16. The "Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard" appears. Click No, not this time, and then click Next.
17. Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced), and then click Next.
18. Select Search for the best driver in these locations. Then select Include this location in the search:, specify the path, C:\DRIVERS\WIN\IRST, and click Next. The "Completing the Found New Hardware Wizard" appears.
19. Click Finish.
20. When the "System Settings Change" window appears, click Yes. The computer restarts.

Asmedia 106x SATA Driver install

I run the install for the Asmedia 106x SATA Driver install for my Z77A-GD80 motherboard. The install appears to complete successfully. When I go back and scan my computer with the MSI Live Update program, it shows the old driver still in place.
Any suggestions to get the install to run successfully?

Yes, you need to enable the device first, then install the drivers. After all that, shut down the computer, install the SATA drive, and reboot. Assuming it is a specific RAID controller, you will probably have to enter some sort of RAID configuration utility during boot up (watch for it) and specify the drive.

Problem adding SATA drive

Hi all
First time poster, long time lurker.
Hoping someone here can shed a bit of light on an unusual problem I am having.
Before I outline the problem I will say that my system is running beautifully, I've not got any problems with it in its current configuration, in fact it is the most stable set up I've owned so far. I am a happy MSI owner.
If I can get this issue sorted I'll be an extremely happy MSI owner. Now to the actual problem...
I have a pair of 36GB SCSI160 drives that I use for my system and apps drives and a 120GB ATA drive that I use for storage.
I've purchased a 120GB Seagate Barracuda SATA drive to add to my system as I've just about run out of space on the 120GB ATA drive, my storage drive.
I installed the new drive, set it up as a single Raid 0 volume using the SATA boot utility and checked it all under DOS, tested all OK.
The problem happens once I've booted into windows and enter my username and password.
I get a BSOD, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP 0x000000D1 Error which then does a memory dump, do a reboot and same thing.
Remove the SATA drive and system boots and works flawlessly, I'm typing this on it right now!
I can have the SATA drive connected to the system and NOT have a volume on it and the system works fine, naturally WINXP doesn't see the drive but it doesn't interfer with the operations at all. As soon as I put a volume on the drive... bam, BSOD next time I try to login after I boot up WinXP.
This indicates to me that the issue is a driver problem... I've tried the latest and still the same situation.
Any suggestions folks?

things like this are all over the board though yours does not sound totally the same
Thanks for the link.
Very informative. Appears that there isn't an option for me at this time other than NOT using one or the other... I can have SCSI card and no onboard SATA OR I can have onboard SATA and no SCSI card.
Seems to me a BIOS revision is needed as it appears that this is not an uncommon scenario.
Thank you for your time Wonkanoby.
