[875P Neo Series] P4N Diamond - RAID problem

Hi,
I just purchased a P4N Diamond. I've installed WinXP-SP2 on a single Samsung 70GB IDE disk on IDE1 as Primary Master. Two CD/DVD drives are on IDE2.
SATA-1 and SATA-2 are connected to Hitachi 500GB SATA drives.
I've entered the nVidea RAID utility in Bios by pressing F10 during boot, and established the two SATA drives as a mirrored volume.
After reboot the RAID volume is detected and appear as sync'ed during reboot.
Now comws the problems: I am utterly unable to set these two drives up as a mirrored volume under WindowsXP-SP2:
When I enter Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk management, both disks appear as separate disks and Unallocated.  When I Right Click to create a new volume, I don't the option of creating a Mirrored volume.
Even stranger thing happens if I now exit everything and reboot: The nVidea RAID utility in BIOS has now been reset to two separate drives.
Question is: What do I do wrong, and how do I get these two 500GB drives set up as one mirrored RAID volume?
Regards,
Robert H

read the raid manual ?

  • [nVidia Series] P4N Diamond raid problem

    i have a P4N diamond motherboard with a 3 ghz cpu on. I have setted up a raid 5 with 4 drives on the nvidia raid controller. on the sillicon raid controller i want to have to have 2 sata disks striped. In the sillicon bios for the raid i have configured those 2 drives for raid0 and i get 1 logical drive which i also can see from the bios. My problem is then that when i boot up the computer and begin the installation of windows xp ( and give it the sillicon driver with the F6 button ) then i get 2 logical disks on the sillicon controller instead of my striped raid0 drive.
    What do i do wrong? everything looks right for me in the bios. Raid is enabled and the serial ata ports are enabled. Help please

    problem fixed by using the right silicon driver. the orginal diskette driver can not be used. you need to make a diskette with the raid version of the silicon driver.

  • [nVidia Series] P4N Diamond - RAID 5 plus two SATA DVD-RW setup

    Can someone help with a good bios config to give RAID 5 across 3x 200GB and 2x Plextor SATA DVD-RW. I'm guessing the HDD's should be
    on SATA 1-3 and the DVD's on SATA 5-6, not too sure what to enable/disable in the bios. I have configured the HDD's as RAID 5 so far but not installed the OS yet.

    Fixed my problem by fitting the DVD's as IDE devices and setting PATA.

  • [nVidia Series] P4N Diamond Major Raid Problems

    This is a very hard problem to explain so i will be very basic i can not get raid to run on this board, with the drivers that came with the board windows will set up but then can not reboot! With newer drivers from nvidia windows can not copy files for installation.At the moment i have windows set up on a single drive and it runs fine But i did not spend all this money just to run 1 drive to me this a worthless board if i cant get raid going any one out there have any ideas pls let me know.
    P4N Diamond SLI
    P4 650 3.4 GHz
    4x 512 Geil DDR2 667
    2x 6800 gt's (SLI)
    Plextor 8x sata DVD Burner
    NEC 16x Dual layer DVD Burner (IDE)
    MSi TV Tuner Plus
    4x 80 Gig sata2 hd's
    550W Rosewill PSU (I allready know its not the prob!)

    Just to be clear, the process you used was:
    1. In the board bios (accessed with the Del key) you enabled the nVidia raid function.
    2. Then you enabled Raid for the Primary and Secondary SATA1 channels
    3. You then rebooted the computer and used the F10 key to access the raid bios in order to configure the drives.
    The online manual doesn't talk about step 3 at all. You should be able to refer to section 5 in the english manual from the AMD board if you don't have it in your paper copy:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/manual/mnu/spt_mnu_detail.php?UID=637&kind=1
    I would think the configuration should be the same.
    Good luck, you've gone past my limited knowledge on these boards.

  • [875P Neo Series] problems powering up when sata on ich5r is enabled

    Hello, there is a problem on my 875 neo fis2r motherboard.
    In the "integrated peripherals"-->"on chip ide" section on the bios (v2.4), when i leave the option "sata keep enabled" to yes, i have problems on system power up.
    I switch on my computer and there might be half a minute or more until i here the "beep" on the motherboard and boot from my HD.
    Could anybody know what is wrong?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hey Grigo,
    For that set up, I would recommend trying the following settings:
    On Chip Operate Mode:  Native
    ATA Configuration: S-ATA Only
    SATA Keep enabled : Yes
    PATA Keep enabled : Yes
    That's how I set up my old 875P without trouble when I installed a pair of drives in RAID 0.  In your sig I don't see two drives, so I'm not sure what else to provide. (whether you are building a new comp or upgrading to RAID 0 etc)
    For further reference, have a look at Vango's guide to RAID setup here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=38845.0

  • [875P Neo Series] 875P NEO FIS2R - Bootup delay with disk attached to Promise RAID

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my 875P NEO FIS2R mobo. I just added a 400GB SATA RAID-0 array to the Promise controller and now I get a 50 second bootup delay after the BIOS has run through everything and beeped and before the first WinXP splash screen.
    I boot up from a 160GB SATA RAID-0 array on the intel ICH5R controller. Both arrays work fine from within Windows. I have two DVD drives on the ICH5R PATA connection but nothing else on the Promise.
    If I disable the Promise controller in BIOS the delay goes away.
    I have tried disabling SMART, turning off the quick-boot option with no effect.
    When I first installed my system I tested performance with booting from a single SATA drive on ICH5R vs Promise and I noticed the same issue, but didn't care then because I only needed one disk so I just kept Promise disabled in BIOS.
    Any ideas how I can get around this?
    Regards,
    Jonathan

    Sorry I have been a away for a few days.

    If the Promise controller was out of the picture (Disabled), and you have the SCSI adaptor and its devices setup:
    1. What is the adaptor's SCSI ID?
    7
    Quote
    2. List devices, position in the chain and their corresponding SCSI ID's.
    #7 Adaptec 2930CU card
    #4 Nikon Coolscan LS30 scanner
    #3 Umax Astra 1220S scanner
    #5 Iomega ZIP 100 drive
    Quote
    3. What type of terminination are you using?
    Adaptec card has auto-termination.
    ZIP drive has a termination connector attached.
    Quote
    4. Are the devices in the chain functioning properly?
    Yes.
    Quote
    I agree that your problem is your SCSI controller. There may not be anything actually wrong with it. The 2930 was an agressive controller card and its BIOS simply may not coexist with your motherboard's BIOS optimally. Even with the BIOS disabled, it may be competing with the motherboard's request for handlers.
    You may want to check to see if there is a BIOS update on Adaptec's website. Adaptec usually released 1 or 2 updates for each SCSI generation they produced. It may or may not help but we need to make sure you have the latest BIOS released.
    Unfortunately, this card cannot be reflashed.
    Quote
    At any rate, I think you have found the component which is responsible for the delay. I'm willing to assist in diagnosing the issue but I need you to provide the specific information I'm requesting.
    Also, try to do a CTRL-Pause to catch exactly what the BIOS version is and any other information which is showing up with the BIOS disabled. The SCSI adaptor BIOS, in fact, should not be enabled in your SCSI configuration as you have described thus far.
    Adaptec AHA 2930CU SCSI BIOS v1.34.1.
    There seems to be a difference between BIOS and host adapter BIOS. You always get the BIOS screen, but you can disable the host adapter BIOS if it is not required.
    I am pretty sure it is not the SCSI chain that is wonr because the pause happens with nothing connected to the card.

  • [nVidia Series] P4N Diamond (Nforce4 Intel Edition) Problems

    I hope some of you have the P4N Diamond motherboard.  I recently picked this up at $250 from Newegg.  Quick ship.  I've never been more depressed about a new flagship product.  Maybe you can help.
    It shipped with bios 1.00 dated 04/26/05.  I'm using it with a 530J, X700 Pro, Promise FasTrack sx4000lite RAID5 setup, and PDP PC2-5600+XBLK (2x512 dual channel kit). 
    With the 1.00 bios, I could not make any adjustments to DDR2 speed or to voltages for DDR2 or CPU.
    I asked MSI for help.  I got a 1.10 bios revision (apparently beta).
    With the 1.10 bios, I could now adjust the voltages, but my DDR2 speed is still locked in the 800FSB/533DDR2 ratio.  The only way I can change the memory speeds is to change the FSB (QDR) speed and the DDR2 speed changes in that ratio (as if it is set to "linked" in the bios).  This only works when it is set to "manual" for speed control.  If it's set to auto, I can't change anything.  If it's set to linked, I can change the FSB (but not DDR2 although I can see it).  I can select DDR2, but if I press +/- to change the values while in manual mode, the screen just flashes and no values change.
    I'm pretty upset, because hardwarezone received a test product directly from MSI and they verify their board WILL INDEED allow for independent FSB and Memory settings.  They have not yet confirmed the BIOS revision they were sent.  The *only* reason I bought this board was to take advantage of the incredibly overclockable DDR2 memory I've purchased (rated to 710mhz@4-3-3-12-1) and because it's the first board I've ever seen advertised to set fsb and memory clock speeds completely independently.  MSI even claims they hit 910/933mhz with this board in testing with Corsair memory (which my PDP memory outperforms on all other reviews, ie tomshardware roundup).
    It gets worse.  Newegg apparently isn't getting any RMA support from MSI, as they've set a policy of *returned for exchange of same make/model only* on this product and will not give me a refund (even with a restocking fee).  So, I'm holding a $250 motherboard that is effectively no better than the $100 Asus P5GDC Deluxe I replaced with it (I don't plan to SLI in the immediate future, but somehow I don't expect that to work as advertised either since hardwarezone didn't bother to test it).
    All I've heard from MSI fanboys is how great MSI is and how overpriced Abit and Asus are.. so I decided to give MSI a try (the first time I've done that since the days of the first athlon boards they made). 
    Tell me I've not been fooled by marketting lies into buying a board that does not offer the functionality it's reported to have.  Someone has to have this working... please help me.
    Also, I'd be at the diamond member forums, except.. GUESS WHAT!?  The diamond membership card included with the P4N Diamond doesn't work there. :(  Boo.
    Newegg and MSI have thus far hung me out to dry.  Maybe you guys can help me.

    Thanks for the replies.  I've already tried everything mentioned.  I absolutely cannot change the DDR2 speed at all.  The only way to get the value in the DDR2 speed field to change is by setting the overclock method to manual and changing the FSB(QDR) speed, which updates the DDR2 speed field automatically in the 800:533 ratio.
    Am I really expected to be patient when review sites receive cherry picked goods to review that have significantly more functionality than the consumer board I purchased, which is effectively lying to consumers (like myself) to get the $240 price of the board?  I'm not angry with anyone here, of course.  I'm just trying to verify that the problems I'm experiencing are affecting other non-review site owners of the board, so I'll know wether or not I ever want to trust an MSI review again.

    i would not even try to power up the sys untill the psu is in place,if the cpu failed and needs a warranty replacement i dont think you will get any fuss out of intel,BUT you may have other problems looming that may appear at some time or another,lack of AMPERAGE {not voltage} can have a very  NEGATIVE affect on the sys as a whole,if it is a mobo failure you should be ok with that also,it just takes a long time during a RMA process since it usually takes 4 to 6 weeks to complete each,mark it up to a learning experence,the PSU {imo} IS the most important piece of hardware that you or anyone will purchase for a computer !

    does anyone use the dlink lights at all...and is it a reliable troubleshooting tool
    ,i donot use it but many here do and find it very usefull. also look here  https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=34535.0;all
    also the battery can have a bad contact which can cause a no post,also the psu connector pins can become dislodged and push back and cause arching {because of current jumping} that can be harmfull to the pins and sockets.
    hope this helps!

    then the hangs started occuring more rapidly, and now the pc starts VERY randomly
    i often have to try to start it 10-15 times before it starts....
    the chipset and cpu fan starts, the hd drives starts and the ROM starts, but no signal to vga card.
    i have tried to reset chmos, changed vga card, stripped the pc, but nothing works..
    and: it has worked for over 7 months without any probs...
    is it possible a virus did this ??
    can anybody help ???
    please ???

    350 watts is far to low for your system............
    Min AMPS on +12V rail for your system should 24AMPS
    Q-Tec do not have good rep and have caused at lot of problems
    Try a brand name 450+Watt PSU Enermax or Antec or Hiper series (These I have personally tested)

  • P4N diamond sata problem

    Hi
    I got a big problem with my P4N diamond motherboard, my problem is the nvidia sata controller, when I connect a sata drive in slot 1- 4 the system hangs with a black screen just before windows boots, if I turn on raid the system boots with no problem, but I don’t wanna have raid, I have tried different sata harddisks with the same problem, so I know that is not the drive that is the problem and also if I put the drive in slot 5-6 ( Silicon image controller ) the system boots with no problem
    So my question is how do I setup my system right or is there something wrong with the controller
    Thanx

    All drivers is installed, and I cant boot with cd-rom or anyting when the harddisk is set to nvraid controller and the nvraid is disable, if I enable nvraid and enable all 4 sata drives and disable pata on the drives the system boots with no problem, but as I don’t want my drives raided, so I got a problem I think there is something wrong with the controller ?
    I have tried segate, Maxtor and wd drives but the same thing happens

  • 875P-Neo FIS2R v1.0 BIOS Problems

    Purchased PC in June w/875P-Neo w/1ea. 80G SATA, 2ea. 200G ATA-133 w/SATA Adapters as RAID 0, Windows Server 2003, NVidia TNT 32M AGP Video, Floppy, and Pioneer DVD-RW, using 2G Kingston DDR 400 Dual-Channel RAM.  PC in Box with 7 Case fans, and P4-2.8GHz 800FSB w/CNPS-7000 Copper Flower CPU Fan/HS.
    Once or twice per week W2K3 would lock up with basic desktop but no taskbar and no keyboard or mouse function (arrow moved, but that's all).  Tried all software and BIOS settings I could think of to no avail.  Downloaded and installed v1.6 from MSI and all seemed OK but as I was going through BIOS checking/changing settings as required my video would start jumping and dashes and underlines would appear randomly on screen.  Problem would get worse the longer I was in the BIOS setup.  I could not get W2K3 to boot after v1.6 so tried the recover process.  This appeared to work until I tried the re-boot after getting the 4 beeps.  Now all that happens is the BIOS wants to continuously recover from floppy beeping 4 times every time.  If I remove the floppy it would keep looking at the floppy drive forever, beeping once every now and then.
    I returned the PC to where I purchased it and they replaced the mainboard which seemed OK.  I had the tech flash the BIOS before bringing it home with 1.6.  After I got it home, I began getting the same behavior as before the recover process on the first MB (above).  I decided to see if I could get the system to take BIOS v1.4 since I have another computer with that version that is stable.  It worked!  So far the PC seems OK with v1.4 except I wanted some of the features in the new versions.
    What is going on with v1.6?  Have others had probems with this BIOS version?  Is v1.5 safe?
    BTW, I used the RAM Disk method of updating the BIOS everytime except during the recovery attempt.
    Thanks,
    UProsper

    Actually everything is brand new as of June and all components are matched.  The Video is a 4X AGP (1.5v) and has worked fine before the v1.6 BIOS.  The tech that installed my replacement MB told me the BIOS version in the MB originally was v1.2, but I didn't actually see the screen from the original BIOS before it was updated.  What's strange is two boards behaved the same with v1.6.  I did get the new MB to settle down with v1.4 and I have another computer with the 875P-Neo and v1.4 working fine.
    Either v1.6 has issues or there is something unique about my configuration that it has problems with.  I don't dare update my other computer (that is configured differently) to find out.  I really want some input from someone at MSI or someone who has experienced similar results with v1.6 and this board.  I am hoping there is something with 1.6 that will be fixed in the next release.
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • Posible p4n diamond heat problem and other beep question

    Hi   was using my p4n diamond for about 2h 30min and it all of a sudden just cuts out with no warning.
    im unsure if its heat related thought the constant 55C is not as good temp as i should probably have but it stays stable there.
    Also when i recently installed msi core it said i was very close to the voltages it had in the display just to hope to rule out power problems.
    i have the cases 120mm exaust fan in the back an 80mm input fan in thefront and then the cpu fan that came with my pentium d 830 .
    if its heat related should i get another 80mm fan as an exaust or an 80 mm input fan. i have one more spot on the door of the case.
    ----other beep question--
    I was also wondering about the beeps on my computer. when i first was working with this pcc i had no beeps but then when working i had one beep  before os   then two after os and usb case plugs and floppy , 3 when i put on a printer and then back to one and then no  beeps.
    are these my beeps going down related to my heat or is this mother board short lived . one beeps soposed to mean that its loading properly
    thanks
     

    regarding your question about target temperature. my board isn't exactly the same as yours, but it's close.
    you are right that you can lower the target temp and it will tend to cool the cpu because the fan runs faster at a lower temperature. the way i set up mine was to DISABLE the target temp and that gives the fan full voltage at all temps. that way, the fan rpm will bottom out at 2250rpm (instead of 1100rpm up to the target temp) or so even at lower temps.
    also keep in mind that your cpu temp in the bios disply should be a few degrees HIGHER than the temp in "idle windows".
    the intel data sheet for the pentium D 8xx series says that the max temp is 69C. so your cpu shouldnt have a problem at 55C.
    i ran a prime95 primality test for about 17 hours at 60C to test stability (while using the computer for my normal foreground tasks) and didn't have a problem. i'm NOT recommending this. but i wanted you to know that this cpu doesn't have a problem with temps in the 60C range. and that msi motherboard will stand up to rough treatment.
    also, in my humble opinion, i would NEVER run those msi windows utilities. they may be causing you a problem with stability. i use speedfan from almico to monitor temps and i have it set up to generate sound and visual warnings at certain temps. the F1 docs are good. if it were my system, i would go so far as to reinstall windows and format the C: to get rid of core center. i wouldn't even trust the uninstall unless you're good enough to surgically remove it manually.
    also make sure you turn off EIST in the bios. it wont impact your temps significantly. that nvidia nforce sli intel edition has a problem with 14x multiplier and pentiumD. and EIST bumps you down to 14x occaisionally.

  • [nVidia Series] P4N Diamond Motherboard

    I have bought P4N Diamond motherboard previously I have 925XE Platinum motherboard. I had faced problems wih Core Cell & Digi Cell ; the problem was when I installed software for both Core Cell & Digicell my computer freezes & restarts. so I solved that problem by not using both Core Cell & Digicel. Now I am again buying MSI motherboard and want to know that do Core Cell & digicell work this time or I will face the same problem. I had installed Windows XP (Professional) operating system & will install same operating system. Also do SI provides speacial support who buyes Diamond series motherboard?l

    Today, i just build a new computer based on P4N Diamond, and i have tried to install MSI CoreCenter & Digicell software with WinXP SP1 & SP2, it seems nothing happen, it should be ok.
    As to MSI 925XE board, I heard there was the issue that would show "No hardware moniter.." when installing the CoreCenter, but now, the issue has been solved, you can try to directly download the software from their website: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/software/swr/spt_swr_list.php?kind=1
    You can try it . Good Luck!

    .....and some details of my problems:
    The item is not defective. The problem is with SLI technology in general. As it turns out, an SLI computer is strictly a gaming machine and will NOT run normal application software reliably.
    Here are a few examples of application software that will not run:
    Example 1:
    I purchased the MSI ATI Theater 550 Pro TV Tuner. I tested the tuner in a non-SLI computer and it performed at a level of quality well above anything I have ever seen before. I highly recommend this tuner. When I installed the tuner in the SLI system, the Windows Messenger failed to run and produced some really strange error messages (Active Movie errors). An attempt to run CyberLink PowerCinema 3 (the application software bundled with the tuner) will totally freeze Windows XP requiring a re-start.
    Example 2:
    You can forget trying to install CyberLink Power DVD 6. The installation setup will crash producing a “Catastrophic Error” message during the installation.
    Example 3:
    Nero Burning ROM 6 will install and you can burn CDs and DVDs but forget the CD Labeling software. An attempt to perform the following action will crash the application:
    Nero Burning ROM -> File -> Print Disk Cover
    Example 4:
    LiteOn SmartBurn v3.1.10 is a utility that enables a user to identify the manufacturer, maximum recording speed and other parameters of a blank CD or DVD simply by inserting the blank disk in the drive and running the application. This application will produce a, “Memory Access Violation”.
    .... also i can't pull out the memory because 1 have 2X1GB modules.  All of the othe RAM i have is DDR not DDR 2
