915P Neo 2 - Problem with detecting SATA disc

Hi, I wonder if any one can help me with my problem.
I recently, due to a HD crash, bought a new SATA HD for windows and apps. The one that crashed was an IDE drive and my data discs were SATA. When OS was re-installed and up and running I connected my other drives as well. One of them was detected ok after some reboots and tampering with bios settings, mainly SATA configuration and Raid active or not (I have no desire to run RAID but at the time it seemed it was the only way to get both sata-drives and dvd running). I have since then uninstalled the RAID config tool etc and the SATA 2 drive is still functioning the way I want it to. However, my largest HD, 500GB, will not be detected ok and in Win Explorer I just get the error/information message telling me that the drive is not formated. It is recognized ok by bios and in the device manager in Win.
In the disc manager (if that is the name in english, i have win in different lang) however, the drive is displayed as E: 128GB Working (Active) and the remainder of the space, 350GB as not allocated. Oddly enough, it's pretty much the same limit that was set up for the drive onto which I installed Win XP (which I imagine is connected to not having SP2 from the beginning and Win thereby not detecting the full size of the disc). SP2 was however installed at the time that I plugged in my WD disc (and it had content on it before the initial HD failure of my previous disc on which I had Win XP installed.
Since it was a bit of a hazzle before I got the SATA 2 drive to work, by fiddeling about in the bios, maybe it can be something similair to get SATA 3 drive to be properly detected?
Any tips on how to proceed in order to get my system back the way it was, would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Well, it wasn't delivered with one attached and I haven't used one previously (when it was functioning), but I've seen on the forum at WD that there is possibility to set a jumper that limits the transfer rate to 150MB/s ("This will cause second generation Serial ATA hard drives to revert to a 150MB/s transfer rate limitation"). Would that be it you mean?

Problems with detecting SATA hdd's with K7N2G-ILSR mainboard

The K7N2G-ILSR has built in Promise PDC20376 Raid Controller, and I have bought a Promise 4-Channels SATA II Controller PCI card.
The problem is if I mount disks to my new SATA PCI controller my mainboard SATA controller hangs...
Is there a way to use booth SATA controllers at the same time ore disable the built in SATA controller?
Got one SATA2 DVD-writer and 3 SATA disks.
regards

There is no option to disable the built-in SATA controller in bios.
Have tried moving the PCI-card to another slot, but don't help.
How my PC boots:
1. nVidia Graphic card bootscreen
2. Normal bootscreen (Memory check, IDE check, ...)
3. Promise 4-Channels SATA II Controller PCI card (finds harddisks if connected.)
4. built in Promise PDC20376 Raid Controller (My computer freeze if harddisks are connected to the above SATA2 controller, but keeps booting if they are connected to this controller istead.)
5. WinXP MCE (if my PC don't freeze on step 4.)
Found some info about modding/adjust the bioses on this page, http://www.dstyles.de/bios/
Mabe there is a solution there, to add more options to the bios or enable disabled options.

I have a MacBook Pro that I bought almost a year ago, next day problems with the hard disc that could not be diagnosed by the service, after 3 months they realized it and changed it with a new one, after 3-4 months heated and shut down and dont work anymo

I have a MacBook Pro that I bought almost a year ago, next day problems with the hard disc that could not be diagnosed by the service, after 3 months they realized it and changed it with a new one, after 3-4 months heated and shut down by itself and dont work anymore. From apple say even a year has not passed it is not under garancy and I should pay to fix it without ans issue.

Msi k9n with 2 sata disc in strip and a plextor sata burner connected

can all msi k9n motherboards run with 2 sata disc in astripe and a plextor sata dvd burner connected to the sata connectors ?
I think on following msi boards :

A onboard satacontroller until now controls a pair of sata ports on NF4 and older.
So with 4 ports native , there is two controllers aka' you enable raid pr. controller as in sata1/2 , sata 3/4 .
NF570 looks different from NF4 (atleast in the MSI K9N bios) in that way that you can include pr port eg.
SATA0 Primary =Raid Enabled - SATA0 Secondary=Raid Enabled - SATA1 Primary=Raid Enabled - SATA1 Secondary=Disabled , and so on .
Why must you absolutely have sata burner , it's nothing gained over a IDE type in the matter of speed .
Even 16X DVD doesn't utilize 33MB/s that Ultra DMA2 is currently at for IDE burners .
16X DVD utilize 21MB/s , 54X CDR utilize 8MB/s , so no one needs burners at a sata controller.
But anyway , a silicon Image or a Promise PCI controller board should work .
CDR / DVDR read&write speed:

P35 Neo-fi Problem with ATA/100 HDD

Hi bought a new systems a few days ago and I cant get the harddrive to work properly.
When trying to install either linux or windows no HDD can be found. But my bios detects the drive
right after the biosgraphicscreen.
This is my System:
MB: MSI P35 NEO-FI
CPU: INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q6600 2.4GHZ 8MB
MEM: CORSAIR 2GB DDR2 PC6400 XMS2 XTREME (2X1GB)
GRA: XFX GEFORCE 8800GTS 512MB PCI-E
DVD: SAMSUNG DVD±R/RW/RAM SATA
HDD: WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR SE16 500GB ATA/100 16MB
Any suggestions?
So the problem is that I cant install any OS since the HDD cant be found by OS.
Thanks!

The IDE port belongs to the Marvell Controller. There are no special Marvell drivers available.
sjosidan, which drivers did you try to integrate at the beginning of Windows Setup (F6+Floppy). If you have a P35 Neo - board (MS-7360 PCB v1.0) there is no need to integrate any drivers during setup. In this sense, every driver you try to integrate is the wrong driver.
I know you said, that the problem is the same with Windows XP and Linux. However, let's focus on Windows XP for now when it comes to OS Installation.
Does the XP Install-CD you are using include Service Pack 2?
Which BIOS-Version are you currently using? (It should be displayed on the POST Screen (A7360IMS v1.??))
The Bios version is 1.1.0.
I dont have a sp2 disc Ive read some similar posts on the forum and I think it will work with the sp2 disc.
During my reading on this forum I've come to the conclusion that in order to install a linux system supporting IDE I first have to install Xp sp2 and then flash bios. Before installing a linux dist. Is this correct?
I ordered a new SATA disc yesterday it arrives tomorrow so then I won't have a problem, I'll be using the IDE disc in my server instead.

XP install problem with Maxtor SATA

I installed XP Pro on an older 4gig IDE drive first, everything booted fine and worked great. However when I received my Maxtor 250 gig SATA I cannot install XP on it. The problem is that I copy all the necessary files onto the drive and when XP reboots to get into Windows the first time, it hangs or goes into a reboot loop. All I get is a blank screen, no error messages. I followed the "single SATA drive" procedures setting the drive up as a single array as well as just not loading the RAID drivers at all. Both give the same result. Also tried switching the SATA connections between 3 and 4. Is this a power supply problem, as it only has 18a on the 12 volt? The Maxtor drive is detected and installs when booting the 4gig IDE into windows. Any ideas?
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
Kingston 3200 HyperX
Maxtor 250GB SATA
Athlon 64 3000
Thermaltake 410W
NEC 2510 DVDRW

I had similar problems when I setup my system.
I got a WD 120 GB SATA. I have XP Home upgrade CD. I was using a Sony DVD-ROM. I have built and re-built my older systems using my XP Home CD and never had a problem (and using a DVD-ROM).
But with my SATA drive I got errors that some files could not be copied to the hard drive. Windows would say press "Enter" to try again and then after a few "enters" it would then copy the file and continue. It would stop about 4 times with this problem. All files eventually copied, but then Windows would fail duing setup. Sometimes a BSOD...sometimes Windows setup would say it had encountered an error and could not continue.
I tried 60 GB partition...80 GB partition.....one time it could not read the drivers from the floppy disk and I had to make a new one.
I tried everything. Took out my X800 and put in a TI4200. Tried different RAM.
When I (accidently) formatted the HD for one partition (the full 120 GB) it worked perfectly.
I am still not sure what the problem really was..I wish I knew. But once I got Windows up and running and updated, my system has been rock solid stable.

[SOLVED] Problem with second SATA drive

My laptop has two hard drive bays, and just recently I added a second SATA drive (moved it from my old laptop) to the extra bay.
Now, anytime the second hard drive /dev/sdb has any heavy disk activity, it appears to cause a shutdown of the SATA port for the first drive (/dev/sda)! Though the second drive is still fine, and I can still write to it until the system crashes from the root drive (on /dev/sda) being shutdown.
If I don't mount and use the second drive, the first drive works just fine, and I can pound it with traffic without issue.
I can reproduce this problem by copying large amounts of data to drive 2.
This is when I get in my dmesg when the first SATA drive shuts down:

I have experimented, and found that if I turn off NCQ on the kernel command line in my bootloader (libata.force=noncq), that it takes longer before the problem occurs. Though, if I write enough to the second drive, it does still happen after a while, just greatly reduced its chances of happening.
Is it possible that the old drive (sdb) is causing the problem? I noticed that it is much noisier than I remember when the drive head moves around.
Another curiosity while I was trying to duplicate the problem:
- I start a large file copy from sda -> sdb
- At the same time in another terminal, I do "find / -print"
- When I hear the drive 2 head moving, it pauses the output of the "find" command.
Every time I hear the head move, I see the find output pause. Its almost like the drive seek on drive 2 causes the whole Sata controller to pause while the head moves. Very odd!
Anyone have any ideas? I think the next thing I will try is borrow a drive from another machine, and do the big write to it to see if I get the same results.
If it is of any help, here is some more info on the laptop:

It appears my drive one really is failing. It was the first drive and not the second making the loud head seek sound. I borrowed another drive from a friend, and copied my drive one to it. No problems with the new drive in place.

Problems with set up disc after upgrading hard drive

I am having problems starting up my Macbook after upgrading the hard drive from 80GB to 160GB. The new hd is SATA, a WDScorpio. The pins on the end look the same, and I've had no problem with the physical install. When I go to start up the Macbook, I get a gray screen and the "flashing manila file w/a question mark" icon. I load the disc while holding down the "C" key, and all that happens is the disc gets ejected. What am I doing wrong? I also have my hd backed up w/time machine in an external hd. Any ideas?

Turns out, my problem is a malfunctioning optical drive. My Macbook couldn't read the set up disc. This is the second time in a week that I have had this Macbook into the apple store for warranty repair work. Last week, It was a defective VGcable. Each trip to the Applestore is 115 miles round trip from where I live. I tried to get Apple to give me a new computer, but no dice. I even had a district manager in Boise Idaho hang up on me. It's too bad when they know they have a product which everyone loves, and wants to use. They can set the terms. How many things must go wrong before they just replace the @#$# thing? I bought the Macbook Feb 12th, so it's not that old. I have handled it with the utmost care. Anyway, I've tasted the forbidden fruit, and will continue to use Apple products. Thanks for your help. I'll probably have a much easier time with a computer that works. (knock on wood)

MOVED: Problem with Marvell SATA III ports

This topic has been moved to Intel Core-iX boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=143558.0

Quote
The problem appears to be the drive (WD WD1002FAEX 1TB).
It is a firmware issue with the HDD (or the drive itself is faulty). WD may have a fix for it. Your revision is possibly a 01 series, & the 05 series work fine. I will search for the thread with the exact revisions details & edit my post with it.
Quote
They found that there are two versions of WD1002FAEX in the market. They are with firmware version either 01.01v01 or 05.01D05. The Marvell chipset can detect SATA III (6Gb/s) for the WD1002FAEX with 05.01D05 but only 3Gb/s for WD1002FAEX with 01.01v01.

Sometimes cannot start PC: problem with Hitachi SATA Hard drive and K7N2G-ILSR

I have major problem with my 160Gb SATA Hitachi hard drive and my MSI K7N2G-ILSR motherboard. Sometimes the PC can be started, sometimes it cannot.
After I installed a clean build of Windows XP Pro SP1 onto my new hard drive (as the only hard drive in my PC) and install all the necessary drivers, the system runs smoothly. However, after about 2 to 3 weeks, sometimes when I start the PC, it cannot detect the hard drive and hence it claimes that it cannot find any VMI Pool Data (i.e. no OS detected). What makes it really horrible is that, it is like the lottery everytime when I start the PC. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The highest record was 8 consecutive failures (by resetting or by turning the power off and on again) before I can start the machine properly. Also, the system sometimes just crashes in the middle of operating.
I have already sent the hard drive back to Hitachi. Got the same model of hard drive back as replacement, but the replacement has the same problem, except with the replacement drive the PC can be started eventually after many tries, while with the previous drive it is possible that the PC cannot be started until after a few days later.
Also, it seems that my drive can detect either SATA hard drive or PATA hard drive, but not both. (If I leave my old PATA drive connect in the primary IDE channel, Windows cannot detect the new SATA drive.)
Is my motherboard faulty? Can it only use PATA drive?
My PC's spec is as follows:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
512Mb PC3200 SDRAM (set to run at 166MHz)
Hitachi 160Gb SATA Hard drive on 1st SATA channel (Model #HDS722516VLSA80)
Sony DVD+-RW drive and Panasonic DVD-ROM drive on secondary IDE channel
Use onboard video (GeForce MX)
US Robotech V92 internal PCI modem
SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Player soundcard
Onboard audio disabled
300W PSU
OS is Windows XP Pro SP1 (with all latest security patches up to date)

that is not entirly correct.
many harddrives just come with different ways to connect them.
the only sata drives i now that spins faster is western digital raptors 10k rpm.
all other is running at 7200rpm.
older drives run at 5400rpm
Yes to get the full benefit of RAID, the Raptors are the way to go.Anything else, no significant difference.

2 problems with detecting wifi on my Macbook

I'm having two weird wireless network problems on my Macbook Pro 15" and so far I haven't been able to find the cause.
I have this home wifi network that's been running perfectly for ages. The problem is my Mac seems to be unable to detect the network. No matter how many times I refresh or even restart, it doesn't work. But, when I move my Mac to a certain spot in the house (strange enough quite close to the walls and quite far from the wifi) and refresh a few times, suddenly I can detect it. And as soon as I'm connected, I can move my Mac around anywhere in the house without loosing connection, keeping it at full speed with all bars filled. All other users seem to be able to connect fine (they're all using a PC though) so there has to be something wrong with the Mac itself. I think it has nothing to do with the distance to the wireless router, since it's just in the next room.
Then I have this second problem. Detecting and connecting to the network at my campus works fine, none of the problems described above. But as soon as I put the Mac to sleep and start it up again, the connection is gone and I can't detect it anymore. Unless I reboot the Mac, then everything works fine again. Now this certainly has nothing to do with the distance between my Mac because the wireless router is 2m away from me, right in my room. Other users don't seem to have this problem, some of them using Mac and some using a PC.
I hope somebody can figure this out. It's not that I'm completely blocked from working, but it's pretty annoying.

875P NEO FIS2R problems with booting at power-up

Having problems with booting at power-up.
Recently, with no apparent modification to system - at power up the system will often not boot. About 80% of time systems seems to go into a loop with CD/DVD drive light blinking a few times, then the floppy drive light comes on and can hear the FDD run – within 30 seconds or so, this process starts over again. Power switch LED is on and HDD LED is on (continuously). All fans are running (power supply fan, case fan, CPU fan and Intel Canterwood 875 fan ).
Monitor power on light is in power save mode (amber) when system does not boot. When boot is successful the monitor power light turns green immediately.
After pressing the reset button several times (varies between pressing reset button 1 time to 30 or more times) system will then boot OK or go into set up.
Once running there is no apparent problem.
This mainboard comes with D Bracket containing 2 USB 2.0 ports, and 4 diagnostics LEDs - when boot problem occurs the diagnostic LEDs, give a code that in the MSI mainboard manual states “Initializing Keyboard Controller” and diagnostic LEDs stays in this mode until via reset button provides a successful boot and start up.
Have reseated all connectors.
SYSTEM
Mainboard – MSI 875P Neo FIS2R (MSI 6758)

jumperless if alone on ide
jumpered master /slave if two on it
No, second 40GB HDD was installed months before this issue started and is jumpered as slave drive. Also, no other additional hardware installed for several months before issue.

Problem with detecting USB devices.. something abt ehci-hcd??

Hi All,
I have a DELL E6410 laptop. I have a problem with connecting USB devices.
Whenever a power event (such as connecting/disconnecting of AC adaptor) happens, my laptop stops detecting any USB devices and any changes that happen on the USB ports. That is, say an external mouse is connected to the laptop, the mouse stops functioning, and if I connect a mouse/USB_stick or any such thing to the computer, the device is not detected.
dmesg output show that any connecting/disconnecting events are not detected by the computer. lsusb output too shows the same thing.
To solve the problem, I need to rmmod the module ehci-hcd and modprobe it back. That is, I have to run the commands rmmod ehci-hcd followed by modprobe ehci-hcd. Then, this problem goes away until the next power event happens.
This event does not happen all the time, but it happens very regularly.
Here are the kernel and laptop specs..

Linux myhost 3.0-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Aug 30 08:53:25 CEST 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 520 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Kindly help me on this issue.
Thanks

This is the output of kernel.log when I unplug my AC adaptor with the external USB mouse connected.

After this the the mouse goes dead (the light on the mouse also goes off).
If I disconnect the mouse at this stage, there is no change in kernel.log. If I the mouse back too, there is no change in kernel.log.
Now, when I turn the AC adaptor on, this is the output on kernel.log

At this point, the mouse comes back to life (its light begins to glow) and I can move the mouse pointer on the screen.
The output of the grep command that rwd gave is too big (16000 lines) to be pasted here..
Thanks,

[845 Series] mb msi 848p neo-v problems with sound card

Since I've bought my new MB, I'm experiancing some problems with my sound card. WinAmp and MusicMatch Jukebox ( any version) does not support 5.1 sound system, but playing in stereo system. The soundcard AC97 is OK, cause Winows Media Player is working properly.Does anyone had such problem and solved it?
I must say that I've already used MSI MB, and all APPs worked properly with the same sound card. The difference is that my ex MB was based on old Intel processors, but not Presscot based as this one.

Have you installed the latest driver to
the Realtec soundchip(ALC 655)?

PT880 Neo-LSR: Problem with intel P4 2.8c 800 mhz!

I have plug my P4 2.8c 800mhz into my PT880, take 45 seconds before boot, after I got "CMOS settings wrong". I change setting and motherboard don't boot, I can just erase cmos for boot again. I have change my setting 15 times and I have boot from OS 0 time. Can you help me?

Well the Easiestway to Insert a Previous Thread into your POST is to Open the Thread that you want to include in your Current POST and Just Right Click the Mouse up at the URL (At the Top of the Page) and just Click Copy, and then Hit Paste where you want it inserted in the Current POST that you are Replying in, And it will add the URL Automatically, as Long as you have the Option Enabled in your Forum User Control Panel, (Which I think it is By Dafault)...But as Far as this "2.8 Northwood P4, with the SL6Z5" Code Being the Complete Issue, and If it is ALL Manufacturers, VIA Based PT-880's or if this is Just a MSI Problem I Have to Investigate Further .....Has Anyone come acroos this Problem with any other Board? And is there any Mention of this on INTEL's Webpage?.....And has Anyone Tried to See if the Utility "BOOTVIS" can Help with this Problem?.And Have you Tried to Use any Other type of Memory?..Especially Mem. That is NOT ECC?...And do you have Quick Boot ENABLED in the BIOS?.............Sean REILLY875
