925XE Neo Upgrade to VISTA

Hi
I have a 925XE Neo mainboard and TD256E RX800 Graphics card and I am preparing to upgrade to Vista Ultimate. I run a pair of Sata HDDs using the Intel RAID controller as a mirrored pair.
Is there anything I need to do before insertting the Vista DVD and hoping for the best. Like upgrade to a particluar BIOS for either the mianboard or the graphics card. I read that there are problems with the RAID drivers is there something specific needed?
I see a download area for the 925X Neo but not the XE - is there any difference?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Best regards
Rob

Hi,
You may need the Intel RAID driver on floppy or CD before install Vista.  The same driver for XP can be used for Vista.  You will be able to see the harddisk after installing the driver. Otherwise, the harddisk will not appear as part of the selection for Vista to install.  I did a clean install rather than upgrade and this is the observation I have seen during instaling Vista on my 875P.

  • [925 Series] msi 925xe neo platinum issue

    dear guys
    i have just assembled my pc with the above-mentioned board but noted discrepancies with other 925-based boards when benchmarkings are performed. I understood that the same problem also occured with msi 915-based board but all seem to resolve with a bios update. When benchmarking are done with pc mark 2004, my ram marks only hit somewhere around 4700-4800, and cpu benchmarkings also are a bit low as compared to other boards with sisoft sandra 2005. Is MSI working on that or i just have to accept all this issues?
    thanks in advance
    btw, my pc specs: P4 2.8 GHz (FSB 800 HT-enabled), MSI 925xe neo platinum, A-Data DDR II 533 256 MB x2, Seagate 80GBs NCQ HDDs x2 as RAID 0, and Maxtor 80 GB SATA as RAID 0 and Optical drives.

    I don't think it's the motherboard fault and its most likely due to the OS and hard drives. I had the same problem when I installed windows 98 and upgraded to windows 2000. I created a slipstreamed windows 2000 CD and installed windows 2000 from scratch and my problems stopped. Originally I was getting scores in 3D Mark 2005 of 4300-4800 and that was the graphics score. After installing windows using the slipstreamed CD I was getting scores of 5600. I think it was a SATA drive issue, which slowed down system and stopped it working as it should. Though you probably have windows xp installed from scratch I thought I would say this anyway as it kind of is relevant even though it's your CPU and RAM you're having trouble with.
    You could try changing SATA ports or updating the drivers for the controllers if it's the SATA dirve to blame though I am sure other people will prove me wrong.
    Is the CPU showing up at the speed it's supposed to?

  • K8N Neo MS-7030 Vista drivers

    This is my first thread here, and I have a problem with my K8N Neo MS-7030 754 Mobo. I cant get my USB port to work at high speed, Vista won't let me use a Kingston 2GB USB for Readyboost, ( stick is optimized for Readyboost). Also cant use MSI mobo utilities, no driver found. Will there be updates for Vista driver for this board? Running AMD Athlon64 3700+, Nvidia 6800 agp, 2GB Corsair XMS DDR400, 400w Ultra PSU, LG DVD lightscribe, Lite On CD burner, seagate 80GB 7200 rpm HDD, floppy drive, Diamond 7.1 sound card, Vista Home Premium OS. New to system building, this is my first PC, trying to figure the driver issue out. Thanks.......By the way, does anyone know how I can get a MSI USB D-Bracket W/4 led read out, and the accessories for this mobo, like cables, CD, etc.

    You have to wait for drivers to get released, very few are.
    You're not the only one, many people complain about the same problems.
    I just bought this board (MSI K8N Neo V2.0 H (MS-7030) NF3-250 Socket 754 ATX Motherboard), and expect it from Fedex any minute. I'd heard (in a thread at Anandtech Forums, where I first heard about this board - http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=40&threadid=2019857&f that nVidia was not going to support Vista with this board, and I'd assumed that it was an across the board thing with nforce 3 boards, but I may have been wrong to make that assumption. So, seeing this thread has raised my eyebrows and now I am wondering if I do indeed have to give up the idea of upgrading to Vista with this motherboard. What is the truth here? Has nVidia recently declared their non-support, or did I dream that up?

  • Can't print from IE 8 after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7

    My laptop (HP Elitebook 8530w) uses two HP printers: Color LaserJet CP3525x (at work) and Deskjet 6940 (at home). Both printers are accessed across a local network.
    I recently upgraded from Vista Enterprise to Windows 7 Enterprise.
    Everything still prints fine (from Word, Adobe Reader, Windows Photo Viewer, etc.), except for IE 8! When I try to print a web page from IE, it prints only the page header, and otherwise the sheet is empty. This symptom occurs on both printers. (And of course this worked fine before the upgrade.)
    Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

    Specifically, the following steps solved the problem:

    2. From a command prompt, issue this command:  ICACLS C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\Low /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

  • Satellite A500 - Upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 error

    I'm trying to upgrade my Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium via the Toshiba Upgrade Assistance so it will automatically download some Toshiba's utilites and software. At the start of launching it, an error message "This model does not support upgrade to Windows 7" at the 'Download Window 7 Component List' step and can't continue. I'm confused as this as the Win7 Upgrade disc that I purchased and recieved at the start of the year from Toshiba website. I have a Satellite A500 that i've purchased late last year. It's not an old model and I believe it was able to upgrade to window 7.
    I had managed to do a clean installation once a while back but realised all the Toshiba's things weren't there no more so then I recovered it back to Vista (but instead of the initial 32bit, I've changed it to 64bit). So now it's operating on a 64bit Vista.
    I'm not sure if changing it from 32bit to 64bit has anything to do with it or if there's something I need to install before I upgrade....I followed the steps on the Toshiba website to upgrade but stuck at this step. I'm not good with computers so much help would be greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance.

    As far as I know with this upgrade kit you can upgrade 32bit and also 64bit system so this is definitely not the problem.
    Toshiba upgrade kit has two medias. Upgrade DVD and so called composite disc that contains drivers and Toshiba tools and utilities. Upgrade must be started with this composite disc and not directly with upgrade DVD.
    Please start upgrade with software disc and just follow the menu on the screen. It will scan the system and offer the list which software must be removed from the system before upgrade installation can be started.

  • Since I upgraded Windows Vista to Windows 7 iTunes only works in Windows 7 "Safe Mode".

    Since I upgraded Windows Vista to Windows 7 iTunes only works in Windows 7 "Safe Mode". it will not run in the normal mode. (It ran properly in Vista)  I spent several hours with the Microsoft Technician going through the "1717 suggestions, but to no avail.  On my own, I tried iTunes in Windows 7 "Safe Mode" and was successful!  It ran like a charm.  Unfortunately, I can't run iTunes properly in "Safe Mode"  I have not tried moving one set of the files yet.  But if iTunes works in Safe Mode, do I need to relocate anything or do I need to find what is causing the conflict between Windows 7 and iTunes?

    Which Satellite A205?
    Which Windows 7 (64-bit)? What about the other laptop?
    Which printer model, version, and so forth?

  • HP not honoring free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

    When I purchased my machine in February 09 with Vista home edition I was promised on the web site and by the sales clerk that I would receive a free upgrade to Windows 7. Now I am told that only machines purchased after June 09 will qualify. I am furious and will not settle for this. Does anyone else have this issue.

    Look you might have understood them wrong or you're saying something that they didn't say. They might have told you that there is going to be a free upgrade program for Windows 7 closer to when Windows 7 launches and thought you could get it when you bought it or you just want to accuse HP that they said that you would have the W7 Upgrade for free so you can get the upgrade. You should have looked for an official confirmation from Microsoft for the free upgrade from vista to W7, http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/06/25/announcing-the-windows-7-upgrade-option-program-amp-windows-7-pricing-bring-on-ga.aspx This link was released on June 25, 2009 and officially says that the free upgrade program was going to start on June 26, 2009 and this is directly form the Windows Blog. You made a mistake of listening to people and not looking for the official Microsoft Announcement. Your out of luck. Microsoft did this with xp to vista when vista came out and it was around the same months as vista to W7, so you should have also looked for past free upgrade. On February, Windows 7 date hasn't even been announced and the beta was still in progress as posted here on February 2009 http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/01/23/general-availability-for-the-windows-7-beta-to-end.aspx   So this goes back to the top, you should have looked at past free upgrades like xp to vista to check how many months before they will start the free upgrade program.

  • Satellite P200-17C - Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

    Am looking to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, anybody done this? And was thier any problems with drivers etc?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I dont know what you want to hear now exactly but you can download all drivers here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    As far as I know this P200 model belongs to the PSPB6 series.
    Therefore it seems that all drivers available for Windows 7 32bit.
    Generally about Vista and Windows 7 I can say that new OS runs much faster and never had a problem as yet. I can recommend it! :)

  • How to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7?

    I recently bought the upgrade version of Windows 7 utimate for my laptop, my laptop is new and Windows Vista pre-installed. I would like to know if I upgrade Windows 7 from this "Fresh", pre-installed vista, would this Windows 7 operate as good as the clean installed Windows 7?
    I am not very clear how Vista upgrades to Windows 7, do Windows 7 upgrades based on the old Vista system? Or it will install a clean and new Windows 7 then only copy all the settings and programmes from old Vista?

    Hi
    Can you please tell us what Toshiba notebook you have exactly and what Vista version you have exactly (Home, Business, etc. and 32bit/64bit)?
    Theoretically you can upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 but it must be same version. That means its only possible to upgrade from 32bit to 32bit and 64bit to 64bit.
    If you want to upgrade you have to insert this disc and follow the screen instructions, thats all.

  • Pre7 after upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 (Ultimate 64bit)

    I recently upgraded my Vista Ultimate (64bit) computer to Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit).  This was an upgrade, not a clean, fresh install.  Today is the first time I have tried to run PRE7 under Windows 7.  Prior to the upgrade, I had no problems to speak of with PRE7 and the PhotoShop.com Plus account that I set up with it.  Now whenever I start PRE7 under Windows 7, I get the "Install Full Content" dialog informing me that a reduced set of content has been installed and that I need to install the full set of content from the installation DVD.  Now believe me when I say that the full set of content was installed under Vista and that I never got such a dialog box prior to Windows 7.  In addition, after clicking OK to continue, the PhotoShop.com membership did not log on automatically as I am used to it doing.  I don't remember exactly now what I had to do, but to the best of my recollection, after I logged on to my account it was telling me that I needed to verify my account, which I did.  I subsequently received an email with a verification link in it.  After clicking on the link my account was verified and now when I start PRE7, it automatically logs me on to my PhotoShop.com account, as I am used to it doing.  I still get the "Install Full Content" dialog, though.  I thought I would ask in this forum if anyone else has experienced these two anomalous behaviors after ungrading to Windows 7, before I attempt to go thorough the motions of actually reinstalling the full content, which should not actually be necessary.
    Thank you,
    Charles Lawrence

    Why it's happening is a mystery. My guess would be that the upgrade in the OS is part of the problem, but that is just a guess. Some have reported that Win7 does the upgrade thing better than any previous OS, but others report all sorts of odd problems, when doing it this way.
    If you have the DVD, then I'd try a Repair Install, to see if it picks up the Functional Content.
    Otherwise, I am at a loss as to why, when you upgraded your OS, PrE 7 lost the link to that material.
    Good luck,
