[Athlon64] RS480M2-IL, Can I change SATA drivers?

The performance is really slow using just a SATA drive in Windows XP. Can I swap out the ATI SATA driver with a Silicon Image Driver?

ATI driver is a version of the Silicon 3x12 driver. I was wondering if I could use an update Silicon Image driver. thats all.

  • Can SATA drivers be loaded in windows????

    Hi,
    I forgot to click on F6 when loading windows XP to install my SATA drives.  How can that be done now that XP has been installed? 
    I also have drive letters all over the place.  HD1 is I and HD2 is J.  I think I can change them in system maint.
    Thanks,
    Swen

    Hello Swen,
    Glad to see you made it back to this forum after the database program they experienced last night. Tried to send you a personal message this morning but you were not even in the database anymore. Hope you got my last message.
    You do not need to install SATA drivers with F6 during windows installation. The F6 step described in your manual is only needed if you intend to install your operating system to a SATA drive or a RAID set up. If your operating system is being install to IDE drive then your SATA driver can be installed later on after you  got windows on board as part of the Nvidia 5.10 drivers package. If you are really intending to install your operating system to a SATA drive then go to this thread: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=76886.0
    If not, you will have windows XP set up, goto device manager  and then left click on + sign in front of "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" & then right click on "Nvidia nForce4 Serial ATA controller" & then select properties. In the new windows that opened select the driver tab. This will list what you have installed as a SATA driver.
    Whatever you do make sure that you get the latest Nvidia 5.10 drivers package from the Nvidia site itself. I believe that MSI site still only offers version 5.03.
    For your drive letter question simply click on start and then "Help and Support". When help and support windowns opens up, type this in the search window and then press the search arrow: "assign change or remove a drive letter". You can then look at the left hand result window and select "assign change or remove a drive letter". The right hand pane will now offer you two methods to use to proceed:
    1- Windows interface
    2- Command lines
    How is your daughter's system coming along?

  • Portege R600 - where can I find the correct SATA drivers?

    I wish to install a solid state drive, and to maintain XP. Setting the correct partition alignment in the SSD and electromechanically installing it are now easy, but there is apparently a SATA driver problem because I cannot boot to either the Toshiba restore disk, a new XP install disk, or an image of the original HDD.
    Some have suggested using nlite to slipstream the correct SATA drivers into the XP install, and then beginning from scratch with all app installations, etc.
    When I look at the laptop's Devices, I find the Toshiba MK1652GSX HDD, drivers for which appear at
    C:\WINDOWS\system21\DRIVERS - then
    PartMgr.sys, pssnap.sys, and thpdrv.sys
    Is that what nlite needs?
    Is there another source for the SATA drivers for this laptop?
    Thanks!

    Hi, This is my very first letter in this community, so have me excused, if I use it wrong..I reply to the asking for SATA-drivers to R600, nor because I have a solution, but to ask for help myself in a matter much alike: I bought a r600, whishing to downgrade to XP. Unfortunately I did not recieve the XP-downgrade CD together with the Laptop, and now I simply can not get connection to the harddisk, when trying to install XP with a standard XP-boot installCD, even I read about and tried severel INTEL floppy images with Sata-drivers to impose during start of boot with the F6-command: They simply do not work!!
    My question; Do ANY that read me in this community have a such XPdowngrade-CD from their puchase of the portege r600 that they do not use, AND WILL BE WILLING TO SELL TO ME ? Message with offer through my home mail? cheers, Niel, Aarhus, Denmark

  • Using a garmin sat nav device, when planning a route on the mac it always defaults to the same far away location as the starting point. How can I change this?

    Whenever I start route planning using Garmin Connect, the map opens at the same distant location every time, by default. How can I change this and make it open at my own location?

    Hello Cgifford,
    Welcome to National Instruments Forums.
    To output your signal to the PFI lines,
    you can use external connectios between OUT0 and PFI lines. You can also use
    the backplane to do so by routing into the same RTSI line.
    1)
    On the SCOPE and FGEN, the name of the
    terminals are actually “PXI Trigger Line x/RTSIx” but on the 6602 you might
    need to route the signal using the property:
    You can also use the DAQmx route signal which perform the same opperation.
    2)
    This will depend on the frequency of
    your pulse train. If this is lower than about 10 ms, then you can probably
    place this on a loop and start and stop the acquisition every time. If the
    frequency is higher than this, you will have to use:
    -       Scripting on the FGEN side (read more)
    -       MultiRecord Fetch (more information in the scope help file
    section “Acquisition Functions Reading versus Fetching”).
    3)
    The short answer is yes. The longer one
    might depend on how tight you need the synchronization to be (us, ns, ps). For
    very tight synchronization, you should look into here.

  • [Athlon64] SATA drivers for Windows Vista!!

    Hi there
    Does anyone know how and when MSI will release SATA drivers compatible with Windows Vista 64?
    The ones provided for XP 64 dont work 
    Please help 

    People, Windows Vista is only in a first beta-testing state. It's not officially released to the main public. I don't know if you guys signed up for the beta-testing group at Microsoft ... if you did: you should ask them for help or give feedback on the fact that these drivers aren't there in the beta-release! 
    You cannot expect MSI to release these drivers already, since this beta has been out for only a couple of days. I think that people at MSI, VIA, etc. are using this release to write the aproppriate drivers!

  • How to change SATA disk controller on Toshiba Satellite A135 s2276

    Hello guys, I know that there was a similar question already (kindly answered by Mike), but my situation differs a little.
    I'm trying to install the SSD intead of my hard drive.
    Problem is that even though BIOS can see the SSD I cannot install Windows on it (tried XP and 7). Cannot even format it from installation disk (it just hangs).
    When I hook it up on a usb cable, it works fine (SSD). I can format it (from windows) and copy files on it like and external drive it doesn't have any issues.
    When I try to install windows on it (either from a CD or usb) it hangs. The same situation is if I try to install the system when the SSD is in usb port or if I put it inside, where my hard drive originally is (SATA connection). It just seets there. Comes to copying files and then stops.
    I think I'd need to change the SATA disk controller in BIOS (sata to ide or compatibility mode) in order for it to work, however there's no such an option in the latest BIOS for this model (1.60).
    Any help appreciated, thanks Miki
    ps. update - I succesfully installed windows on another Toshiba (which has the option to change the sata controller in bios), using the same SSD so I think this is definitely the problem. Any ideas apart from buying a newer comp?

    Hi
    If such option is NOT available in BIOS then you will be no able to change this!!!
    In such case the HDD controller will say in SATA mode and if you want to install an operating system then you need to install the SATA drivers firstly!
    Bye

  • Equium P200-1ED Installing Windows XP Problem - SATA Drivers

    I have just bought a Toshiba Equium P200-1ED laptop with Vista installed and want to install my copy of Windows XP Pro. This is the latest disc with SP2 included.
    When I boot up it does not recognise the hard drive. I assume I need to download these drivers and load them onto a floppy and hit F6 when the windows setup screen prompts me to do so.
    Questions are;
    1) Where can I get these drivers from?
    2) Will the machine recognise a USB floppy Drive?
    3) Am I right about what I need to do?
    Thanks in advance for your help. :8}

    How to install XP Home on the following Vista laptop. 05/01/08
    Toshiba Equium A200-1V0 PSAF5E
    Introduction
    These are the steps taken by us to remove Vista from our Toshiba laptop and replace it with XP Home. There may be inconsistencies in our methods and we may not have all of the exact drivers installed, but everything appears to work OK for us.
    Our laptop now runs much faster, opens and closes faster and is more stable.
    This is not a 5 minute operation. It should not be attempted by anyone with only a passing knowledge of computers as it is very easy to screw things up. The shop you bought your PC from will charge a lot to fix things and they will probably insist on re-installing Vista!!.
    Be prepared that this will also probably invalidate your warranty.
    Luckily, I have a 2nd PC running XP that allows me to access the web. This is very useful as it means that while your Vista machine is 'broken' you can still search for help and download driver files. I also used my 2nd PC to create the modified XP installation CD mentioned further on.
    You must have access to the web via some PC or other to get the required drivers.
    Method
    Firstly, while you still have Vista on your laptop machine, download and run an interrogation program such as 'Belarc advisor' which will list all the drivers and software that are installed on your laptop. Print it out for future reference.This may be useful later when searching on the web for any drivers that may need updating.
    Now, make sure you have noted down all the required settings for your Internet connection.
    Also, backup any files that you may have placed on the hard drive as you will lose the lot including any emails and address books and web favourites etc.
    Unfortunately, the Toshiba disc that comes with this laptop does not appear to have any of the required drivers with it. Instead, I think that it relies on Vista keeping copies on your hard drive. This is not very bright as when the hard drive fails you have lost everything!
    This therefore means that you have to go on the web and search for all the required drivers to run XP successfully.
    Some we could not find, for example the Wireless network adapter, however this was no problem as once we had installed XP and connected to the web via the Ethernet cable to our Router we were able to run 'Update Driver' for each item missing.
    Go to 'Device Manager' via 'Control Panel' then 'System' then 'Hardware'. Then look for any yellow question marks for any problems. Right click and run 'Update Driver' for the hardware update wizard and allow the PC to look on the web 'this time only'.
    The ones we did this way were: Wireless adapter, Audio adapter.
    Unfortunately an original XP SP2 CD does not contain the required drivers for this laptop. Therefore when you boot the CD it will, after a few minutes of installing files, say that you have a hardware problem as there are no drives present.
    To rectify this, you will need to download the correct Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI Controller drivers. I couldn't find this on the Intel website, but instead searched on Google for it. and got it from: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2101
    The other required drivers that we found on the web were:
    Intel chipset device software installer
    Web page
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=816&DwnldID=14528 &strOSs=45&OSFullName=Windows* XP Home Edition&lang=eng
    Or if this link doesn't work try this:
    http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/sb/CS-021273.htm
    Select 'Download Intel chipset software installation utility' on the left hand side and select your operating system 'XP Home'
    Select 'INF Update Utility - primarily for Intel 3, 900 series chipsets'
    and download it.
    Intel graphics driver: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset
    Web page
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=2800&DwnldID=1438 8&strOSs=45&OSFullName=Windows*%20XP%20Home%20Edit ion&lang=eng
    Or if this link doesn't work try this:
    http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/
    Now select 'software and drivers' on the left hand side and select your operating system 'XP Home'
    You will be presented with a list of files.
    Select Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows* XP (exe)
    and download it.
    Marvell Yukon Ethernet Driver
    Web page
    http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=175
    Or if this link doesn't work try this:
    http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do?reload=false
    On the right hand side, select 'W2000/ XP/2003/Vista x86 & x64 Multi-Language Installer (32-bit and 64-bit) for Yukon Devices'
    Creating the XP Drivers disc
    Add the SATA drivers to a copy of your XP install CD using a program such as NLite.
    You will need enough spare hard drive memory to take a copy of your XP install CD (approx 700MB).
    Run the program 'sp37005.exe' and it will install to your hard drive. Don't install to a floppy.
    Download 'NLite' from: http://www.nliteos.com/download.html
    When you run NLite it will probably say that you need to install '.net Framework', if so, quit NLite and go and find the program. This is a Microsoft program that you can find by searching on Google for the relevant page on the Microsoft website.
    Now place your XP install disc in your CD drive, if it autoruns, exit it.
    Then run Nlite and follow on screen instructions.
    The program will ask where your XP disc is then it will ask where you want to save the copy.
    On the 'Task selection' screen select 'Drivers' and 'Bootable ISO'. then press 'Next'.
    Now select 'Insert' then 'Multiple Driver folder' and go and find your downloaded SATA driver files. Now select 'All' and 'OK. The program will list the available SATA drivers. Only select the two that mention 'ICH8M'. Now press 'Next'. The screen will show the selected drivers. Press 'Next' again and then 'Yes' to the prompt, and then 'Next' when done
    You are now presented with the 'Bootable ISO' screen.
    Put a new burnable CD in your CD writer, wait for it to be recognised and exit any window that might pop up to allow you to install files
    Now, in Nlite, under 'Mode' select 'Direct Burn'
    Under 'Label' enter something like ' XP for Toshiba Equium A200' to identify the disc.
    Leave Advanced settings alone and now add in the other required drivers by clicking explore and copying them to the root directory of the temporary XP directory on your hard disc. It might be best to create a 'Drivers' folder in the root directory to make them easy to find later.
    Now click the 'Burn' button. Now follow the rest of the instructions to complete.
    You have now created an XP install disc which contains your required SATA drivers.
    -As you can tell, this is quite convuluted but avoids you having to buy a USB floppy drive and it provides a neat solution.
    Hasta La Vista!!
    Now you are ready to begin the cleansing process, if you are brave enough to continue....
    Firstly, re-boot your laptop and while booting press F12 to change the boot order so that the DVD/CD ROM is first. Alternatively use F2 and then change the Boot order from there.
    Now insert your new XP install disc in the DVD/CD drive and re-boot the PC, selecting boot from CD when prompted.
    The XP CD will now start copying files and eventually will display an options screen
    Select to install Windows.
    Then delete the C: hard drive partition (with Vista on)
    Delete the F drive partition used by Vista also.
    You will have to follow lots of warning prompts to delete the partitions.
    Now follow the instructions to create an NTFS partition on the C drive.
    Now install XP as instructed.
    Don't worry that the graphics are a bit chunky as once Windows has finished installing you can run the graphics driver you copied to the the XP CD to correct this.
    Run the three driver files:
    win2k_xp14311.exe Intel graphics driver
    infinst_autol.exe Intel chipset software installation utility'
    setup.exe Marvell Yukon Ethernet Driver
    Your graphics should now improve and you should now be able to connect to the web (after running the web setup wizard). But don't do this until you have installed your Antivirus and Firewall software.
    Now go to 'Device Manager' via 'Control Panel' then 'System' then 'Hardware'. Then look for any yellow question marks for any problems. Right click and run 'Update Driver' for the hardware update wizard and allow the PC to look on the web 'this time only'.
    Hopefully, everything should now run OK.
    Now go and have a drink to celebrate!

  • Can not change sound output. Help Please

    Well, i've been digging all the forums lately in web. my problem is, i can't change my 'system' sound output to my sound card which is Native Instruments Audio8 Dj.
    Let me explain my problem decently. I do the usual procedure, system preferences > sound > n then select the output. but nothing happens. it is always set on internal speakers or headphone or whatever plugged in to the *Built-in Output*. I try switching from audio-midi setup n that doesn't work as well. The system perfectly recognizes the sound card, i can get output from sound card with applications which have their own output settings. But i cant change the system output. I have the latest version of soundflower loaded(this might be causing the problem who knows), i used many soundcards before(or maybe even ex-drivers?) n they used to work until i updated to snow leopard. I also tried trashing the files in macintosh hd > library > preferences > audio >>
    and those files *did not regenerate* after restart(like 10 times), so i had to copy them from my imac.(hehe). i tried resetting pram or nvram.(didn't do any good too)And also i tried trashing soundpref.plist which didn't do me any good neither. Now i need that sound card to give me my system output. I don't need drivers of any other ex-sound cards or whatever. My drivers are up to date. And im pretty sure this ain't an hardware fail.
    So, any ideas? Thx.

    I am having the exact same problem. I have spoken with Apple Care and they are having my case reviewed by "Engineers," apparently. Its very frustrating as I cannot listen to iTunes or any of my video games through my really nice monitor speakers. FYI, I had this problem without installing Sound Flower, since then I have installed it in the hopes that having something different to select it might work but no changes. If I hear any good news from Apple I will be back to let you know. This seems to be a very rare problem as I have only found one other post about this issue.

  • Can't change MAC address of my wireless card on Windows XP

    Dear Forum Members,
    I have recently bought a notebook, Lenovo IdeaPad G550L (I haven't found section for the G series here on the forum) and would like to use its WiFi adapter (BCM4310 according to Everest) with explicitly changed MAC address. I installed the recommended driver, available from Lenovo's website, version 5.10.38.14. I tried the common way to change the MAC address, went to Control Panel -> Network Interfaces -> Broadcom Wireless Network Adapter -> Configure... -> Advanced -> Locally administered MAC address, and changed it to a different address (without ":" or any separator characters). Unfortunately this common solution won't work at all. Although, no error messages are produced when changing it (so it seems successful) my wireless router shows me the original MAC address of my integrated wifi card. Tried to restart my computer, my router, everything.
    * Tried different drivers, downloaded a driver from HP which had a separate wireless configurator, Broadcom Wireless Utility. It worked like the driver from Lenovo (except this one hasn't got the utility), but I was still unable to change my MAC address.
    * Tried a different driver from SoftPedia, version 5.10.79.14 (this is newer than Lenovo's), it didn't work either.
    * Tried Nathan True's MACShift utility. It seemed to change the MAC address, but my router showed the original, so it didn't.
    * Tried to look for official Broadcom drivers on www.broadcom.com but found nothing for BCM4310.
    * Finally, I booted my alternative OS, the latest Ubuntu Linux, and used the kernel driver b43 for my wireless adapter. I tried to change my MAC address using the command ifconfig wlan0 hw ether .... and connected to my network. It worked, my router showed the changed MAC so the hardware (or the firmware) is capable of doing this by the right driver/firmware.
    I tried to address Broadcom with the issue, sent them a letter like this post they replied that they are not competent, they wrote the following (I guess this was an automatically generated message because it got back in 10 seconds ) from [email protected]:
    "As the chipset supplier, Broadcom provides driver support to our customers - the manufacturers of wireless devices - that ultimately provide products to end customers, such as wireless LAN vendors, cable modem vendors, and notebook providers. It is up to these manufacturers to provide product-specific drivers and software support to their end customers. Please contact the manufacturer of your wireless device for their current drivers"
    Then I addressed Lenovo with the problem, their answer:
    "Dear ******,
    Thank you for contacting Lenovo, the makers of ThinkPad and ThinkCentre products. As I understand, you have purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad G550L and would like to use its WiFi adapter (BCM4310 according to Everest) with explicitly change MAC address.and you would like to know is there an official driver for Windows XP that allows you this basic feature like b43 in Linux. We apologize,Please do speak with our Idea pad technical Team at 877-453-6686 Option 1-2-1-2 for further assistance.
    If you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 866-42-THINK (84465) option number 2. We will be happy to assist at that time.
    Once again, thank you for contacting Lenovo.
    Sincerely,
    Lenovo Websales/CustServe"
    So this means I should call them and spend extra money for phone bill of international calls because of their fault of providing a basic feature that is to be expected from every single wireless card in the market. Should I believe that a guide over the phone is more efficient than a step-by-step solution or a link to an alternative driver? I'm getting kind of disappointed. At least they have understood (or copy-pasted) my problem, dutch comfort though.
    Any ideas? Anyone experienced the same problem and solved it? Is there an official (or even unofficial) driver for this device for Windows XP that allows me this basic feature (like b43 in Linux)?
    Thanks in advance,
    str4ngS

    Yes, I have posted this thread to different forums after I realized that Lenovo "customer care" is not likely to help me out and even wirelessforums.org members couldn't come up with any ideas for days, that's why. I have already written that helper applications like SMAC (or etherchange or macshift) don't work, because they do the same thing in the system as I change it in the driver panel, so they use the same method which simply does not work.
    Locked? Definitely not. If yes, why can I change the MAC of my adapter under Ubuntu Linux using b43 open-source driver if it's really locked? Or you mean it's locked from software, because Lenovo or Broadcom didn't want their users to change their MACs or they just forgot to release a fully-functional driver? Well, then I would like to have a driver in which it's not locked, because this is a basic feature of my adapter of which the hardware is capable.
    I have already contacted Broadcom, see their (automatically-generated) answer in my initial post, but I will try to do that again with more foresight.

  • W500 with ATI Mobility FireGL V5700 -can't change switchable graphics to "High Performanc​e"

    My W500 crashed on me this morning while playing a game, and I ran into a couple blue screens of death.After doing some troubleshooting, I determined that I had an issue with my video card, more specifically that my machine no longer recognizes my ATI Mobility FGL V5700, and only the low quality Intel chipset.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the ATI Catalyst drivers, but that did not work.
    I also tried changing the switchable graphics back to "High Performance", but when I do, the screen goes completely black. If I put my computer to sleep and then wake it back up, the switchable graphics automatically go back to "Energy Saving", and my display works again, of course with the Intel graphics only.
    If reinstalling the drivers doesn't work, and I can't change the graphics back to High Performance mode, does that mean my video card is shot? Any suggestions other than buy a new one or live with the Intel graphics?
    I'd try to contact support but unfortunately my warranty just expired a month ago. Seems like everything breaks within a couple months of the warranty expiring. Grrr.

    I'm having identical issues. After updating the driver through lenovo update utility, i can no longer get the graphic card driver working. I've tried several different drivers, none of them work, and I'm now stuck here with a useless computer while my deadlines come closer and closer. Are there seriously no offical reply to any of these threads?

  • Hard-Drive not Detected load sata drivers

    Hi everyone I have a G6-1189sa notebook, I had a faulty harddrive so replaced it with the exact same drive 750GB WD, Thing is I could not save anything from the original drive ? so no recovery partitions are anything I even lost all my family photos and software.
    Ok so I done a straight swap over and went ahead installing my fresh Windows 7 x64 disk, then I got an error message saying no device detected please install driver etc etc.
    I know I need to install the sata driver for the harddrive to be detected, so I extracted the HP sata control driver to a USB pen the tried to load the driver, with the load driver option on the install disk.
    Error message saying driver is not signed !!!!   So after some reading on google I learned I had to disable the naitive sata option in the bios settings for the harddrive to be detected.
    Thing is there is not a option for this in my bios ?  unless Im missing something like an advanced bios setting.
    I even went to the Intel site and tried some of there drivers but I get the same error message driver not signed.
    So my question is ? how can I disable the native sata option if Its possible , If not how can I load the HP sata driver if its not signed.
    Its very anyoing someone even said I have to slip the drivers in and make a new home made W7 disk myself to get my pc working again what the hell, where would I start.
    Maybe I should put the laptop in the post and send it back, Ive never had so much trouble before making simple memory and harddrive exchanges.
    Any advice please people Im at my wits end, my laptop is only a few month old and its now a door stopper lol

    Hi,
    Boot into the bios and be sure that the hard drive is detected. 
    Sata drivers are included in Windows 7.
    Return the bios to its default settings and use the HP Recovery Disks.  If you don't have the Recovery Disks then order them from HP. Order HP recovery Disks.

  • Satellite L855-124 can't change display brightness after Win 8 upgrade

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite L855-124 PSKACE laptop.
    After upgrading to Windows 8, I can't change the brightness backlight of the laptop screen.
    There seems to be an error in the graphical driver.
    When I install the Windows 7 graphical AMD driver under compatibility, it works again but bugs out on other areas.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Even after using the upgrade assistant provided by Toshiba it does nothing.
    Also the drivers for my laptop are poorly updated. Dating back to 2012.
    I have also called tech support, they told me that a driver team will be fixing the issue.
    That was 2 months ago.
    Is there anyone from Toshiba that can help me with this please?
    Thank you.

  • How can I change the default page size for the Adobe PDF Printer?

    Hello All,
    I have cases where I need to switch the default paper size from 8.5x11 to 11x17 via api for the Adobe PDF Printer and have not been able to find how this can be accomplished.
    I am using C# .Net and would appreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Bob

    There is no Acrobat API for this, but so far as I know there doesn't need to be. The user can go change this from the Printers Control panel as needed. The Adobe PDF printer has some differences from regular printer drivers, but this isn't one of them.
