Can I put an old 20GB IDE HD into the K8N NEO4 Platinum Board ?

I was just wondering if you can install a old Maxtor 20Gb IDE hard drive into a brand new system built around the K8N NEO4 Platinum (MS-7125) and used it in conjunction with a brand new Maxtor Diamondmax 10 SATA150 80Gb hard drive, for a total hard drive space of 100Gb ?
if it possible for new sata and old ide hard drives to co-exists in the same system ?

Yes , you can do that .
Only advise is to put the old udma66 disk on it's own ide cable .
You would want to install th OS on the sata drive , make sure not to have the ide disk connected during install
or it will host the OS system files and become the system disk (default win installer choice to take the first drive it sees , and
ide is always prior to satas in bios).
Then after OS is all setup , shut down and connect the remaining disks .
So the procedure would be, to install the sata drive first, the optical drives in IDE secondary and when everythings done, the old 20Gb drive in the primary IDE, its that the way of it ?
what do you mean by "put the old udma66 disk on it's own ide cable" ?

  • IDE cables bundled with K8N Neo4 Platinum--80 wire or 40 wire?

    Is the rounded IDE cable that comes with the K8N Neo4 Platinum (non-SLI) mobo an 80 wire or 40 wire cable?  How can one tell?
    I think I may be having some UDMA issues with my second hard drive (120GB Barracuda 7200.7 IDE).  I installed XP on my SATA drive with no other drives connected and then added this IDE drive.
    The rest of my setup is in my sig.
    Thanks!

    OK.  I checked my device manager for the info on my IDE drive.  I looked at the properties of NVIDIA nForce4 Parallel ATA Controller.
    Primary Channel:
    HD Model # is ST3120026A.  The drive set up as Ultra DMA 5 - Ultra 100.  Checked boxes are "Let BIOS select transfer mode, Enable read caching, and Enable write caching.  I did a speed test from Windows and it shows Theoretical limit of 100, Burst speed of 86.3 and Sustained speed of 58.1.
    Secondary Channel:
    DVD: _NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A.  Transfer mode is Ultra DMA2 - Ultra 33.  This is using a flat ribbon cable from an older computer.  The only box checked is "Let BIOS select transfer mode".
    Do these both look OK or do I need to change something?
    Then I looked at the properties of NVIDIA nForce4 ADMA Controller and found:
    My SATA drive (my boot drive) is HD model # ST3160812AS.  Transfer mode is PIO Mode.  Boxes checked are "Enable read caching, Enable write caching, and Enable command queuing.  There is a yellow triangle that says "Transfer mode downgraded".  I can't do a speed test.
    What do I need to do to operate in Serial ATA Generation 2 - 3G?  This is how this drive is supposed to operate.
    Thanks!

  • IDE Issue on MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum

    I just rebuilt my computer over the weekend and everything has worked fine with the new setup except my 2 CD Drives. I have a Pioneer DVD-ROM Drive (Primary) and a Sony CD/RW (Slave) connected to the IDE2 position on the mother board via the same IDE Cable and every time I try to insert a disk and run it from My Computer I receive a Blue Windows Screen citing a MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION. I have 2 HDD connected in the same fashion but have not had any issues with them. When I installed the BIOS that came with the motherboard off of the CD I did select the MSI IDE Drivers and that's the only thing I can think of that would cause this problem, but why only the CD Drives and not the hard drives if they are configured the same way?

    i had the same problem with a dvd drive. The dvd's didn't play right etc.
    One time the cd drive caused a MACHIE_CHECK_EXCEPTION too, but only that time.
    I gave the dvd drive for testing, nothing came up but i replaced the drive anyway and since then no problems. I have the nvidia drivers on and all.It's probably not your drivers. Maybe it's something with your drives, the cable or the IDE connector.
    The IDE2 connector of mine didn't recognise any drive correctly.I took it out of the box to check and now it works fine. Maybe it's being grounded.
    But as i said i changed the dvd drive and it's all fine.
    As for the hdd-cd/dvd combinations you're recommending, it's really a matter of the pc's case, cause for example in my case could never hookup a cd/dvd and an hdd cause the cable is not long enough.THey can't be placed one below the other...

    Not true at all.
    You only buy the right to your own personal use.

    This is illegal.  There is no doubt about it

    The Notes features of the 3G iPod Nano only supports TXT files and not Word Documents.  If you want to be able to read these word documents, you'll need to copy the text from each over to a text file.  See here for more information.

    Keep in mind that each txt file has a limit of 4096 characters.  See this article for more information as well.

  • BSOD's on my x64 K8N Neo4 Platinum based PC, Any ideas what's wrong? Help!

    Over the past few month I've been getting BSOD's. There is no real pattern to their occurence and it's not something which is constantly happening (It happened around 5 times in the past 2 months), but I've really grown to hate them. You see, after getting one what has happened in the past is that when I go to restart my pc after getting a BSOD, I find I need to re-install my whole OS! What happens is that after booting (which oddly enough doesn't work well after a BSOD, It freezes on the boot screen and I need to restart several times), a black screen appears telling me that certain files in the C:Windows\ direcotory are corrupt or missing.
    So the real problem is that the BSOD's cause me to re-install my whole OS. One will happen, then it will be ok, I turn the system on, log into windows, then it might happen again, after which I'll need to re-install. The files that go missing are always different too, and when I run scan-disk (after plugging in my main drive into another computer) it finds corrupt files and deletes them.
    At first I thought it was Azureus (p2p client) which was causing the problems because it seemed to happen when I was runing that. I stopped using it, and the BSOD's still occured...sometimes randomly when browsing...etc. I figured that since files got deleted and corrpupted, it must be a problem withthe Hard Drive....So I bought a new one, and I've still had the BSOD error (although files haven't been deleted yet).
    So yeah, I really need to solve this problem as it is taking away from my productivity and causing me to re-install far too often. I will post the BSOD info as well as my system info below (and a screen shot):

    I looked that up on the net, and it seems the first part seems to indicate, or at least COULD indicate overheating. I checked CPU and System temps and they seem acceptable.
    I am running Windows XP x64 Edition with the following hardware (please note that all of the hardware drivers I'm using are written for x64, MSI is so good:)). I have had this PC before it started having these problems, it could be related to using x64 I guess, but the error doesn't show that does it?

    My OS and drivers are fully updated. As for my BIOS I've been running the version I'm using now forquite some time and I believe it is version 1.5. Also in another bad turn of events, my northbridge fan seems to be on its way out of this world (this just happned so I don't think its related to the BSOD). I haven't been able to find a replacement, and since its not spinning very fast, and sometimes stops...It's causing the heatsink to get quite hot. I need to get a new one, and I can't find them anywhere...I wonder if thats covered under warranty... I looked into getting a different heatsink, but my Graphics card is so colse to this heatsink, that theres no room for a bigger one at all.
    Do you think this problem is motherboard related, I cannot understand what the technical info the BSOD gives me means, can anybody understand it? I don't think its my HD's, or Ram, or CPU...could it be a motherboard problem? And if so, its under 1 year old, can I get an RMA?
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    At one time I had a weak 450w psu that had only 18a on the 12v rail.  When I overclocked my cpu and gpu, I was getting bsod's every once in a while and couldnt figure it out until I read a similar post like yours on this forum.  I decided to upgrade my psu and havent had that problem since.
    Power supplies can be deceiving.  I now have a 480w psu but its has 30a on the 12v rail.  So what we need to know is the ratings of your psu (see my sig) just to see if your psu is the culprit.  Just my 2 cents.   

  • PSU Dead and MOBO K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI Too, what can i do???

        
    Yerterday i was sleeping and suddenly the PSU (Rosewill RP550) Blow away, I Inmediatly check the PSU and guess what? Fried!!! Then i went to sleep again to check the other components in the mourning. The next Mourning i took my old PSU and put an 20 to 24 pin adapter, placed it in the mobo and doesn´t work, next i put a friend PSU with 24 pin connector and nothing, next i test 2 or 3 PSUs more and nothing. After all this tests i started thinking that the mobo was having electrical issues. I went to a friend house and tested the processor ( AMD 3000+ CBBID 0505) and the Memory (OCZ Rev2 1GB), they worked. I couldn´t test the Video Card (MSI 6600GT 128MB) because i dont have any other mobo to check it.
    Its Important to tell you guys that when i try to plug the PSU power conector to the MOBO the Fans and network led start for 1 second, then turn off, i try to start the computer and nothing happend. All this with the four PSUs.
    A friend of mine which is a computers Technician told me that took off the MOBO batery, CPU and Memory and put Aluminiun foil all over and around the mobo to eliminate any static on it. What do yo think about this??
    Please if you have any suggestion, i´ll be happy.
    BTW: Which are the procedures to RMA both componnets ? I bough the mobo and PSU and the others components  on www.newegg.com on May 09 2005.
    Thanks for all. 

    Got my Newegg RMA board back (K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI) today!  I mailed it to them Friday, they got it Monday and a replacement back to me today.  Excellent turnaround 
    The board looks like it was refurbished because the anti-static bag was a bit wrinkled and had pinholes all over one section where the board couldn't have caused it.  Also, it had bios 3.0 on it!  The rest of the stuff in the board looks new but it didn't come with the USB 2.0 bracket which the first board I got did.  Live and learn.
    I flashed it to 3.2 and all appears to be working.  Not gonna try 3.3.  I read somewhere that there may be a beta 3.5 bios out somewhere.  Maybe I'll wait till that one goes final.
    Haven't had any experience with MSI support as far as RMA's but if this replacement board craps out I'll try them next.

  • How can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing model? plss help

    how can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing relational/logical model? plss help
    note; I already have the relational/logical model ready from one schema... and I need to add few more tables to this relational/logical model
    can I import the same way as I did previously??
    but even if I do the same how can I add it in the model?? as the logical model has already been engineered..
    please help ...
    thanks

    Hi,
    Before you start, you should probably take a backup copy of your design (the .dmd file and associated folder), in case the update does not work out as you had hoped.
    You need to use Import > Data Dictionary again, to start the Data Dictionary Import Wizard.
    In step 1 use a suitable database connection that can access the relevant table definitions.
    In step 2 select the schema (or schemas) to import.  The "Import to" field in the lower left part of the main panel allows you to select which existing Relational Model to import into (or to specify that a new Relational Model is to be created).
    In step 3 select the tables to import.  (Note that if there are an Foreign Key constraints between the new tables and any tables you had previously imported, you should also include the previous tables, otherwise the Foreign Key constraints will not be imported.)
    After the import itself has completed, the "Compare Models" dialog is displayed.  This shows the differences between the model being imported and the previous state of the model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
    Just selecting the Merge button should apply all the additions and changes in the new import.
    Having updated your Relational Model, you can then update your Logical Model.  To do this you repeat the "Engineer to Logical Model".  This displays the "Engineer to Logical Model" dialog, which shows the changes which will be applied to the Logical Model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
    Just selecting the Engineer button should apply all the additions and changes.
    I hope this helps you achieve what you want.
