Help! 875P Neo ATA133 configuration

Hello to u all,
I've got some doubts about my configuration.
The person that mounted my pc has done as follows:
got a cd writer connected on IDE1, a dvd reader connected on IDE2 . IDE1 and IDE2 are the two socket for ATA100 devices.
That's ok.
The hard disk is an 80 Gig Maxtor @ 7200 rpm, that goes in ATA133. It is connected to IDE3, the socket for ATA133 devices.
Now... when I turn on my pc, after the bios summary screen, it appears a Fastrak 378 screen, telling that my disk is an 80 gig running in RAID 1+0 Stripe.
What's that?!?  ?(
Well, I know that I can use RAID even if I only got one hd, but is that the right mode to configure my controller for the hard disk I have?
I think that this controller manages not only SerialATA and RAID capability, but also ATA133. But... If I would like to use an ATA133 device WITHOUT using RAID capabilities on it?!? Can I? And what's the loss or the gain of that, in performance?
Should I fix eventually the mode I use my hd without loss of the things I've got in it?
This question is urgent for me because I've got to install Win XP (now I'm a win2000 user), and I've noticed I've got to do much things now in the installation process, such as:
- by pressing F6 at the start of the winXP installation process, load from a diskette the SATA and/or RAID driver... in my case, i have to load the controller's RAID driver.
- My disk is -obviously- unaccessible from a non hd boot. There're no controller's driver to let my hd visibility.
Well, I know i'm a newbie with this new tecnology.. :-)
My best of performance idea was the ATA66 device I had on my last pc... :D
Now I need some need, in order to adjust my system and allow it to work properly.
Thanks a lot!

Well... Thanks a lot for your infos, now wait for someone who can tell if i lose data reconfiguring my hd as a non raid one.
Also, I'd like to know what's the gain (or the loss) in performance between the two solutions... And by the way...how to configure my ATA133 as a non RAID disk.  :D

  • 875P Neo + ATA133 issue

    Okay, so the spec says this thing only supports ATA 66 and ATA 100. However, i have a Maxtor ATA-133 disk, absent-mindedly threw it in, and it worked. Is this a fluke? Are the specs wrong? Basically, "what gives?".

    Ah, I see. Many Thanks.

    In Windows you need to install the Promise USATA drivers from the MSI CD that came with your motherboard.
    Then from Windows Disk Management you need to initialize/format the disk.
    I am having the same exact problem right now. MSI has a CD but with a bunch of programs, no drivers
    Drivers on A disk included are G72-PRSA060
    Promise 376/378 Driver  and the ICH one
    What are "USATA" drivers..?
    Plus, my Sata drive already has sata on it. I don't want to format it, just want to attach it and get data,
     Again, this is single SATA on Ser 3, not a Raid config using ser 3 and 4
    thanks.

  • HELP ! 875P Neo JAUD1 for front Audio with Thermaltake XASER III

    I am trying to connect my new Thermalake case V2000A (the aluminium tower with 7 FANs) front (well top) audio connetors to JAUD1 on the motherboard (875P Neo FiS2R)
    The XASER III wires say :
    EAR L jumped with EAR L (Case manual says connect two "EAR L" to "BLINE_OUT_L" and "Line out_L" on motherboard)
    EAR R jumped with EAR R (Case manual says connect two "EAR R" to "BLINE_OUT_R" and "Line out_R" on motherboard)
    GND (Case manual says connect to "GROUND" or "AGND" on motherboard)
    MIC IN (Case manual says connect to "MIC INPUT" or "MIC 2" on motherboard)
    MIC VCC (Case manual says connect to "MIC POWER" or "MICPWR" on motherboard)
    The JAUD1 connector on the motherboard comes with TWO green jumpers out of factory. One jumper shorting pins 9 & 10 and the other jumper shorting pins 5 & 6.
    Page 2-25 of the motherboard manual says:
    Pin 1 - AUD_MIC Front Panel Microphone input signal
    Pin 2 - AUD_GND Ground used by analog Audio Circuits
    Pin 3 - AUD_MIC_BIAS Microphone Power
    Pin 4 - AUD_VCC Filtered +5V used by analog audio circuits
    Pin 5 - AUD_FPOUT_R Right Channel audio signal to front panel
    Pin 6 - AUD_RET_R Right channel audio signal return from front panel
    pin 7 - HP_ON Reserved for future use to control headphone amplifier
    pin 8 - KEY No pin
    pin 9 - AUD_FPOUT_L Left channel audio signal to front panel
    pin 10 - AUD_RET_L Left channel audio signal return from front panel
    Now, I assume :
    Case "MIC VCC" should go on Pin 3 (or maybe Pin 4 ?)
    Case "MIC IN"    should go on Pin 1
    Case "GND"       should go on Pin 2
    Case "EAR R"     should go on Pins 5 & 6 (I need to REMOVE the green jumper ?)
    Case "EAR L"      should go on Pins 9 & 10 (I need to REMOVE the green jumper ?)
    Thanks for all help !

    I have yet to put the PCI cards inside but so far I was able to reach that end corner of the motherboard with the case top sound cables.
    As soon as I get answers on this Forum to my queries from more knowledged people about the right cabling (this and other posts on firewire and something else), I will then be able to finish all connections and finally place also the PCI cards and the video card and will let you know if it all went ok without the sound case cable stretching too much.
    Thanks.

  • 875P Neo FIS2R drive& bios settings help!!

    Greetings guys.
    Newbie here?
    Would someone be so kind as to help me set up the following, using W2K as OS on the 875P Neo FIS2R board with P4 3.06 processor 2x512mb ram with a radeon 9700 and onboard sound, all the drivers etc are installed from the CD but am still using bios V1.2, not flashed it yet.......
    I want my set up to be the following but I am having problems getting all my drives on the right chipsets.
    IDE1= 1x120gb WD drive and 1x60gb drive for storage
    IDE2= Sony DVDR
    ICH5R to be 2x37gb WD SATA individual drive not raided on ser 1&2
    Promise to be 2x37gb WD SATA as raid 0 for my OS
    but I cannot work out the Bios settings and how to acheive what I want, assuming it is possible to do it this way.
    Yes I know the quantity of drives is OTT but I did a good deal with a local shop in exchange for the 4x37gb SATA HDD's
    Please make it simple, it takes ages to sink into my head...

    make sure the "AS raid" option is enabled in BIOS under intergrated peripherals then on-chip conf.
    that should handel the promise controller.
    then you will need to read the manual to manually set each conf listed.
    pg 3-24
    these settings may do it:
    ATA config set to P-ATA+S-ATA
    S-ATA set to enable
    P-ATA set to yes
    P-ATA set to Both
    Combined mode depends on where you install OS: suggest SATA
    if that, then S-ATA 1st ch.
    S-ATA RAID set to no
    try this,let me know

  • HELP: Cannot get 200GB Maxtior Drive to show up on system with 875P Neo board

    I just put together a system with a 875P Neo board, Intel 3.2Ghz HT Extreme Edition CPU, 32GB Scsi Drive on an Adaptec SCSI card, and two Maxtor Drives.  The First is a 120GB which set as the primary on IDE1 (DVD Reader & DVD Writer are on IDE2) and the second drive is a Maxtor 200Gb Drive set as the primary on IDE3.  When the system boots up It sees the 200GB on IDE3 as DMA6 and proceeds.  When I look at it in the Bios Setup the two DVD roms appear and the 120GB drive appears, nothing appears in the IDE3 slots.
    The system runs Windows XP off the the SCSI drive , which is derive letter C.
    I am running the 1.9 bios I downloaded a last week off the MSI web site.
    Have I set something wrong in the bios settings?
    I do not see the CPU listed as well.
    Any sugestions?  I am trying to avoid going out a buying an ATA/133 Ultra DMA IDE card.
    Thanks for the help,

  • Need help with 875P Neo-FIS2R!! No on board lan??

    Hey i just  got the 875P Neo-FIS2R, it came with bios 1.2 on it.
    At that point I got everything working nice, INcluding the onboard lan card. I then went to live update bios to 1.6 through windows and I had no problems, but after I restarted my comp. it came back on with out detecting the onboard lan?? It was detected before,but ever since I updated to bios 1.6, it doesn't dectect the lan anymore!!! Anything I can do??

    It could be something simple. Did you check to see if the onboard LAN is Enabled in the Bios?
    I'd check that first!

  • 875p neo tweaking and overclocking help needed

    Hi all,
    Ive had this set up for a few years but never once tweaked the bios for performance and now is the time 
    System as follows,
    875p neo / amibios 3.3
    P4 3.0ghz / 512 / 800
    2 gb corsair 1 gb crucial ram
    Radeon (his)  x850 pro agp 256 gddr3
    OCZ powerstream 520
    4 system fans
    2 x 80 gb wd sata
    Ive just swapped the ram around to try and get dual working and decided to get the hoover out as well, good job I did because the cpu heatsink had a great wad of dust on the underside  and maybe that explains the 70 degree temperatures and system slowing down.
    What im looking for is advice on how to get the best out of the cpu / ram / agp card and want to overclock as high as poss without melting the cpu.
    Any tips would be great,
    Mick

    Ok, the combo of all 4 sticks has started causing instability so ive now removed the crucial 2 x 512 and left with the corsair as 1gb in dimm 1 and 1gb in dimm 3. Im happy to stick with this but cannot adjust the bios to make use of the ram's very fast timings of 2,3,3,6 - if I do anything other than auto spd the system crashes, this is a bit of a let down because the options are there in front of me and this new ram cost me a lot of money. I am a little unsure with the ram timings in bios as there are 5 timings and I only have 4 timing specs from the corsair website, the 5th timing in bios is dram burst length and I dont know what I should set this too ?
    Yes I believe I have a northwood and I can now try ddr volt at 2.7 and 2.75, this option is now available after removing the other sticks.
    If anyone can suggest a way of getting the best out of these 2 sticks I would really appreciate it.
    Cheers

  • Problem with S-ATA optical drive(MSI 875P Neo)

    Ahoy MSIers,
    I am in a most dire situation, and before I go to spend money on some computer-tech guy to solve my problem, I thought maybe you could help me.
    *My PC specs:
    Intel Pentium 4 Northwood C 2800Mhz
    MSI 875P Neo
    A-DATA 512Mb RAM DDR 400 * 2(1024)
    PowerColor Radeon 9800Pro
    Western Digital Hard Drive 80Gb 8Mb buffer P-ATA
    Pioneer DVR-212D S-ATA (The main issue here)
    Bios - AMIBIOS - VERSION 3.31a
    Windows XP Pro - SP2
    Until 2 days ago I owned an MSI CD(P-ATA) burner which was virtually dead.
    2 days ago, It died completely, So I decided that I will not just replace a CD burner for a CD burner... no! I will buy myself a new shiny DVD burner!
    So I bought myself a Pioneer DVR-212D(S-ATA) and I went on with installing it.
    I plugged the Serial Power Cable from the PSU to the drive, and connected the drive and the S-ATA port on my M-Board with a serial-ata cable.
    I booted up, and found that the device was nowhere to be found although power is being transferred to it(the drive opens and closes when pressing it's eject button).
    I searched the net and found that I was supposed to "enable" S-ATA in my BIOS.
    Tried that, yet every setting I tried besides the default setting gives makes the computer freeze for a few minutes at the MSI logo and then a "friendly" error massage appears, usually it's something like
    "4th master drive ATAPI incompatible" ( the number changes, I haven't got a clue why).
    Searched the net a bit more and found almost nothing... most s-ata "problems" were about booting from a s-ata hard drive....
    I am getting desperate, So in order to maximize the chances of me getting help solving this issue, I took a few pictures of the BIOS and the inside of my case... maybe it will help, I dunno.
    Here are some pics:
    The S-ATA cable connected to the Mother-Board
    Back of the DVD burner with the S-ATA cable attached
    BIOS - standard CMOS features
    BIOS - Integrated Peripherals
    On-Chip IDE configuration
    P.S
    I have a DVD ROM(Toshiba, nothing special) and I would of course occasionally like to burn Dvds/Cd's from my DVD ROM to my DVD burner. However, seeing as the DVD burner is S-ATA, there is no physical connection what so ever between the two drives(unlike in P-ATA connection where each cable has 3 "connections", 2 for drives(hard or optical) and one for the Motherboard) I really don't know how I can "achieve" this.

    A friend of my father's, whose occupation is a computer technician toke a look at the PC and bios settings today.
    WE tried EVERYTHING and It still wouldn't work so we concluded that the problem is probably in the hardware.
    There were two possible "suspects" here - The Mother Board(specificially the S-ATA controller/ports on it) or the drive itself.
    We connected the drive to my sister's computer and it worked like a charm.
    So the answer was clear - something was wrong with the board.
    I replaced my S-ATA drive for an IDE drive, and all is well.
    Well
    that's the end of that story 

  • First Impressions of 875P Neo FSI2R

    Hello All, first off i'd like to make some comments about this board.
    My Abit IC7-G needed to be returned, so i did a little research on a replacement as the aforementioned board has its quirks, ( Only wished i'd found these forums before i'd purchased. )  so i decided on the 875P Neo FSI2R as it was the closest to my previous setup.
    Now this board is really pissing me off , doesnt MSI have any quality control ?
    1. How can my WD Raptors work fine on the ABIT board using ICH5R , but the MSI have these damn problems ?
    2. The voltages are far from stable , i set 1.60 in bios and it varies from 1.52 - 1.62
    3. I hope the person responsible for the IDE LED not working on SATA has been taken out and dealt with (THIS IS JUST LAZINESS ON MSI's PART)
    4. this board is much slower than the IC7-G
    5. Its a real shame , i cant use this board i will really miss those northbridge lights.
    6. i have my doubts as to if these problems can be fixed with a bios upgrade so reluctanly i am returning this board for something else ... any suggestions ?
    This isnt meant as a flame or to enrage happy Neo owners.
    Kind Regards
    Amigan.

    As far as the problems with the Raptors on the ICH5R I'm afraid I don't have a definitive answer. Only a few ideas that might help. I have had my Seagate 7200.7 drives connected to it as Raid/non-Raid a few times with no problems. Generally unless I'm playing around I keep them on the Promise controller for better performance(no PCI cards).
    1. I'm not sure how old your Raptors are but the first bunch are known to have had trouble with some motherboards. If you look under the drive at the IDE-SATA bridge chip there is a number on the chip that has the letters "BxP" in it where x is a number probably below 6. Apparently the B3P's and below cause problems in many cases and the B4P's in less cases as well. B5P and up is supposed to be good. There is no fix that I'm aware of. At the very least I would run the WD drive diagnose utility to check for problems.
    2. Make sure the cables are properly secured and not overly bent. No hard 90 degree angles with serial cables.
    3. Perhaps a conflict with other devices. Make sure the "APIC...IRQ" setting is enabled in the Bios to free up more IRQ's in XP. You can also disable serial ports in the Bios (super I/O config I think) for more IRQ's if you're not using them.
    4. Raid driver problem. Check the version of the Intel Raid Bios and make sure the drivers used are same or newer. They might have used an old version on the floppy that came with motherboard.
    It sounds like you know what you're doing but try scrolling through the Intel portion of the Raid Guide and see if you missed anything. If you're going to try configuring the Raid again, why not enable Raid in the Bios and install Raid drivers during the Windows install but only on 1 drive. Run with 1 drive for a while and see if the corruption occurs. If not, migrate to Raid0 with the second drive as described in the Raid guide. Sometimes just installing something in a different way will solve an unidentified problem.
    Sorry I can't come up with something more definite. I just haven't experienced anything like the problem you're having. You're not booting 2 different OS's from that drive are you?

  • 875P NEO - Strange problem with SATA non RAID on Promise 20378

    Hello,
    After replacing an IDE harddisk suddenly my S-ATA drive connected to the Promise 387 controller can not be found anymore.
    When booting it says: No devices found, BIOS not installed. I got the the advice to disable S-ATA in the BIOS, but then no S-ATA drive will work ofcourse.
    So here is my situation:
    - MSI 875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0) mainboard with A6758 BIOS version
    BIOS settings:
    Integrated Peripherals:
    - On board Promise IDE = as S-ATA
    On Chip IDE configuration:
    - P-ATA only
    - S-ATA keep enabled = NO (wouldn't know what this means)
    - P-ATA channel selection = Both (if set otherwise it will not recognize the second IDE
    controller, strange!)
    - S-ATA ports defintion: P0-4th/ P1-3rd (standard setting)
    - Config as RAID = NO
    Also I have the Promise 1.0.1.29 drivers installed within XP, I know that MSI says 378_55 is the latest, but when installing a clean XP these drivers did not work at all, so I installed the old ones.Within XP it is recognized btw as being a "WinXP Promise SATA378 IDE controller"
    What I am wondering now is:
    Is it true the Promise controll controls the 3rd IDE controller as well as the S-ATA HDD? And if so can someone please tell what would be the correct settings in the BIOS when having 2 IDE HDD's connnected to the third IDE controller and 1 S-ATA disk on the Promise controller? Because the strange thing only 1 IDE HDD is recognized by XP, the other IDE HDD and S-ATA not.
    Ok, I hope I was a little bit clear, I'm really desperate , so I hope you can help me out !!

    Not sure what the problem is.
    Like I said, all the settings in Integrated Peripherals>>On-Chip IDE Config should only affect the Intel controller(IDE1&2,Serial1&2)
    The only interaction you have with the Promise controller(IDE3,Serial3&4) is through Integrated Peripherals>>Promise Controller(As SATA, As Raid, Disabled). You can also select a drive connected to the Promise as a boot device from Bios>>Advanced Features>>Boot Device Select.
    I would take a step back and start over a little more slowly.
    My assumption so far is that you have WinXP installed on a drive on the Intel controller and that it is booting/functioning properly.
    You are trying to install 2 IDE and 1 SATA drives on the Promise controller.
    1- In Device Manager, right-click on the Promise 378 controller and select uninstall. If you know for sure that the "Raid Consolel SCSI Processor Device" is from a driver you installed for the Promise controller, uninstall that too. Otherwise leave it alone.
    2- Shutdown/Unplug power and disconnect all 3 drives from the Promise controller.
    3- Plugin power/Boot to the Bios and set the Promise controller to "disabled". Also make sure Intel "On-Chip IDE Config" menu "Config SATA As Raid" option is set to "NO"
    4- Save and reboot to WinXP. There should be no Bios errors and the Promise entries in Device Manager should be gone.
    5- Shutdown/Unplug Power and reconnect 1 drive(the SATA to Serial3 for simplicity) Power + data cables!
    6- Plugin power/boot to Bios and set Promise controller to "As SATA"
    7- Save and reboot. You should see the drive name briefly after the initial post screen if you've disabled the MSI splash screen.
    8- WinXP should say something about finding a new SCSI device. If not just see if it's in Device manager and right-click>>"Install Drivers" and point it to the driver folder from before and install the "WinXP Promise SATA378 (tm) IDE Controller Driver". Not the Fastrack ones for raid.
    9- Now after another reboot if the SATA drive isn't visible from Windows Explorer, try the diskmgmt.msc utility again.
    10- If all this works, try adding 1 of the IDE drives by shutting down again, installing the HDD and checking the Disk Manager. If the drives are already partitioned/formatted you wouldn't need to use Disk Manager. Repeat with the 3rd drive.
    If this doesn't work, let me know which step you got to and the problem encountered.

  • Does 875P Neo MB support 250gb SATA2 HDD??

    i have a 875P Neo Motherboard and i want to install a SATA2 250Gb hard drive
    and i wonder if it could support a single HDD with this size!!
    second it only supports SATA1. would a SATA2 drive work without problem??
    would this require update of the BIOS ??
    and what is the maximum supported size of any HDD??
    plz reply as fast as possible coz i've already ordered the HDD but if it is not supported i have to change that order
    THANKS in advance

    thanks for your great help
    i have a couple of questions to make things clear for me
    1- the board does not support SATA II. would it work at this size without problem?? (I understand that it will work only at 150mb/s but my fear that it wouldn't be seen by the board or freeze the system or so).
    2- Would it work OK with an IDE HDD connected??
    thanks
    the rest of my configurations is:
    -P4 3Gb 1mb cache processor
    -Dual channel spectek 2x256mb RAM
    -80gb maxtor +120gb WD IDE HDD.
    -Geforce 5200FX 128mb MSI graphic card.
    -Creative SBlive 5.1 sound card.
    -Twinhan Visionplus 1020a PCI digital TV card.
    -ASUS CD-RW 52-24-52 drive.
