How setup XP with 915G Combo

machine specification:
MSI 915G Combo
hardisk = Maxtor 6 L040J2
DVD = Samsung DVD-Rom SD-616F
RAM = 2 x 256MB Kingston KVR400X64C3A/256
CPU = Intel Pentium 4 530 3GHz 88Mhz FSB 1MB L2 Cache LGA775
Power supply = 450W/P4/12CM Fan
This is my first time with MSI, and first time to setup my new computer by my own... but, i have facing many problems...
i am having problem to install Windows XP Pro SP1, always stop half way with a blue screen that warn me about the demage of harddrive...
now i have Windows 98 SE in my new computer, but since the VGA not support for Win98, i dun want to stay with WIN98.
then, i try to move another hard drive with XP Pro SP1 into this motherboard, but, it do not auto detect the WinXP...
then i try out with the Win98 hard drive, it can detected and start with Win98.
p/s: when i enter BIOS setting, my IDE Primary Master = [Not Detected], but i can see my DVD-rom in IDE Third Master...
anybody can give me suggestion and guideline about this???

First you will need to install using the F6 key, to install the specific drivers that come with the mobo.
This shoul'nt be nesserearly with ich6, as it has support for native s-ate and p-ata.
First of all, you should never try to start youre MB with a HD from another system, unless it's identical as yours. If you do that, you must do a repair of XP(press 'E' after you have answered yes to the licence agreement) er format the disc and do a clean install.
Also, how big is youre disk?
Try updating the bios.
I agree with ArcAiN6, check youre cables and jumpers. If that does'nt help, here is link to MaxtorFAQ that might help.
Good luck

  • [915 Series] 915G-Combo with OCZ-DDR2-533/4200 no post - help!

    I was hoping one of you wonderful experts on this board might be able to help.  I just bought a pair of OCZ DDR2-RAM and am having trouble getting the system to recognize it.  Here are the specs:
    RAM specs:
     - 533MHz DDR2, unbuffered CL 3-3-3-8
     - 1GB (2X512) dual channel optimized gold kit
     - 1.8V 240pin DIMM
     - 2.2V EVP - OCZ's unique Extended Voltage Protection feature allows PC2-4200 modules to handle voltages up to 2.2V ±5%
     - OCZ part number:-OCZ25331024ELDCGE-K
    System specs:
        * CPU model and rated speed:-Intel Socket775 2.8GHzE
        * Not Overclocked
        * Motherboard and revision:-MSI 915G-combo
        * Motherboard Bios rev:-1.7 (latest)
        * Video card:-ATI X800XL
        * Power supply:-450W
        * Operating System:-XP Pro SP2
    My current Crucial DDR-400 PC3200 CT6464Z40B 2x512MB RAM runs without problems installed.  When I switched out the Crucial RAM and installed the OCZ DDR2-533 PC4200 RAM in the appropriate DDR2 slots (1 and 3), no go.  The system won't even post and I can't get into the BIOS.  I tried using even just one of the 512MB sticks, alternated sticks, and even tried just one stick in DDR2 in slot3 instead of slot1 - no go. My boot drives don't get accessed either as I had even placed a Memtest bootdisk in the floppy hoping it might be able to access that.
    I've been working over the last 24hrs with the very helpful OCZ folks but we havn't been able to get anywhere.  I realize that OCZ isn't technically on the 'tested and verified' DDR2-list for the 915G-combo board, but OCZ is a good name brand (up there with Crucial) and I went for the higher-end Gold-series (CAS3) so I figured it wouldn't be a problem.
    I've tried clearing the CMOS (no effect except to wipe out my bios settings).  I have a D-Bracket2 installed and it hangs when the upper right light is green with the rest red (according to the D-bracket guide, that means 'Memory Detection Test - will hang if the memory module is damaged or not installed properly'.  I can't imagine the RAM is bad - I have 2 matching ones to test (neither seem to work when installed by itself), and just got it brand new from Monarchcomputers yesterday evening in their retail box unopened.
    Per OCZ's advice, I was unable to manually set a CAS of 4 with my Crucial DDR installed (I could only manually set it to a max of 3), so I also test-tried a manual set of the BIOS memory timing to 3-4-4-10 while the Crucial DDR RAM was installed and then retried the system with only the new DDR2 installed in their appropriate slots (Crucial DDR of course removed).  Still no luck - the system won't get to bios and hangs at the Memory Test per D-Bracket2.  It won't even get to a point where it tries to access/boot from floppy so that I can't run MemoryTest from disk.
    Would anyone else out there recommend trying something else, short of going out and shelling out $140 for an ABit AA8-925X mboard that OCZ actually lists as compatible with their RAM?  My MSI 915G-Combo board has been flawless for me up to now and I'd hate to part with it just because it won't work with good OCZ DDR2 ram.  One thing I havn't tried is attempting to use an older BIOS version - I had flashed to the latest v1.7 bios prior to installing the DDR2 ram, so I've never actually tried any of the older versions.  Does anyone think this would be worth a shot?
    Cheers
    - James

    Thanks... I tried that.... still no go...
    I just got an email from OCZ techsupport (they had requested that I email them directly).
    "we have identified a problem with the PC4200 Gold DDR2 dimms, we need to get you a pair with reprogrammed SPD info on them. So we need to swap your kit out"
    They were very apologetic about it, and from what I can tell I don't think this happens a lot with OCZ ram...
    So that hopefully will be the solution to my problem.. I'm processing an RMA with them right now.. will let you know how it goes.. it's a 'relief' to find out that it most likely isn't my MSI-915G board's fault after all...
    Kudos to OCZ at least for getting back to me so quickly, even though it does suck to have my memory delayed again.. I'll post again when I get the replacement RAM and let you all know how it goes...  at least they've identified a problem and are willing to take care of it rather than leaving me hanging...

  • HT4864 I'm using Comcast email, how do I setup iCloud with Comcast? I have an iPhone and iPad 2, my home computer is using Windows XP, so I guess I'm out of luck using iCloud with XP.

    I'm using Comcast email, how do I setup iCloud with Comcast? I have an iPhone and iPad 2, my home computer is using Windows XP, so I guess I'm out of luck using iCloud with XP.

    Forwarding email from comcast to icloud is different than icloud managing comcast email.  One disadvantage of forwarding is that when you respond to an email originally sent to the comcast address and forwarded to icloud, your reply will have the icloud address as the source, not your comcast.  That is a problem for many users.
    If your comcast account is IMAP, then there's no reason to forward.  Just define two accounts in your mail app, one for comcast and one for icloud.  Once done, you don't have to worry about dealing with two services, it's all done in a unified way.
    And.... you are not talking to Apple here, we're just users like you.  Apple doesn't participate in these forums.

    I have an iphone 5. My number has not transferred over to the new phone although my network provider sais that it has. The network provider sais I must setup phone with itunes. How do i do this?

    If you can access anything on the phone, then try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If this doesn't help, then go to Settings, General, Reset, Erase all content and settings, and this will bring you back to the activation screen.

  • 915G combo HDD CD-DVD question

    Hi I have a new 915G combo MB with latest bios etc.
    Here is the question, i have Boot Hdd on the blue IDE1 as c/s the 2 CD-DVD CD/R-RW on IDE 2 as c/s,
    in bios it reports
    Pri master       not detected
    pri secondary   not detected
    sec master      not detected
    sec secondary not detected
    thi master       detected maxtor 160gb
    thi secondary   not detected
    the 2 CD rom detected in raid.
    Ok it works but why isnt the maxtor detected as primary master as normal when in IDE1 slot?
    also why the bios does not detect the 2 CD roms.
    Also if i disable the on board raid, and use IDE bus mastering in bios the HDD light is lit all the time.
    Thanks for any help on this
    All the best Thomas

    IDE bus mastering is not for the RAID controller. Check in the Integrated Peripherals, look for the RAID controller settings, either it's disabled, RAID, or IDE. If you only seen Disabled and RAID, then you'll need to go into the RAID controller setup instead of BIOS setup to change to IDE. If still can't do this, then you have to follow my suggestion in the first place.
    I guess you've already have the perception on MSI board and I don't think anyone can convince you further. Good luck to you on whatever board you use in the future. You're welcome back here if you have any MSI related questions.

  • 915G Combo + Pentium 4 650J (775/3,4GHz) - Do it work?

    HI!
    I am buying MSI 915G Combo mobo and also Pentium 4 prosessor.
    From "MSI's cpu support site" we can read, that 915G works fine with 550J -series pentium4 prosessor, but with 650J -series prosessors are under testing.
    Do anybody know, that works this mobo with newest bios also with Pentium4 660J prosessor??? Or must all users wait newer bios??? If we must, can some know how long?
    If I try use mobo with 650J  prosessor, can prosessor or mobo crash?? Voltages, etc?
    kkuu

    I'll just say "Please don't try this at home", since no results has been produced from MSI and while they have already mentioned "Under Testing" means that nothing has yet to be confirmed on whether Yes or No.
    You can either wait for the results or you can start placing your bets if you want to try testing yourself, but don't hair-split if things goes bad... . The worst case will be dead mobo + CPU and the best results will be the message, "Unknown CPU Steppings" or stuffs like this.

  • How to sync with two computers not at the same time, I'm registerd with one computer

    How to sync with two computers (not at the same time), I'm registered with one computer and am trying to connect with second computer with same iPhone. To sync the first time with the second PC "Firefox Sync Option tells me Create New account or Connect, when I connect it gives me a Passcode and on iPhone it also gives me a Passcode, than how do I connect? Both the iPhone and PC gives me a Passcode and have now idea what to do with them.
    Where do I find my Sync Key ? so I can install manually if it works ?

    Use the Sync Key ''(Recovery Key)'' from the PC that you used to initially setup your Firefox Sync service, when setting up that 2nd PC with Sync. You need to use '''Add a device''' to setup the 2nd and subsequent devices on a Sync account. <br />
