K7n2 delter ilsr raid

i have a k7n2 delter ilsr but i seam to be unable to use its raid when i add a harddrive to it keeps saying bios not installed is there anyway in removing it or is there a nack to as theres nothing in the manuel for it. ???? ?(

hi
my knowledge of raid is limited
the sata connectors and ide3 is part of raid.
if you add or remove any drive you have to define a new drive array.
when it says no bios it means no drives are connected.
atleast its why i get that message on my promise ultra100 tx2 ide controller card.
you have to push a certain button to get into raid bios.
bye

MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR - RAID BIOS Option ???

hi ho,
i have my 2 storage devices pluged into the promise 376 onboard controller. they are not connected as a real raid (not mirror nor real stripe). my OS is win2k on the first sata device and everything was fine for a long time.
but now when my system boots, it detects the ide drives and then i see the irq board.
right after that the system stops and tells me 'disk boot failure'. so i don`t get the chance to configure my raidcontroller or my sata devices.
it is as the controller is deactivated. i remember a bios version where you could activate and deactivate the sata controller. but in my bios (right now it is v7.8) there is no such option.
i have tested so far:
- reset cmos
- flash bios v7.5 to 7.8
- disconnected sata drives
anyone with similar problems or any suggestion?

watch the bottom of the screen after pressing Enter on the "Welcome to Setup" screen. There will be some moments of files being loaded, and then you should see a message appear which says "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver". This message will only stay on the screen for a couple of seconds, so press F6 as soon as you see it appear. After this is done, you will see other messages appear, and it will act as though nothing is happening, but eventually a screen will appear which will allow you to install the drivers for the sata controller.
specify a device press S, select "win 2000 promise fasttrak 376 controller" it will read floppy and load, dot not remove floppy yet, continue win2000 install it may nead to access floppy to finish installing raid driver, did you do it like this.
try making some floppy boot disks and boot to floppy instead of cd.
http://freepctech.com/pc/002/files010.shtml
when you say there not listed, where did you see this? they wont be listed, windows will search for fasttrak controller so it will see sata's conected to it with out you knowing, so long as you load the controller from floppy that came with mobo as above.

[nForce] K7N2 Delta ILSR - Do i have to have raid with sata drive

Hi guys,
Probably a really stupid question, but here goes
My machine has 1 ide HDD and 1 SATA HDD.
The SATA drive is set up as raid0 and is purely used as a data disk. The OS(win xp pro sp1) is on the IDE drive
The only way i could get the SATA HDD recognised by windows, was to set up a raid array with just the 1 disk.
Pretty useless raid array i know.
Did i have to do this or is there a way to have the sata hdd usable without having to set up a raid array
Thanks

you have to do it for the controller to work
but it has no effect on the drive
you can move a regular drive on ide 3 back to a normal ide and its all fine

Someone plz help me with my k7n2 delta-ilsr

Hey everyone,
I just put my sytem togother and ran into a problem. I got the system to boot up just fine. It was not until I tried installing windows xp proffesional that I ran into problems. The installation process runs pretty smoothly, until the computer reboots to run windows for the first time. After it reboots the windows logo appears and the after 2 seconds or so, a blue screen appears saying that windows was shut down to prevent any damage to my computer. I have never encountered this problem before when I built other systems. The screen suggests that I should check my HDD's for viruses or check to see if they are configured correctly. The HDD's are SATA and I have them set up in RAID 0 mode and yeah I installed the RAID drivers during the installation process. Thinking that I had made mistake setting up the SATA drives, tried installing windows using a regular IDE hard drive and it gave the same message. I am stumped anybody have any ideas of what I might be doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated . My system specs are below.

Memory that comes with timing of 5 2 2 2 or 6 2 2 2 or usally winbond BH-5 memory chips. Ones with 5 3 2 2 or CH-5 winbond chips. The BH-5 chips overclock a little better than the CH-5. (Muskin uses BH-5 winbond in there black ram)
Winbond is no longer making BH-5 chips but is going to make a limited run of them as demend is high for them.
The first number shown here is the Traz and it controls the flush timing bench testing is showing that a higher number of 9, 10 or 11 or getting better bench results than the 6 or 5. Thats with Dual Channel memory.
The timing you show probly should be something like 8 3 3 3 or 8 3 3 2.5 unless it is there faster Dual channel ram.
The timing numbers can also appear like this 2 2 2 5 the high number is the Traz either way.
Look on your memory manufactor web site for the timing that if should run at also look at the voltage as this can make a big differance.

Data corruption on MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

Hi all,
Just got my new MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR up and running.
Got some issues with the memory running at 200mhz while the Barton core of my Athlon Xp 2600+ was running 166mhz, this had to be 1:1 (thx forum )
While running the default bios settings with cpu/mem at 166/166 fsb everything is stable as hell. I have been running Prime95 for 2 days now and using the system for dvd ripping/encoding, UT2004 gaming etc.
Then the overclocking began I'm using the standard AMD cooler that came with my boxed Xp2600+ so I didn't expect an FSB of 200mhz.
I stopped at an FSB of 190mhz...been crunching Prime95 for 18 hours now and again very stable.
Now comes the problem : Sometimes I get crc errors when installing a game or decrypting a dvd!! But how can this be? Prime95 is stable at this 190fsb overclock.
When using an FSB of 166mhz no data corruption or crc errors.
What can this be? It's not the cables because they're all the same as in my old setup which was running (ahum...walking) stable. PCI/AGP speeds are locked when overclocking...
Only thing I can think of is the power supply. I've read in a warning post from Bas that the Q-Tec 550w psu I have is crap. So my guess is PSU, but maybe it's something else I'm forgetting...Any suggestions??
The stupid thing is when I'm not overclocking I don't have the data corruption problems, but I'm still using the same crappy Q-Tec 550w PSU.
Help!
gr,
Remco

Hmmm, that's curious. On the MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR product page Kingston memory is recommended
Ok, did a Memtest86 v1.11 pass at cpu/dimm 166/166 - no problems whatsoever. I think using Prime95 would have revealed memory problems...but will do another pass with cpu/dimm at 190/190.
Can overclocking affect the Promise Raid Controller?? It should be locked like the PCI/AGP but who knows...
Well, I still have to replace my PSU but I'm not 100% sure that this is the problem. What PSU would you recommend? ...and I'm also thinking about replacing the standard CPU cooler, any advice is welcome

MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and Serial ATA Drive

I've got a very strange problem....
Yesterday i have installed my new motherboard (MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR) but i have a problem with the SATA feature.
I've got two drives : one 40GB ATA (Western Digital) and one 160GB SATA also from Western Digital.
My SATA drive is recognized by the FastTrak BIOS (v2) but i'm unable to reinstall Windows XP Professional (with SP2 Slipstreamed) because Windows Setup didn't recognize the SATA disk. I have loaded the Promise Serial ATA Drivers at the begin of the installation (F6)...
I have also tried 2 different versions of the Promise SATA Drivers; the one that cames with my motherboard CD, and the most recent from the MSI website. But with both drivers the same result. How can i get my Serial ATA Harddisk get work with this motherboard?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Computerfreakje.
PS : My specifications are the following:
MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR (Rev. 7.4)
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
2x 256MB Kingston PC3200 Dual Channel
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb (R360)
Western Digital 40GB ATA
Western Digital 160GB SATA

Thanks for your reply Richard,
My motherboard didn't came with a floppy (I have bought an bulk version..) I have created a SATA floppy by myself. (I have got the drivers from the motherboard cd..) These drivers are also good, right?
Which type of RAID Array should i create? Because i have only one SATA drive.....
I think the "auto" feature is the easiest way?
Thanks.

G4Ti4200-VTD64 voltage incompatibility with MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR??

Hello,
I have the MSI G4Ti4200-VTD64 (4X) video card.. I want to upgrade my motherboard to K7N2 Delta-ILSR. Is there any voltage incompatibility?? I heard that new mother boards will support only AGP 1.5V. Is the AGP voltage of K7N2 Delta-ILSR 1.5volts?? Is my video card compatible with this voltage?? I really want to retain my current video card as I am quite satisfied with it and I'm not willing to invest on a new one at the moment. If there is an incompatibility could you suggest another Socket A MB with good performance and SATA RAID support.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Joseph

K7N2 Delta-ILSR BSOD

Hi
MSI Nforce K7N2 Delta-ILSR
Bios V1016
Antec True380SPGB True Power 380w
AMD Athlon XP2800+
2x512mb Crucial DDR
1xSATA HDD
Abit Siluro GF4 Ti4200
I've installed 1 SATA onto the onboard Raid controller, but I keep getting BSOD when either playing a game or watching avi's. The 0x00000000 message is disappearing too quickly to right down but is saying windows was shut down to prevent damage to the hardware.
Will the K7N2 Delta-ILSR Promise controller work with just one SATA hdd connected, I know that the silicon image controller on my Asus A7N8X-E will support just one SATA connected but will the promise chipset.
I've updated all the drivers but the dreaded BSOD keeps happening.
If it won't it not's a major problem as I do have a PCI sata controller card I can install.
Or are there any issues with the above graphics card and the MSI mobo?
Thanks for any help.

Yep I've created a array with the single SATA and got Windows installed.
I've also changed the memory settings so they are now 1:1 with the FSB.
I've also altered the advance settings so I'll be able to write down the full 0X00000000 string.
Just set net access up via my PC and got this error report from M$
Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)
Error Caused by Graphics Device Driver

K7N2 Delta - ILSR & Hitachi T7k250 no go?

Hello!
My K7N2 Delta ilsr doesn't recognize hitachi's SATA II disk. Bios version is 7.60.
Disk works fine on DFI Lanparty NF3 250GB and is set on SATA I mode (I've checked with Hitachi's FTool).
Is there anything i could do or shoud i change the disk for other brand (I was thinking WD 2500KS - also SATA II)

K7N2 Delta ILSR won't boot from FDD or HD

I have a serious problem with my new K7N2 delta ILSR based computer.
My machine is
K7N2 delta ILSR 400W
3.3/25 5/32 12/15 V/A PSU
512+256 MB A-data 3200 ram
Athlon XP2500+
BTC 48x24x48 Combo
100 mb Zip int. -disabled
120 GB Seagate barracuda SATA-disabled
120 GB Seagate Barracuda parallel
Triplex parasouls ATI 9600PRO 128MB
The machine POST's normally with all 4 lights doing what they should.
The Promise BIOS can detect the SATA drive correctly but when an attempt is made to write the array an error- 'error modifying array- system is going to reboot- press any key to reboot>" is given.
The M/B BIOS detects the FDD and Seagate Parallel drives correctly but when a correctly formatted XP boot disc (or Mandrake Linux or Caldera DR-DOS) is placed in the floppy drive a "no system disk" error is given.
When you F6 to install RAID drivers in the Windows XP install and the screen comes up where you are prompted to insert the floppy there is no mass storage device detected.
I purchased a new FDD and it gives precisely the same error as the original.
I installed the parallel Seagate in another system and installed and activated windows XP on it. After re-installing it in the K7N2 system I was disappointed to discover that it will not boot off the hard drive. When you boot from the XP CD the machine locks up. (Disconnecting the HD it will boot normally)
This is a real puzzle as it is possible to format the hard drive using Max Blast3- the maxtor disk utility which is based ( as is the Seagate Seatools utility) on Caldera DR-DOS). And I can't see why it should boot from a CD-ROM and not from any other correctly formatted boot disk.
I suspect a problem in either the (South?) bridge that controls the peripherals or the BIOS. I am at a loss how to re-flash the BIOS with out the use of the floppy drive- unless this can be done from a CD-ROM.
The PSU is not being strained and nForce list both RAM sticks as OK.

The Fd light behaves normally. i.e. lights up when the drive is being accessed.
has anybody else noted that the FDD is B by default- That the cables have a few wires twisted like the wires between the first and second plugs on the old cables?
The IDE 80 wire(counted!) is long end in the board- my plugs are all 3 black. You can't put them in the wrong way becaue of the centre key.
All the stands are plastic except for two brass ones that are in the centre of the board that go to circular mount pads. That is how the case came and I thought it was a design feature.
The thing I find most puzzleing is that i can boot a caldera based system that finds everything including the floppy- and read it- (provided you call it drive B!) yet naything DOS based won't go- I have this feeling that it has a screwed up DOS call that is not looking in the right disk sector for NTldr or whatever to boot. I think this is a bios problem- but I am not sure how to find out when you can't boot from the FDD.
My brother has talked to some tech friends and there word is that this is a weird one- probably a dud board RTS.

About k7n2 delta ilsr.

I would like to buy this mainboard:
What contains MSI K7N2 DELTA ILSR mainboard package (D-Bracket, S-Bracket, plugs...)? Is fan speed dependent on temperature? ?(

I just got my Delta tonight, gonna put it together at the weekend, so looking in the box my UK spec contains, 1 mobo, FDD cable, Round IDE cable, SATAcables+Powercables, D Bracket2, 1394 bracket, S Bracket(SPDIF-Analogue connnectors) 2 CDs & a Raid Floppy,2books, Backplate and a sticker. Also by mistake a TV out bracket thats not for this mobo.
Hope that helps

NEED HELP - K7N2 Delta ILSR

I really need help. I recently bought my new moboard the K7N2 Delta ILSR and with it a GeForce FX 5600 256DDR, 512 DDD Ram PC3200, an 80Gb Seagate SATA HD, andi have a 2800+ AMD Athlon Xp Barton Core Cpu. The problem i get is that when i try to install Windows XP it says it cant find any hard drives. I saw the other thread that was like this but that one had about RAID so i thought i would ask again. I even tried it with Windows 98 which finds my hard drive and even installed once but after that i tried to upgrade to Windows Xp which didnt work, overwrited some of my Windows 98 files and so that didnt work either and when i try to install it again it gives me errors. PLS help im desperate to get my lan workin with my other PC. I havent changed any options in the bios and i dont know if i have to change anything to make sata work. I dont have a floppy disk either for the hd. I found it in the array thigy as well.

Windows will not find a SATA drive you have to tell it you have one bios will only find IDE drives.
you must hit ctrl F when the screen comes up during boot and creat an array just follow the on screen promps.
If you bought a OEM board and don't have the SATA Promise disk download it from MSI and a Manual too.
Either a Raid 0 or Raid 1.
It looks like you have only one drive so just tell it that and the array will work.
Than go to your Bois and set Bois to boot from CD first SCSI secound.
Now you can load your OS. When your OS starts to load it will flash a line across bottom of screen asking if you have SCSI hit F6 do so. The OS will keep loading but when its done it will ask for you 3.5 promise disk. Put it in and load the Fast Track 376 program.
When you OS is finished loading it will again ask for this disk as the first time it just loads the drivers to memory the secound time to your HDD.
Good Luck it a little confussing the first time as the programers think there talking to techs not people so use terms that sometimes don't make sense.

Argh! K7N2-Delta ILSR hangs at boot attempt

I built a new system today, everything right out of the box (except the HDs):
K7N2-Delta ILSR
Athlon FX 2500+ w/factory cooler
Kingston KVR333X64C25/512
Sapphire Radeon 9100 Atlantis
Western Digital 60GB
Western Digital 80GB
Pioneer DVR106
Antec Sonata case, 380W
After bolting it all together, the D bracket shows that the system hangs at 'Boot Attempt' (upper left LED red, others green). I've taken it apart and reassembled it, checked all the drive jumpers, reseated cables, etc. Cleared the CMOS and reset the jumper. Moved the memory to all three slots, no change.
When I turn it on, the drives spin up, fans come on, and everything seems OK. Still, nothing.
Any suggestions before I start the percussive maintenance on it?
Thanks!

them models should be ok the bb you need to butcher the ide
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=1438&sid=
>Thanks. Read it and think I am on track. Checked my specs and was surprised the the 80GB is 7200rpm.
check jumpers there pin 4 is slave and i assume it an 80 wire ide blue end in board
>Right on both. Still, I am trying to boot with just one (have only tried the 60GB).
and in top one of 3 ide slots as lower is the raid one and it will not work as a regular ide nor in raid with 2x drives
>Spot on: cable's connected to the middle of the three IDE slots. DVD is on IDE 2, but I think I will disconnect and use my trusty CD-ROM until I get up and running.
myself i use all my wd drives in cable select
>Thanks, will try that too. I am at work, so will have to wait until I get home this afternoon to try your suggestions. Thanks again!
