What am I doing wrong? Thx.
I've downlodaded other oficial Drivers too: Promise Serial-ATA RAID Drivers (sata48N.exe) and the same problem...
Hard drives are working right, they have been tested.

do you mean you don't see the Ctrl + F prompt when you first power up?
try reconnecting the SATA cable, or connect it to the other port. try another SATA cable. try another power connector. try that drive in another system

    I´ve updated BIOS to 2.0 version (the last one) and I´ve boot up only with a seagate HD(80 GB) on IDE3... and the same....
    I´ve written to:
    [email protected] and here it´s their answer:
    Would you please make sure you have done as follows?
    1. connect the HDD to IDE3, then boot up system. There should be Promise BIOS reminding you to enter setting arrays. Please enter to set Performance mode. (It is the MB's special feature. Though you use one HDD, you should set an array.)For how to set it, please refer to the manual. It should be described in the manaul.
    2. then enter OS, go to the following link to download Promise Serial-ATA RAID Drivers and install it.
    The problem is still the same... menu for Promise BIOS doesn´t pop up after booting up, that should mean that Promise BIOS doesn´t recognize the unit so I don´t get to second point and windows doesn´t acknowledge the new hardware, and still displays hardware with yellow exclamation mark (code 10). Do you have any idea?  Thanks a lot

  • BIOS doesn't show SATA Drive as Boot Sequence option

    Hi,
    I recently bought an MSI MEGA 865 Pro, and can't get the SATA hard drive to work (Western Digital Caviar 400GB)
    When it boots up, it auto-detects an 'IDE Hard Disk' as Primary on IDE Channel 3, but when I go into the BIOS setup, the only Boot Sequence options I get are Disabled and my DVD Writer.
    In On-Chip IDE Configuration, I've got P-ATA Channel Selection set to Both and On-Chip Serial ATA set to Native Mode. These, and also Combined Mode Option, are the only options I have, and I've tried changing them with no result.
    When I try to install Windows, or use the Western Digital Tools for setting up the HD, they both say there's no hard drive.
    I've tried it in my Shuttle, and it finds it fine. I used it to write a disk signature, and set up partitions, leaving some space free for InstantOn. Put it back into the MSI, .. same thing.
    My AMI BIOS is at version 1.0 at the moment, and I'm going to try to upgrade it to 1.1 tonight. According to MSI's website, it fixes a restart issue with EM64T processors, which I have, but I'm not sure if it's going to fix the HD.
    Is there anything else I can try?

    I've just tried something which helps a little.
    If I reset CMOS by shorting pins 2-3 on the JBAT1 jumper on the motherboard, when I turn the PC on it works, and complains about CMOS settings. In the BIOS this time the HDD is recognized, and everything seems OK. But .. after a reboot I get the same problems again.
    Also, I've tried creating a bootable CD with the BIOS files on it, but when I try to upgrade the BIOS, it just comes up with the usage instructions like I did something wrong. I am typing 'ADSFI718 A7122IMS.110 <enter>'.
    Please help.

  • Configuration in BIOS doesn't show CDRom Drive

    I'm just checking out a used T41, 2373-4JU, and I do not see the CDRom Drive listed in my configuration list in BIOS.  Is this because the Drive is connected to the USB circuit?
    However, the drive appears in the sequence for booting devices (F12 button), where it is distinguished from other USB devices.
    I'm a novice, and would be thankful for any and all help from charitable souls.
    I have some other fears and ignorances about this computer.  I want to put my old HDD from a dead A20m into an adapter for the 2000 Bay and boot up from there, but I do not know if the W98SE on that old HDD will do some damage to the XP Pro system that is installed on the regular HDD of the computer.  Will the two harddrives be kept completely apart?

    George,
    Many thanks for responding. 
    I've ordered an adapter of the slim version, so things should be ok.
    However, it problem with the cd-rom is not so ok.  the drive is a toshiba SD-R9012.  It is supposed to be cd-rom r/rw and dvd combo drive.  In Device Manager it appears listed simply as a dvd-rom drive.  Device Manager says it is operating fine, but it is not.  It reads cd-romsand it accesses cd-audios and plays them, but it does not recognize blank cd-rom/r or cd-rom/rw disks and it does not recognize dvd-video disks, "unknown medium".  This non-recognition is true in Windows Media 11, Cyberlink PowerDVD5, and Nero6.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, but the only driver in the XP Pro fines seems to date from 2001.  I cannot find an updated driver from Toshiba or Lenovo, but perhaps I've not looked hard enough.  The auto search function on XP also did not find anything newer.  But this did not help.
    What is odd also is that the Backup Wizard only talks about making a bootable floppy (which this machine does not have) and aborts if I try to write the files to the cd-rom device.
    So, I accessed the BIOS menus, and there with the F12 key listing of booting devices, I found the Toshiba drive properly listed in the sequence of booting devices, but when I went into the Configure menu, where I expected gto find all the hardware options listed, I did not find any cd-rom drive listed.  A floppy disk was listed and disabled, the harddrive was listed an enabled, etc. but no mention of any type of cd-rom or dvd-rom.  I thought that might be because that drive is in the ultra Bay and the ultra Bay was connected to the machine through a standard USB connection.
    Anyway, in point of fact, I've got no way to make a booting disk or to backup files.
    thanks, again,
    Wodeming
    T41, 2373-4ju, xp-pro.

  • K7N2G-ILSR Sometimes boots, sometimes not.

    I have a feeling I'm stuck with this, but maybe there's a eureka-moment I've missed? Having looked through the forum I've seen similar problems but I'm not sure this is the same.
    Problem is with a K7N2G-ILSR that 70% fails to boot (RAM error), 10% boots with half RAM, and 20% boots OK. Full system spec:
    =====================================================
    K7N2G-ILSR (0304082234) (BIOS v1.6)
    Athlon-XP 2600+ (2.083GHz)
    2 * 512MB PC2700 (slots 2 & 3) (RAM branded "MV")
    2 * Seagate Barracuda 7200/8 160GB S-ATA hard drives (mirrored)
    Samsung floppy
    Panasonic SW-9581-C DVD-writer (IDE2 master)
    PS/2 kb & mouse
    Antec Lanboy case (comes with Antec SmartBlue 350W PSU)
    Antec SmartBlue max load details:
    +5V - 35A
    -5V - 0.5A
    +12V - 16A
    -12V - 0.8A
    +3.3V - 28A
    +5VSB - 2.0A
    +5V & +3.3V max combined output: 230W
    +5V & +3.3V & +12V max combined output: 330W
    Cooling:
    AKASA 824cu-RED (copper base, 8cm fan) (into 4pin from PSU)
    AKASA GREEN LED 8CM CRYSTAL FAN (into 4pin from PSU)
    All 4 MSI brackets are plugged in.
    No AGP or PCI cards.
    CPU idles at 30C, sustained load at 40C.
    =====================================================
    I've tried all the CMOS reset, battery in/out etc suggestions with no change in symptoms.
    Disconnecting HDs, DVD and front fan make no difference. BIOS v1.2, 3, 4, 5, 6 make no difference.
    This is the 2nd motherboard... the first one (rest of system unchanged) worked great as far as booting went but had the INCREDIBLY ANNOYING HIGH-PITCHED NOISE from near the CPU socket. This was after running with the auxillary 12V (4 pin) cable plugged in. According to posts elsewhere in the forum, once that 12V cable has been used you can't get rid of the noise... so this time I have carefully *not* used it. Please don't tell me that the lack of it is why the current system is having problems! La-lah-LA-la-LAH I don't want to know :o)
    To get the system to boot I do this (from OFF):
    Turn on with front power button.
    If memory error (beep and LED pattern):
    turn off with front power button
    count to ten and start again
    If only half RAM on POST screen:
    turn off with front power button
    count to ten and start again
    Otherwise dual channel msg comes up and we have lift-off!
    I've tried other rituals (power cable, PSU switch, CMOS reset...) but the result's always the same.
    When the system boots properly (1 time in 5) it's great... Win2k is happy and CPU/memory intensive apps are solid. But a Windows restart (or aven Ctrl-Alt-Del after a floppy boot) puts us right back to the problem: 1 time in 5 it'll restart happily, otherwise it's the damned beep-beep-beep!
    RAM: yes, it's a brand I'd never heard of but they do seem to be a batch pair. As noted above, both DIMMs were OK in the first K7N2G-ILSR. They're also fine in a Shuttle SN41G2. So I'm a bit sceptical about the veracity of the RAM-error beeps!
    So peeps, if you've read this far, any ideas what's causing me (re)boot hell? I think I'd just live with it but for one thing... I really need for this system to be remotely bootable (VNC and a Windows restart req)... hardly likely to work is it?!

    wonkanoby: tried the pencil rubber thing but, sadly, no joy.
    buggfix: I hear what you say and it is very tempting to plug the aux 12V in. I've got another K7N2G-ILSR in an Antec Plus 1080AMG case (Antec True430 PSU) with the 12V plugged in and no noise (yet). (But it does have a Win2k-srv memory-leak problem and that's why I'm desperate to get the system described at the top of this thread working - essentially a duplicate to let me test installation order.) The noisy board was older (going by s/n) so maybe it was a batch problem and I'd be safe enough now?
    0303234967 - noise
    0304036761 - OK in Antec 1080
    0304082234 - this thread's subject
    Now wishing I hadn't tried to make such a low component-count server; shoud've stuck with basic board + NIC + SND + VID cards.
    twistedbrowntucker: Possibly there was some follow-on damage, but it doesn't "feel" right. Still, now I'm reduced to the "known good" dance. If I can get the time tomorrow I'm going to break up a Shuttle (SN41G2, XP2600+, 2*512MB, 200GB Maxtor, LG DVDwriter, card reader) and see if I can pinpoint anything... swapping the RAM is number 1 obviously! Then the CPU and then maybe rip apart another PC or two for PSUs... I feel tired already!
    My gig is normally software so, although I'm quite happy with hardware, I resent getting bogged down. Usually paying a bit extra for known-brands keeps me out of that - hey, I want to *use* the stuff!
    Thanks for your replies peeps.
    ASIDE: Question about  the HD LED - I'm getting zero activity... should the S-ATA drives be showing up? Or the DVD activity?

  • K7N2g RAID (Promise 20376)

    Simple question, sorry can't find the answer anywhere else -
    Can I create a 3 disk RAID array with my K7N2G-ILSR Promise 20376 ?
    Im thinking of adding another SATA to a SATA / PATA Array I have.
    Presumably, (if I can) it can only be RAID0 or RAID1?
    If I have three 80GB HDD (2xSATA and 1xPATA) then presumably I can only configure as -
    RAID 0 at 3x80GB
    or
    An extremely redundant RAID1 at 80GB?
    Sorry if this is a duplication of a simple question but hours of searching hasn't found me anything on MSI, Promise and other websites.  In fact I cant find much on the PDC20376 anywhere (except thankfully the drivers) any suggestions on where to look?  The MSI "utility" seems nothing more than the drivers - am I missing the point here?
    While I'm on the forum, does anyone know how to check that my 2x512MB Ram (put in the right slots) are working properly as Dual-Channel Access?  I can't say I've noticed a speed bump.
    Thanks for any help!
    Current System -
    K7N2G-ILSR
    1GB RAM - Generic
    450Watt PSU
    AthXP3k+ With AMD's retail pack Cooler.
    Maxtor 80GB SATA + Another 60GB PATA (120GB RAID0)
    Quantum Fireball 6GB PATA For backups
    External Lacie 6GB SCSI (Quantum)

    you can only raid 0 2x drives
    raid the 2 that match and put the odd one as a second array if you like

    FIXED the problem but its not something i would recommend for someone who isn't very carefull about this. The problem is a "timming issue" to fix the problem Cut 2 of the 42 pin wires be VERY CAREFULL PLEASE!!!!! u cut the red one and the one wire next to it.. Make sure you DON'T short it. Plug the sucker back in and Walla it works.. now for thows who dont want to do this and have all the time in the world WD customer support will send you the wire if call them up that has the 2  leads already Cut.

    Hope this helps and please if you don't feel up to it don't do it! trust me is scary just thinking i could burn up my mobo ...

  • K7N2G-ILSR (MS6570G) Promise RAID Driver trouble with 1TB SATA-II HDD XP SP2

    Hi, I'm having trouble getting XP to recognise my new HDD.
    I am using a MSI K7N2G-ILSR. I already have a 40GB IDE drive I use for the OS and apps, and an 80GB drive I use for storage. I recently bought a new 1TB Samsung SATA-II drive to increase the storage.
    To begin with I simply plugged it in (port on the mobo marked SER1) and hoped XP would auto detect it. No such luck, so I used a USB to SATA convertor to connect the drive, format it, and check it worked properly. All OK, but still no result from windows when I go to the disk management settings.
    So I got out the mobo manual and followed the instructions for installing the Promise 376 SATA RAID drivers. I setup the array in fastbuild (auto setup to a single stripe 1+0 array) and it shows the drive as present and functioning. I put in the XP CD and F6'd the SCSI drivers on as directed by various google searches. That went fine but there is still no detection in XP.
    The drive came with jumper pins but no jumpers. I am slightly confused as I have read the jumpers can be used to force 150 speed from the drive, but also that SATA-II is 100% backwards compatible and doesn't need jumpers whether it's host is SATA or SATA-II.
    I have read through various threads in this forum and have not been able to find a solution. The drive works fine, the RAID bios seems to work fine, but I can't achieve a detection by XP (with SP2).
    Hope somebody can help me master this! If I've forgotten any details just ask.

    Cool, thanks. It wouldn't let me install the exe, was I supposed to change to extension to .inf? Anyway, it did let me install the Promise driver from the floppy, and that now shows properly in the device manager.
    I will reboot and report back.
    "Cool, thanks. It wouldn't let me install the exe, was I supposed to change to extension to .inf?"
    No, just run it 1st. Its self extract archive which will expand the drivers to desired location.
    "Anyway, it did let me install the Promise driver from the floppy, and that now shows properly in the device manager."
    Yes, that's the same drivers.

  • BIOS failure at startup K7N2G-ILSR

    I have just put together a new machine with a K7N2G-ILSR motherboard, an Athlon 2500+ processor, and an IDE disc, not much more than that. At startup, I get the first MSI screen, but when the BIOS screen is then shown, it disappears after about half a second. Instead I get a new screen "Scanning IDE drives", which after about a second gives the message: "No drive attached to Fast Trak controller, The BIOS is not installed".
    I cleared the CMOS, and then I actually got the BIOS screen (because it said CMOD CRC error), but the next time I restarted the machine I was back with the same problem as before.
    It is possible to enter BIOS setup if I press delete at exactly the right time when the BIOS screen flicker, but I have not find any configuration that would help. Further, after I cleared the CMOS, now my processor is not recognized in detail, it just says AMD Athlon. Before I did that, it actually said Athlon 2500+, how do I make it identify it exectly?
    I would really appreciate any advice.
    Thanks!

    Well, the manual does not say a word about the "fast trak controller" is, and it is not clear what kind of drives that are referred to in that error message. Is this only about Serial ATA drives, or what?
    What I have now figured out is that the POST screen (where it is said that DEL will take you to bios) will never appear if the full start MSI screen is enabled, which it is by default. The manual does not say a single word about this, but it refers to the POST screen as the first screen, where one can invoke the bios setup.

  • K7N2G-ILSR with 2800+ BIOS Settings

    I have just changed my CPU from a 2400+ (266mhz) processor to a 2800+ (333mhz) and it won't run with stability unless I leave the CPU FSB Clock at 133mhz (for 266mhz) as it was set before (which means that is goes to 1666mhz CPU speed instead of 2083mhz - is 2083 correct for 2800+ ?).  
    Can anyone make suggestions for the best settings to make my PC work again. It crashes, blue screens and even the post boot screen is corrupt and flashes strange chars.
    I have tried all sorts of combinations and nothing works as long as it is 166mhz FSB.  I know that without a AGP Card, it will only run DDR333 but I was hoping my DDR400 would just downclock.
    These are the settings I require
    1. System Performance - Auto?, Manual?, High Performace?
    2. CPU FSB Clock - 100?, 133?, 166?
    3. CPU Interface - Normal?, High Performance?
    4. FSB/DRAM Ratio - BY SPD?, AUTO, 1:2 etc
    5. Memory Timings
         T-(RAS)
         T-(RCD)
         T-(RP)
         XCAS Latency - 2? 2.5?
    My relevant Spec is :
    K7N2G-ILSR with AMD 2800+ Retail
    2x512mb Winbond DDR400 (In Twinbank Mode)
    450w PSU
    IDE ATA133 IBM 80gb
    Windows XP Pro
    I know I should of left it alone....Cheers in advance  ;(

    How can I tell if its a real 2800+.
    I paid for a 2800+ Retail Boxed AMD chip with fan etc in the box.  
    By stepping do you mean overclocked?
    I have tried the manual settings but it always shows jumbled letters etc on post and windows is unstable or won't boot.
    I am going out later today to buy Corsair XMS2700.  Does it matter that they are not in a bundled matched pair?  The only pair I can get from my supplier is a 1gb (2x512mb) and its very expensive (£200).

  • K7N2G-ILSR: BIOS Flashing

    I am using Win XP PRO with NTFS file system.  I plan on flashing my Bios on K7N2G-ILSR from 1.1 to 1.2.
    Should I follow the regular procedure of make a DOS boot disk from winXP and flashing it from C drive
    OR
    use the method described for "Flashing the Bios using Non Fat File Sytem" (Using RAM Drive)?
    I would really like to use the regular procedure, since it seems to be easy and I fully understand it.
    Your input will be greatly appreciated.  

    just use live update ,it does it ntfs way for you

  • SATA controller on K7N2G-ILSR "supports IDE"

    I have a K7N2G-ILSR with the onboard Promise 20376 Serial ATA controller, which supposedly supports using the IDE3 port as a separate IDE channel to connect hard drives and CDRoms and whatnot. I have not been able to simply get the SATA controller to work with IDE. I have tried connecting a hard drive and optical drives. With the single hard drive, instead of simply booting like it should, it tells me that no array is defined and asks me to create one. Since I have data on the hard drive already and don't want to risk erasing it by "creating an array", I didn't push my luck. With optical drives, it is the same story, except that of course I can't create an array with an optical drive, even if I try (nor does the setup utility let me). I am also thinking about purchasing a SATA adaptor for the hard drive, but am afraid that it is going to ask me to create an array again (again, fear of losing data). So, how do I get the IDE3 port to work as advertised? And how would I get the SATA working in a non-RAID configuration?

    They don't advertise that...
    On-Board IDE      
    An IDE controller on the MCP2/MCP2-T chipset provides IDE
       HDD/CDROM with PIO, Bus Master and Ultra DMA133/100/66
       operation modes
    Can connect up to four IDE devices
     Serial ATA Interface (Optional)  
    Support 2 serial ATA plus 1 ATA133
    - RAID O or 1 are supported
    - RAID function works w/ATA133+SATA H/D or 2 SATA H/D
    • Connect up to 2 Serial ATA devices and 1 ATA133 device  
    This is from the website, I don't see that they say you can use the SATA as regular IDE drives...they are part of the raid controller period...the misconception comes by thinking it's used like we use a regular IDE but you have to create an array as I said in order to use them...you can select one of the raid drives to use as a boot drive via the BIOS but you have to enable the drive in the raid setup before it's accessible thus creating a seemingly IDE device...I don't have any SATA drives here atm so wasn't able to test this part of the MB yet...and I've beat my board into submission now and have to RMA it from doing so much testing with it...if I do get another one I'll see about getting a SATA drive and see what it does when I load the drivers for the raid in a non-raid setup and post my results...I agree that they don't explain it well either but I've never thought the manuals were written the best for most boards out there since English isn't their first language...something gets lost in the interpretation unfortunately heheheh The raid doesn't support opticals at all so that's not an option here...
    Hope that helps...
    Cheers!! 8)

    Mandiven, I had a similar issue where it would boot and get stuck on the logo screen.  My diagnostic LED's also showed two green, two red.
    When I removed the all the IDE connectors from the motherboard, I was able to finally get into the bios, which suggested to me that the problem may be my IDE drives.  At this point, I remembered an issue my girlfriend had on her computer over a year ago with her hard drive (same model as mine) where her drive wouldn't allow her ABIT KT7 MB to boot.  We both have the WD600AB model.  My previous MB was an Asus K7M, which did not exhibit this issue.
    The 'solution' that I found on the Western Digital Forums was modify the IDE cable by cutting PIN 1 (on a 40-Pin Ribbon Cable) or PINS 1 & 2 (on an 80-Pin Ribbon Cable).  PIN 1 is normally the wire with the red stripe.  If your WD is on the end plug, make the cut between the two IDE device plugs so that it doesn't affect the second device.  Also, to make sure the cut is complete, cut it twice and remove the gap.
    From what I understand, this doesn't affect the integrity of the data nor does it have any performance penalties.  If you'd rather not cut the cable yourself, WD may ship you a modified cable free of charge.  You'd need to visit their forums/website for more information.
    If you've got a spare cable to test with, give it a shot.  Once I snipped pins 1&2, my K7N2G-ILSR has been running beautifully!  

  • USB 2.0 problem (K7N2G-ILSR and HP PSC 2210)

    I'm using a K7N2G-ILSR mainboard in combination with a HP PSC 2210 all-in-one printer. The printer sometimes stops printing and produces an error. The print can not be deleted and I have to reset the computer.
    I'm using the latest HP drivers for the printer, Windows XP Pro with all Windows Update fixes and the latest upgrades for teh mainboard (Live-Update).
    Is this a known error and is there a fix/workaround (can I set the USB in the BIOS to 1.1 only (instead of 1.1 and 2.0)??
    According to HP it is related to the chipset and the USB driver. Until now I have not find a document explaining the problem for this mainboard and a proper solution.
    Does anyone have an idea?
    Thanks for your help!

    Cables are cables still at this point in the game so it could be that you have a faulty cable but there are no special 2.0 cables to buy...
    Never been a big fan of the All-in-one printer/scanner/copiers, I've had nothing but problems most of the time when my clients buy them...but they still buy them...if you think about it they really only came out just over a year and a half ago so that technology isn't quite mature yet...
    I doubt that it has anything to do with your setup directly, it sounds like a driver issue and one that's clashing with another driver that's used for something else in your machine...no I don't know what cause I don't know what you are using in your system heheheh
    I had a client that bought one of the newer photo printers, why I don't know cause he doesn't even own a digital camera, but he just had to have one, but anyway, it would error out everytime he tried to print to it...I reloaded his system and systematically added in one component at a time...writing down everything I did...when I put in his ATI All-In-Wonder card and loaded the software for the TV part lo and behold when I printed I got the error again...couldn't fix it for my life either with all the newest drivers from ATI and HP...went backwards in time for older drivers to no avail...the guy stiffed me on the bill for over $1000.00 and I've not heard from him again so I can't tell you if he fixed it or not at this point...
    Cheers!! 8)
