K8N SLI FI cant see my sata,s

just built the pc all working fine except it will not see my sata drives at all
i have enable all in the bios and also used my pata drives to get into raid setup, which worked
the drives just do nothing(there is power there and they are spinning)
also cannot be seen in windows(sp1)
i am at a loss as to what to try next
ive probably just set the bios wrong but i cant see where as the are only 2 menus which i think effect the satas and they also dont show in the basic config section when raid is diabled
please help

the only option in the bios is to load optimal settings,which i did,still no sign of them, is that the default option?
i have tryed differant sata cables (all of them the msi version) to no avail
the drives were in my old pc and were used as a bootable raid with no probs. they still (in theory)have the data on them but im not interested in keeping the data.
they were previously running on a msi neo2 board and worked with the promise raid bios
both drives have run for around 7000hours and did not seem to have any errors on them
do they need to be wiped first or somthing i dont know how i can do it though as i have no mbs left to run them on apart from the current

Help understanding SATA on K8N SLI Plat

Looking in the manual for my K8N Sli Plat, it mentions support sata 5 and 6 - but how do I actually get those physical ports?
Also, and more importantly, the manual claims speeds of upto 300 mb/s on each port but also says. That the connectors are fully compatible with SATA 1.0 specifications. Does this mean that it will or will not function properly with the following HD; http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?IBM-HDS728 ? Thanks.

Hmm.
Are you talking about the K8N SLI Platnium or K8N SLI? You said K8N SLI Plat
The K8N SLI Platnium has the 2 Silicon Image ports on the very bottom of the board by the last PCI slot and are purple.
The K8N SLI does not have the Silicon Image Controller.
The Diamond and the Platnium are identical you can even use the BIOS's interchangeably. But if you have the Diamond you get to be a cool guy and be in an MSI club...oooo....aaaahhh
Edit: What's weird is after looking more into this the newest Platniums don't have it??? If you look at Rev 1.1 of the SLI Platnium manual it's there but it rev 1.3 it's gone. Of course MSI's website still shows it being on the platnium. So maybe I'm wrong then, Wonkaboy may be right for your board it sounds like. Guess it depends on when and where you buy your board. I looked online and a few retailers have boards with the Silicon Image ports and some do not. Maybe you have the old manual with the newer board???...
I know the 3 SLI Plats I have seen all have them.

SATA 3GB/s Setting In WINXP Pro SP2 For K8N SLI/FI

I have been trying to resolve this issue for a while with no sucess. I have contacted numerous sources and no one can solve this so I hope you people can.
I have two SATA II 3GB/s HDDs installed on a MSI K8N SLI/FI w/ver. 1.8 BIOS. I cannot get these drives to run at 3GB/s. The drives are a WD2500KS w/02.01C03 firmware and a Seagate ST3250410AS - Barracuda 7000.10 w/3.AAA firmware. All jumpers are removed from each drive. I have tried diff. SATA cables. You name it, I tried it. This includes loading and not loading SATA driver via F6 at OS install time and using diff nVidia SATA drivers; 6.66, 6.99, etc.
The problem is that when I view the speed setting options for the nVidia SATA controller in WIN XP Pro SP2, I see all three options shown 1.5 GB, 3.0 GB, and PIO 4 with 1.5 GB set as default. I have tried to manually override to 3 GB but upon reboot, it goes back to 1.5 GB? The Seagate drive has NCQ enabled by default.
I looked at the SATA driver WIN XP registry entries for each drive and SataSpeedSupported is 3 and SataSpeedAllowed is 1? Also appears UDMA is being downgraded from 128 to 64? I have tried to override both these only again to have XP reset them back to their original values on reboot. It is as if XP will not allow any option above 1.5GB?
Finally, the drive speeds are great. I am getting avg. sustained speeds of 80 MB/s on the Seagate and around 60 MB/S on the WD per HD Tach. Also appears that the drives are running in ATA133 mode?
Is their a problem with XP SP2B recognizing newer SATA 3GB/s HDDs

As far as peaks and valleys on the HD Tach display, it's fairly smooth. Starts in the low 80s and goes to about 90 for the first 120GB or so and then gradually drops to around 50 at the end of the drive. When I was running with the default MS default PCI IDE drivers, I was getting a few large downward spikes.
Use BIOS defaults is set on by default. Setting it on or off makes no difference in setting or performance.
As far as BIOS setting to 1.5GB that's what I thought initially but on a EPOX nForce board I have that only supported 1.5GB, the 3GB option was never shown as an option. So it appears to me that the BIOS is indeed passing the 3GB setting to XP. It looks to me like XP is downgrading these drives to 1.5GB and for the life of me. I can't figure out why. What I did as a prior experiment was to set the SataSpeedActive to 2 and bumbed up the UDMASupported registry settings to the max. 127. That resulted in the 3GB option being shown as the default. Ran a couple of benchmarks at that setting but results were the same as 1.5GB except that the max. speed bar on the nVidia SATA controller showed 300MB. When I rebooted as I stated previously, the settings went back to 1.5GB in the SATA controller display.
What I am wondering is if there was an earlier ver. of the m/b that only supported 1.5GB? I bought this board a couple of months ago from the MSI online store and it was an open box sale. What is strange is the four SATA board connectors are orange and every pic. I have seem of this m/b on the web shows purple connectors? MSI swears the board I have supports 3GB SATA?
On other point. Everest shows the SATA port transfer speed at 300MB in both it's Windows and ATA device displays?
Also, when I look at the driver properties, it is shown as a PCI device. Is that right? If somehow these drives were running off the PCI bus instead of the CK08-04 chip, that would explain the speed limit factor.

K8N SLI SATA HD reboot problem

I built my system from scratch and have had it running for well over a year now (mayb two years?) with a K8N SLI-F mobo and Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 PATA without problems, in fact, I've been quite happy.
Then I bought the Hitachi T7K500 SATA and my system has been hell ever since.
My procedurals:
1) unplug PATA and plug in SATA
2) boot to OS CD
3) format SATA and install OS
6) install drivers
7) install firewall
8) system reboots a few moments after loading desktop and doesn't stop until I shut it down manually
I did attach my SATA with a SATA cable to my mobo's SATA port.
I did follow correct procedures for installing OS, drivers and firewall (rebooting each time and being very careful).
I did try installing OS using SATA drivers that came on floppy with the mobo
I have reinstalled the OS three times and have been working on my pc for nine hours straight, not including breaks for meals.

I RMA the new drive because support recommended I replace the drive, my problem occurred only when I tried to install the new drive (was hardware related), I had thirty days to replace it and it certainly can't hurt. Why do you think I RMA a working drive btw?
Let me rephrase my question: how do I update my BIOS when I cannot make a bootable floppy and cannot boot to the OS?
thanks for all your help so far.

I suspect that from the beggining.. Also tests maked after that and further info requested, confirm my suspicions.
"I had thirty days to replace it and it certainly can't hurt."
kk..
"Let me rephrase my question: how do I update my BIOS when I cannot make a bootable floppy and cannot boot to the OS?"
Well in those condition, do that:
When your HDD replacement come, proceed as usual and install XP SP2,(you should be able to do that) and see if problem persist or not.
If problem is still there...(i expect to be still there, but could be wrong ofcourse...), then:
* Try with different power cable for that drive.
* Try with different data cable for that drive.
Re-test, if no change:
Update your BIOS to the latest one version 1.8, you can download it from here:

SATA II Drive on K8N - SLI Mobo

Hello Folks,
Please can you give a few words of wisdom on the following topic:
I've recently upgraded to the K8N - SLI mobo with AMD 64 3200 CPU, 1GB ram and a Hitachi 250gb SATA II drive.
I booted from the WinXP disc, selected F6 to install additional raid drivers, accepted, and proceeded to install XP which works fine. The system boots ok but the BIOS (flashed using MS Live Update to version 2) shows the drive as 5th IDE master, and then WinXP "system, device manager" shows the drive as Primary ATA.
Is that right? It works but how do i know it has detected it up right?
I've disconnected my original 2 hard drives from IDE1 for simplicity, and the 2 optical drives load fine on the IDE2 cable. My RAID drivers come from the Nvidia site since i didn't get a diskette with the OEM drive.
Did i need to install the drivers from a floppy (i have an MSI CD)?
When asked for 2 separate drivers which should come first, the RAID driver or the STORAGE CONTROLLER?
Is everything normal? Should the drive be called SATA type somewhere?
Many thanks for your help.
mick

Thanks for the reply there Petrol. I thought the raid drivers were the name for the SATA drivers i.e. one and the same thing, so although I will not use RAID, I think i need still need the RAID/SATA driver?
I thought I had just cracked it- a short time after providing the extra 2 RAID drivers during the boot, WinXP asked me again for the RAID driver (which i read elsewhere was a good sign!).
It appeared to boot faster or was it just my imagination hoping for a result?Then once the WinXP desktop had come on, it appeared to load some more drivers.
Still when i look in "System....Device manager" the driver is from Windows from 2001 so can't be up to date?
Has it managed to write over the top of the newer SATA drivers during the final part of the install (if so how to turn it off?)?
thanks again

Can anyone verify K8N Neo4-F is SATA I as K8N- SLI is SATA II

I read on the MSI info sheet the K8N Neo4-F is SATA 150 and the K8N- SLI is SATA 300. Does anyone know for sure.
Both use Nvraid so I thought they might be the same. It's not a really big deal but i'd be nice if the K8N Neo4-F was SATAII.
Also are there any sata HD's that are known to be incompatible with these two Mobo's
Thanks in advance for your input

Be forewarned - I have a Neo4 Platinum and it will not work with Maxtor DiamondMax 10 205GB SATA-II. It will only work when jumpered to SATA-I mode. There are lots of people out there with nForce4 boards that haven't been able to get SATA-II running...

Difference between K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI and K8N-SLI Platinum

Hey guys.... I have one question and i hope you can help me.
I'm about to get an MSI SLI Platinum motherboard, but it seems that there are two versions, the K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI and the K8N-SLI Platinum.
What is the real difference between them? As i can see in the manual, the Neo4 version has the additional SATA2 and Gbit LAN controller.
Anyone: Does your K8N-SLI board have 4 or 6 SATA2 ports? and 1 or 2 LANs?
At this picture http://www.midtdata.dk/asp/index.asp?varernr=K8N-SLI-PLAT&goto=productinfo&mainfunc=link I can see that there are 6 blue SATA connectors (lower right corner), and 2 LAN ports left to the LPT port... But the description says 4 SATA and 1 LAN, and so says the manual.
To all owners of this mobo: Does this picture look like your K8N-SLI Platinum or does it look like your K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI ?

MSI k8N SLI Platinum - dead??

Hello,
I have started the PC as per usual. Pushed the power button... nothing. Then again... nothing. Then I swithed off from the switch near the mains entry. and switched on... PC started however I get nothing on the screen. No beeps.
I have an Antec Truecontrol 2.0 power supply, an MSI K8N SLI Platinum (socket 939) with AMD Athlon, 2 GB Corsair TWINX Ram, three HDDS SATA, Raptor 75GB as Primary (C:) and another two WDS. Video Card: BFG 7800GTX+ 256MB OC, PCI - Express.
System has functioned Ok for three and a half years at least. I have replaced the Northbridge Fan from the beginning with a Blue heatsink - I believe Zalman. No temp issues. No overclocking, I am not using any commander modes etc etc.
When I look at the D-Bracket I get Memory Init Error (RED-GReen-Red-Red). I am pretty sure it is not the RAM. I pulled the RAM, used only one stick... same error.
I pulled the video card out. Then interestingly the system reaches the phase just before booting and the D_Bracket shows Floppy Init error (Green-Red-Green-Green). I tried moving the video card to the second PCI -ex - I also reach the Floppy Error point. I put in a crappy PIC-Ex video card - I reach the same Floppy init point - the floppy actually seeks but does not try to read. Unfort I forgot where I put the Monitor adapter thingy so I can;t check if I get anything on the screen with the crappy PCI-Ex video card. Will get it... soon...
I have a hard time determining whether it is the Video card or the mainboard. I have pulled the battery out, left overnight, pushed the BIOS reset... nothing helped. With Video Card in PCI-Ex slot 1, I get the memory init error. With the card in PCI-Ex slot 2 or with no card or with crappy PCI-Ex, I get to the Floppy Init point.
Could it be that at that point I would be getting a VGA error that I cannot see on the screen ? Why then NO BEEPS? Does this Mobo model not beep, just uses the D-Bracket?
It is important - if it is the mobo I am done for, I have to buy Mobo, RAM, CPU... $1,000. If it is the Video card I may find something 1 slot wide and similar to the BFG ...
Can anyone help narrow this please ?
BTW on the screen I get NOTHING, if I pull out the cable the monitor says - check connection, if I plug it in the monitor goes to power saving.
Thank you Heaps

Put a stick of memory in there of el-cheapo brand.
Those Corsairs you have need more voltage to start if I'm not mistaken.
Found out what the prob was - the BFG 7800GTX was DEAD. RMA-ed the card. the MSI Mobo is Ok

So, is a -5V pin supply still required for MSI K8N SLI Platinum or not ???

I am looking to buy a new custom made computer. I want the MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboard for it. The problem is that the non-USA page claims that it requires the -5V pin supply. I have read many threads on this same topic, but havent found a definitve answer.
Is the -5V rail still needed or not ???
I read somewhere that USA models dont require it, as its not mentioned on the USA site. Well my one will most probably be from Taiwan.....
Is there a check, through which I can confirm whether the motherboard my local hardware store is selling, requires a -5V pin supply or not???
lastly, is that a specific model number, from which onwards, the requirement is no longer needed ????
thanx in advance

I agree with SAB only because mine has been rock solid for quite some time. If I could afford it, I would have purchased SAB's PC Power & Cooling 510 model.
The only other model that seems to have the -5v rail are the OCZ psu. However, I have noticed a lot of users with tagan's and have yet to see someone complain about this psu. Im running the 12v rail as a single rail at 30a...you can experiment with the dual rails and it will adjust to the need of your mobo up to 20a on each rail but then the other rail gets only 10a (at least I think thats how it works).
The tagan 480w u22 was built for the future:
1. has a 20/24 pin main power connector - shielded
2. a 4/8 pin cpu power connector - shielded
3. 2 - 6pin vga connectors - shielded
4. 4 - sata hdd connectors
5. Whisper quiet - you just dont hear it
6. 12v rail at 30a - peak load at startup to 35a for 60 seconds
7. 70% to 73% efficiency rating
Is it enough juice? It seems to me that the manufacturers have realized that pretty soon we will have to purchase $500 psu's just to keep up. So IMO, the manufacturers seem to be getting the point. The new 90nm AMD chips take less power than the 130nm chips...and the new 7800gt video cards take up less power than the 6800gt video cards. In the future, AMD will be coming out with a 65nm chip, which will need even less power.
So I think Im right at the sweet spot with the 12v@30a and its also flexible enough to switch to a dual rail system if I need that feature in the future. Tagan does make a 530w and 580w psu too, but they are not as quiet and you only get 2 more amps on the 12v rail as you go up the line. Just my 2 cents.

Serius Problem K8N-SLI

Hi my name is Emiliano, look, i have a lot of bug with your Mmotherboard (K8N-SLI).
Don't know if are drivers, BIOS, or a hard problem, so please help me.
This games doesn't works fine:
Neverwinter Nights
Bug: After a while the game accelerate too much that become impossible to play.
Dragonshard
Bug: Same as Nevewinter Nights.
Painkiller
Bug: Same as Nevewinter Nights.
Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic II
Bug: Same as Nevewinter Nights.
Star Wars: Empire At War
Bug: Crash and back to windows when finish loading the menu but no error message.
Fable: The Lost Chapter
Bug: Crash and back to windows sometimes when playing. No error message.
Breath Of Fire 4
Bug: Crash and back to windows after playing a while. No error message.
Now, I have tryed a lot of driver version for the video card, this is the list:
66.93
67.03
84.21
81.98
91.31
No way, its all the same.
However, when i install Omega Drivers games doesn't have the bugs i report.
With Omega Drivers (ForceWare 66.93) i have different bugs, when i'am playing and i go back to windows,
sometimes windows crash and reboot, or when i'm running some application with OpenGl or Direct3D the monitor shutdown and i'am forced to reboot.
I change my video card (geforce 6600 GTnVidia Drivers) with another, ATIATi Drivers, i don't remember the model now, but nothing happened, bugs still works fine (¬¬"). I try my video card (geforce 6600GT) in another motherboard, and obviusly works fine without any bugs.
So, i think that is the motherboard, now i try out this things to see if some drivers was unstable:
- Disable sound.
- Disable Onboard LAN
- Disable PCI Bridge
- Disable PCI Memory Controller
- Disable SMBUS
Nothing change, i should update the BIOS, but, when i read the notes for the 1.6 about fixed bugs:
2. This BIOS fixes the following problem of the previous version:
- Add safety recover function to revert BIOS into default setting when system unable to boot due to overclocking.
I supposed that has nothing to do with my bugs...
No Hardware is overheating !!.
With others games i don't have any problems, like:
Age Of Empires III
The Battle For Middle-earth II
Doom 3
Please help me in some way becouse don't know what to do.
this is my complete configuration:
MSI K8N-SLI NForce 4
Athlon 64 X2 4200+
GeForce 6600 GT 128MB
1 Kingston GB RAM
3 SATA HD
1 DVD-RW LG IDE
1 DVD-Rom SAMSUNG IDE
1 CD-RW LG IDE
400W Supply
Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2
DirectX 9.0
I have all drivers Update, except the BIOS.
I'm sure is the motherboard becouse i try my video card in another computer, another MSI motherboard, and works fine, sorry if i don't remember the model, i just remember that was not a SLI motherboard.
Somebody toldme that can be the PCIE drivers, but, theres no way to update it..... or i don't know it.
And sorry for my bad englis !.
Plz help me !!

Problems with older PCI-Videocards on K8N SLI Platinum ??

Hi there,
i just recieved my K8N SLI Platinum (without NEO) yesterday. Unfortunatly my new PCIe-Videocard isn't here yet,
so i just built my rig with an old S3 Trio64 to install Windows etc. and to have at least my PC for some surfing and so on...
The problem is:
The Card is marked with an ! in the device-manager. It says the card couldn't get its required resources, and that i'd have to
disable some other device of the system first to fully use the videocard. I checked for IRQ's, but the card has an exclusive one.
I put it in the second (middle) PCI-Slot on the board. Due to that error, the drivers are not installed correctly and the performance
of the display is ... well its even to slow for scrolling pages while surfing ... thats realy anoying, and my PCIe-card will not be here
until the end of next week
I even manged to get another old PCI-dinosaur, but with no luck. The same Problem persists. So i think it's some problem with
the board or some iossettings. The only thing regarding display in the bios was the PCIe / PCI switch which is correctly set to PCI.
So if anyone knows how to get an old PCI-card running in that board, please help me
[ApoC]

Well,
"f***ing up" the OS is not a problem, i got a GHOST of my perfectly fresh & clean OS.
I have disabled:
both SATA-Controllers (still running on good old ATA Samsung SpinPoint P80)
the FireWire-Controller (which is shown in Windows anyways )
I changed the videocard from PCI 2 to PCI 1, with the only result that it shares IRQ with the OnBoard-Soundblaster in slot1.
In slot2 it gets an exclusive IRQ. The problem is, i can't even see what resources are making trouble since Windows doesn't
show any information in the cards resource-infos but that it ain't working (say what?)
*sigh*
[ApoC]
Edith says:
I remember problems with the APIC-Mode on many nForce-2 Boards. Could this still be a problem? Any infos on that matter yet?

MSI K8N SLI Platinum vs 1.5TB Western Digital

Hi Everyone,
I have recently been having some issues with my K8N SLI platinum and hoping I could get some help on resolving the issue.
For the past 2 years i have been running the machine with multiple SATA drives (160GB{boot} and 300GB) and have now tried to add an additional 1.5TB WD and have encountered some problems. If i put my 1.5TB into a USB enclosure and then connect it to my machine it is recognized perfectly and I am able to write and read from the drive, However if i put it into my machine as a secondary HDD my computer fails to boot.
First when i put the drive in my computer no longer boots to windows. It gets to post and loads the drives (including the new drive) and then wont go any further. PC seems to stall and wont allow me to get to the BIOS.
I boot up the machine without the drive connected and go into the BIOS and then reconnect the drive. If i do a HDD Scan on SATA3 then the drive will be recognized (however capacity is only 136GB).
My first thoughts were that it was a bios related issue so I have updated the Bios to the latest (3.C according to LiveUpdate) and am still having the same issue. Im not really sure where to go from now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Tim

Hello! Please say what your system looks like. Include what PSU you are using.
Try a different cable.
Jumper the disk to SATA 1.
Try the disk in a different system.

Very slow USB on K8N SLI Platinum & Windows XP SP2

Hi!
I.e. deleting a folder with small 6000 files (all together they have ~50MB) from USB device lasts according to Windows about 100 minutes.
I've got K8N SLI Platinum with BIOS version 3.70, Windows XP SP2 with all updates and some recent nVidia nForce driver (however I'm not sure which version exactly).
In "Device manager" it looks like the USB driver is from Microsoft from year 2001. Are there some new drivers or something that can help to increase USB performance?
Thanks in advance

Usb's as stick say can't be compared to drives attached to a ide controller.
But you can check to make sure it's running at 2.0 speed like this.
If you look in device manager - on the view on menu - select "view devices by connection" .
Then expand the tree down to USB Enhanced (EHCI) and see if the "disk" is attected to this controller.
If it is you running usb2.0.
Here you see Verbatim Stor'n Go Usb 2.0 thumbdrive attached to the Standard Enhanced EHCI Controller (Usb 2.0)
The other circle shows a bluetooth device runnings as usb 1.1 and attached to the Standard OHCD Controller (Usb 1.1)
An other thing that slows it down is that cache is disabled ("optimized for quick removal") .
