K8t neo 2 ver 2.0 and two sata drives acting up

Hi all: I have had a single 1 terabyte sata drive on my k8t neo2 for a year now and no problems with it. I also have an IDE 200 gig boot drive that windows is on.
Last week I installed a 2nd 1.5 terabyte drive as an archive storage drive and now am having wierd problems.
 I was copying files from the 1 terabyte drive(E drive) to the 1.5 tera drive(F drive) and noticed copying was really slow. I ran HD tach and it said both drives were reading around 3 meg/second.
I then rebooted, went into Bios and it said the 2 SATA drives were set for RAID. I switched them to IDE, rebooted and now windows ran a disk check on the new F (1.5)drive. I did not notice if it had errors or not.
I then tried hdtach again and am getting 80 mb/second on the old E drive and 78 on the new F drive. (I cant recall the exact numbers but they were really high)
GREAT
 I copied about 200 gig of files and the copying went nicely, and seemed to me to copy fast as they should. Than I had a weird bug I have had for 3 years, and had to reboot (unrelated bug)
Now when the system booted it did another disk check on the new F drive, found about 6 errors and when in Windows hd tach once again says both sata drives are running at around 3 mb/second. I manually tried copying files, and yes they were horribly slow.
SO another reboot, switching back to RAID in Bios. System did not do a disk check this time, and now I am back to a fast 80 meg/second speeds on both SATA drives.
The IDE drive stays around 50 meg/second and does not seem to be affected.
Please note, these speeds I report are from HD tach, but I also manually copy files using file manager and time them with a stop watch and can tell they are horrible times. By a factor of 10 at least slower.
I have a new sata cable installed on the new 1.5 drive. The k8t manual says I have  the 8237r plus chip set and I have read this supposedly can read 1.5 drives fine. It did as far as I know because the drive install went perfectly and worked the first try, it just was slow acting and I noticed these drive problems.
 my questions.
1) I do not want any raid capability. Shouldn't I leave the SATA bios setting set to IDE mode?
2) If I am supposed to set it for RAID then do I need to install windows RAID drivers? and if so, what mode RAID? I want no mirroring or anything like that. I just want a 2nd SATA drive to archive my movie database to.
3) Is the new 1.5 drive bad?
Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you both for answering. I have a new, less than month old Thermaltake butterfly 475 watt PSU. I have both sata drives on separate data cables, but they share the same Power supply cable. I made sure the sata data cables have nice big turns in them, no kinks or sharp edges.  The sata ports on this motherboard are not in an optimal location for drive bays thats for sure.
I only had the one sata power cable out of the PSU. It has 2 sata power plugs on its end. My IDE drive has a seperate molex power line. My video card has a separate molex cable, and the DVD and floppy drive are sharing a molex power cable from the PSU. I can get you the bus amperages later if needs be.
1) The bug I have had, is caused by my uninterrupted power supply. Sometimes when I do a cold boot, it installs 30-50 instances of its UPS program service. This has happened maybe 5 times in the past 3 years, so it does not really concern me. I just do another cold boot and it runs correctly and only has the 1 instance as it should.
Of course it just HAD to happen when I was debugging these other hard drive woes.
They both are sata II drives. I did not set their jumpers because I thought the motherboard was supposed to read sata II fine, just not run at those speeds.
WL1000GSA1672   1 terabyte worked fine for 1.5 years now.
WL1500GSA3272C  1.5 terabyte.  new a week ago.
 The IDE drive I did not record the brand, it is a generic 200 gig drive. I cant even recall who makes it. Probably 4 years old now. This IDE drive is my windows boot drive as well.
Doing all this from memory since I have very limited Internet on this bad computer.
winXP service pack 3
dual core athalon 2800 I believe.
Gskill 2 gig memory good quality, I cant recall its specs off hand.
Nvidia 7600 GS 512 meg memory
thermaltake PSU 475W
Thermaltake CPU fan. copper core.
I cold booted 3 times now and after boot I run HD tach and it shows 78-80 meg speeds. I saw no disk checks come up. I watched closely. I also ran a manual disk check and it found no errors.
At this time I have around 250 gig on the new 1.5 terabyte drive.
I hesitate to backup any more until I can trust things, or have some idea what caused this problem.
 In case you are wondering why I installed the new drive. I only had around 40 gig left on the single terabyte drive and maybe 20 gig left on the 200 gig IDE drive.
So my thoughts were to transfer off alot of video and images from the other 2 drives to give them more free space and head room.
It has been my long suffering experience in the past that when drives get close to their capacity limits they start suffering problems.
Thank you awl once again.

  • HELP !  Two SATA drives in an external enclosure RAID ZERO.  Need data recovery.

    What a nightmare !     My neighbor died from esophageal cancer and the funeral is in one week.  He left behind a G5 2.5 DP tower with a dead motherboard, and he put the two 640 GB SATA drives in an Other World Computing external enclosure Mercury Elite Pro Dual) weeks before  he expired.  He got access to these drives in this enclosure.  (External RAIDs are a no-no).
    His grieving wife wants pictures extracted from the drives.  There is no known back up and the G5 tower cannot be found.
    When connecting the external enclosure by FW800 or USB3, the need to format flag pops up.  Disk Utility shows one 1400 GB drive "unformatted".    The DIP switches on the enclosure are set to RAID 0.   Several data recovery programs find files, but of course any jpg over 50kb looks like venetian blinds,  Tried Data Rescue 3, and the drive depicted as 1280 GB does not divide using expert features and the command key, thus a RAID SET for emulation cannot be formed.  See here: See here: http://www.prosofteng.com/blog/recovering-data-from-a-apple-raid-using-data-resc ue-3-by-prosoft-engineering-2/ 
    What to do now to recover jpg's intact and ASAP ?
    1.  Try another enclosure ?
    2.  Insert these drives into my personal G5 tower ?
    3.  Try different data recovery software ?
    4.  Which software other than Data Rescue will recover from two drives in one external enclosure believed to be RAID ZERO ?
    Thank you.

    Yes, if and when the tower can be located and retrieved.   In one communication it was described as a G4, in another, a G5.
    Turns out that a single external drive was found, so suspect that is the boot drive.  In the mean time, am doing an emulated recovery (two sets) using two converter boxes to isolate the two SATA drives, assuming RAID 0 and 32kb striped,   The two sets and because the drive order is unknown.   The first recovery is almost completed.
    BTW, OWC rep stated that the two drives cannot be read in their dual SATA enclosure.  The rep stated that the drives would have to be reformatted while in thier enclosure, then use.  Tried two enclosures to see if they would read the drives independently, and one brand had a silly interface.   One has to put in two "dummy drives" (or ones in which the data is not important) and then convert the electronics (reset switch + power button) to RAID 0.

  • Can I config. a SSD with two SATA drives on a RAID pro card?

    Hello,
    I'm planning to order the new Mac Pro (hexa 3.33) and want to run OS X and my main applications off of it for speed. I was planning to get two SATA drives and connect them with a RAID pro card. Is this set up compatible (i.e. running an SSD with a RAID pro card installed in the system)?
    The reason why I'm asking is that on the APPLE build your MAC site there is a note about the RAID pro card:
    "Note: Solid-state drives are not compatible with the Mac Pro RAID Card in either RAID or Enhanced JBOD mode. To add a solid-state drive to your Mac Pro in any drive bay, you must deselect the Mac Pro RAID Card."
    Thanks for your help guys (and gals)

    Thanks. I have the Apple RAID card in my Early 2008 Mac Pro and it's served me reasonably well. I use it for RAID-5 and I don't care about booting Windows so that's not an issue for me (though I confess that I hadn't even considered the implications for Windows).
    I bought the system with one Apple drive (a 1TB Hitachi) and added three additional Seagate 1TB drives and have had no problems beyond the need to replace a failed drive, and in that case the array was rebuilt and the system is behaving well again.
    Ah, so you're talking about third-party SATA controllers that go in a PCI Express slot, to which one would connect a third-party RAID enclosure via eSATA, is that correct?
    Concerning the additional SATA ports on the Mac Pro motherboard: I don't know about the just-announced models, but MacSales was/is selling a SATA cable for the prior model--apparently that model has one additional SATA port (not two) on the motherboard.
    By the way: I had a question in another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2545031) about whether it's possible to upgrade my Apple-card-managed RAID-5 array in place. If you (or anyone else with expertise) could take a quick look, I'd appreciate it.

  • G4 MDD and WD SATA Drive Connection

    G4 MDD and WD SATA Drive Connection
    My G4: G4 MDD firewire 400 model, Single 1.25 - Dual Boot. Running OS 10.3.9 and 9.2.2
    I just ordered parts from OWC, on their way here. Sorry about ALL these questions but I'm new to this.
    I purchase a Firmtek Seritek 1S2 controller card and 2 WD SATA Internal Drives. A - WD 640 GB SATA HD "For my Boot Drive", and a - WD 320GB SATA HD that I will use for a Scratch Drive.
    Question 1 :
    The Seritek 1S2 is a 2 port "1.5GB" Card. My 2 new Drives are set to "3GB".
    Will I have to change the "Jumper Settings" on the Hard Drives for this Card?
    Do you know what pins to but the jumper block on?
    Question 2 :
    For Power connection I also, purchased 2 - 15 pin to 4 pin power Adapters, so I wouldn't have to put the drives in upside down for better alignment for mounting the screws in the cages.
    The WD Drives come with both the 4 pin connection and the 15 pin connection for power. Would using the power Adapters be alright? Is there any difference with power consumption from the HD's to the 4 pin Molex in the G4? Does this setup work alright with my machine's power requirements? And the H.D's power requirements? OR, is it better/safer to just stick with the G4's 4 pin Molex connector and put the drives in upside down?
    Question 3 :
    I also purchased 2 - 18" Data cables 90 degree Left Angle, so I won't have a problem closing the door on my G4.
    Which left angle end goes where for this? On the HD's or the Card?
    I will be putting the 640 GB in the Rear Cage and the 320 GB in the Front Cage.
    Each Cage Holds 2 drives each. For better heat protection, should I put the drives in the outer or inner drive carrier slots?
    Question 4 :
    I'd figure I would place the 1S2 Card in the Third PCI slot. Does it matter which slot to put the card in?
    Question 5 :
    I plan on Cloning my original 80 GB drive to my new 640 GB drive. I would be using Super Duper for this. After that I will be putting my 80 GB dive in a external firewire case I also purchased, to use it as a back up.
    I was told I should keep the 80 GB drive in my G4 and Clone the drive to the new drive using Disk Utility that is in my 80 GB drive already. Using Disk Utility to Partition my drives then Format the drives both journeled. Would that work alright? Or do I have to use the Boot CD to do that?
    Then I would use Super Duper to clone. Then choose the new cloned drive in system profiler to start up on that drive to see if everything is OK. Then reset the pram, and then I can remove my 80 GB to put in the case for backups. Does this sound like a good procedure to do?
    Sorry for all the questions! But, this is the first time I'm doing anything like this. I would really appreciate any help I could get with these questions before I start doing this. Thanks!

    Do you mean making 3 Partitions on the 640? 1- OS and Apps, 2 - 50-80 GB Free Space for Swap Files or do you mean Project files, such as Starting a Photoshop or Video File? Is that what you mean? And a third partition to store my other Data files?
    With a second drive dedicated to scratch, I would install the OS and all applications on one partition. If the total software requirements are 50GB, I would make a 100-150GB partition. I think larger would be better, so as software and OS needs don't overlap as software is running. The 50-80GB free space is *included with* the OS and applications.
    With the remaining 450-500GB, I would leave as one partition for all project files and data to be placed on. If one type of file dominates all other, for instance, photo files, I might consider splitting that remainder for a dedicated photo file volume, with a third partition for the rest.
    When deciding on the OS/App's partition size, try to anticipate near future software install. Don't want to run out of room.
    For instance, I have a SATA WD Raptor as my boot drive. OS and applications only, with approx 60GB of OS and software, and the rest free space (of the formatted 140GB total of the 150GB drive.
    On a second drive, a SATA WD 640GB, I have three partitions- 100GB for data, documents, mail, etc., one 300GB for photos, and one 200GB for music.
    A third drive, a SATA 300GB Maxtor, is used for PS scratch, as a target for scans, music file encoding, target for downloads, any file that is "temporary" in nature. When work is done, the files are moved to the respective locations, and the drive is cleared.
    I also have a fourth ATA Seagate 120GB drive, that I keep OS 9, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 each on a respective partition, with necessary and OS specific applications for each OS. This serves as my troubleshooting/emergency boot volume.
    This helps keep me organized, and allows plenty of free space for system operation.
    There are lots of different ways to set up ones drives, but I find that my current setup gives me the desired performance and keeps me from getting cluttered.
    A final note, with whatever setup you create, have the appropriate sized external drives for backups of all drive volumes. I use firewire and eSATA connected SATA WD 640GB, ATA Seagate 500GB, and an ATA Maxtor 160GB for cloning all my files, systems and app's.

  • K8T Neo creates 'phantom' RAM and won't recognise the real stuff...

    I have just replaced my computer's motherboard and CPU, from an ancient ASUS A7V266-E motherboard and an AMD XP CPU (1.1GHz) to a new K8T Neo-FIS2R motherboard with an AMD Sempron 2.0GHz processor, both brand new. I thought that it would be possible to use all the other components until I can save up enough for a new graphics card, RAM etc.
    All of the other components seem to work fine. After making all the connections and starting up for the first time, Windows (XP) loads successfully... but VERY, VERY slowly.
    About an hour after loading, I finally manage to right-click on 'My computer' to be told that I apparently have "AMD Unknown Processor - 2.0 GHz" and "64MB of RAM".
    This is what surprises me, because in the DIMM ports at the time were three 256MB PC2100 DDR sticks, all three identical - two which were in the motherboard I had before (sequential serial numbers and everything), and another one from another PC purchased at around about the same time.  All three worked fine in their old computers. So not only is the PC not recognising that it's actually got 762Mb of RAM stuck in it, but it's creating 64Mb out of nowhere!
    AFAIK, the sticks should be compatible, because the RAM specifications appear to be the same for both the Old ASUS motherboard and the New K8T Neo - check out the specifications on the left-hand-side for each board.  However, clearly something is not right - it could be a compatibility issue, or is there something I'm missing?
    All it says on the sticks of RAM is "256MB PC2100 DDR MEM" (plus "Made in Korea", of course  ), but crucial.com seems to be telling me that the RAM must be SDRAM, because that's all that would work in my old motherboard.  Is there some other configuration issue I've overlooked?
    I've tried swapping the sticks around and taking some of them out - no change, either in the display or in overall performance.  I tried loading it with no RAM at all - didn't like that one bit!  I had a look through the BIOS (with the instruction manual close to hand), but nothing jumped out at me - and I really don't know what I'm looking for!
    Really confused!    Any ideas what's going on? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Check with memtest86
    ...yeah...
    ...look on the bright side...when I tried PC2100 RAM with a Socket 754 CPU it wouldn't even POST... 
    ...you might have to enter BIOS and configure the RAM manually rather than Auto...just a guess...

  • MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R (Socket 754) and Corsair 1GB DDR Value Select PC3200 Kit (2x512MB)

    Hi I just ordered the following from overclockers.co.uk and wanting some confirmation that the memory will be compatible with this Mother board
    Corsair 1GB DDR Value Select PC3200 Kit (2x512MB) and MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R

    kevtucker,     
    I'm running the same setup up as you and have not experienced any ram related problems so far. I'm happy with it and it is very stable.
    Every ram has different settings. For the corsair 1gb value select (2x512mb) you must make sure you use these settings for the best results:
    put them in slots 1 and 3.
    use the settings 2.5-3-3-8
    set the ddr voltage 2.7
    I got that information straight from the official corsair forums:

    Good luck.

  • KT4AV will not boot with SATA card installed and no SATA drive

    I put a Promise brand SATA II card in a KT4AV motherboard. There is an IDE drive and a DVD drive hooked up to the IDE1 port on the motherboard. That IDE drive has Windows XP Pro SP2 loaded on it.
    If I have a SATA drive plugged into the card, the machine works fine. If I remove the STAT drive and leave the card in, I cannot boot to Windows. If I remove the card, it works fine. The only time there is a problem is when the SATA card is plugged in and there is no drive on the SATA card.
    As one possible solution, I tried to boot to a Windows CD to reload Windows. It will not even allow me to reload from the CD, it says there is a file missing from the CD. If the SATA drive is hooked up, it will work fine on the CD. Also, I tried multiple CDs and they all give the same message. Because it makes a difference whether the SATA drive is connected or not, I do not believe the CD is the problem.
    I have tried looking on Promise's web site for a FAQ or an updated BIOS or for other information about this problem and I found nothing. I have e-mailed them and they did not reply yet.
    There is no reason to think this is the fault of the motherboard, but I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas about this problem. Because of the symptoms, I believe it also cannot be the CPU, memory, PSU, video card, etc. Sorry if that makes this post off topic.

    Have you tried to disable card in Device Manager when you don't use it? What is the model number of the card you are using?
    It is a SATA 300 TX2, which means that it has two SATA ports and one IDE port. I have never used the IDE port, only one SATA.
    I have never tried to disable it, but I could try, just to see what it did. It sure would be a lot more work to disable and enable it so that isn't a good long term solution. Among other things, it would mean that I would have to boot up in order to remove the SATA drive. Since it won't boot with the drive removed, it will require more planning.
    Will post the results once I have tried. Still no reply from Promise :-(

  • Advice - K8N Neo Plat users with *NEW* (NCQ) SATA Drives!

    Hi, you can see my specs in my signature, but basically the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA drive is playing up after a year of perfect use.
    An obvious replacement is the DiamondMax Plus 10... but...
    I know the nForce3 motherboard does NOT support native command queuing (NCQ)... but do I *STILL* need to install the nVidia SATA (IDE) drivers?? Currently I am using only windows IDE drivers (I uncheck the IDE drivers when installing nvidia system drivers).
    Also, are people still having problems running these hard drives on their motherboards?? (K8N Neo & Neo2) - or do all new "DiamondMax Plus 10" hard drives come with the updated BIOS?? (My motherboard BIOS is 1.4 - It is very very stable so I do not want to upgrade this).
    Basically - is there a better hard disk to go for with the K8N Neo Platinum? I want a fast, quiet SATA drive, around 160GB.
    thanks for your help

  • K8T Neo crashes pc with 3d card's driver

    I recently bought a pc containing a K8T Neo motherboard with an Athlon 64 3200+ cpu and 2x512mb 3200 DDR400 Ram.  It came with a standard VGA driver installed, so I went into safe mode (it has Win98 SE installed), removed the standard driver, restarted and installed the driver for my Geforce4 Ti4200.  But when I restarted my pc again, I got all sorts of problems : windows protection errors, blue screens, the pc just freezing (sometimes with all sorts of colours on the screen) or messages that there isn't enough memory available to run Windows .
    I tried using both the AOpen driver and the Nvidia Detonator one (45.23), but both had the same result.  I also tried this with a Geforce2 MX card, but with no change either.  I also removed my soundcard and am using the onboard sound and networking.  I installed the latest Via 4-in-1 drivers and all Win98 SE updates I could find.
    I already formatted my hard drive twice and everything installs perfectly until I try using the card's driver.
    It's possible to install a Super VGA card and Super VGA 1024x768 monitor driver, but whenever I try to switch to more than 16 colors and restart, I get a message that the adapter type is incorrect or the settings don't work with my hardware, and it gets set back to 16x640x480.
    Is there a BIOS setting I should change?  Or maybe there is a problem with a Via chipset combined with Nvidia cards?
    And why does the system find a "PCI VGA compatible adapter" when I have an AGP card installed?
    That's the third day now that I'm doing nothing but restarting and seeing error messages.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    (sorry for the long post)

    I installed the 4-in-1 drivers, then my card's drivers, after which ... my whole C: drive became corrupt and I had to format and re-install Win98SE.
    During this install I got a BSOD but Windows seemed to install correctly anyway.
    I did the above step again (installing the Aopen Ti4200 drivers and software) and got a black screen after restarting and 2 cursors, blinking randomly.
    Do you want me to tell you voltage values from my BIOS?
    And if so, where can I find these?
    I got a 350W power supply which came with my Aopen A600A case btw.
    Are you suggesting my card/pc isn't receiving enough power to work at full blast?
    I indeed get most of the problems resulting from too little voltages as mentioned in the link you gave me.
    And if by a "sirene" they mean a constant beeping sound, then yeah it's most probably a voltage problem.
    [edit]
    Here are my 350W power supply voltage settings :
    +3.3v  28A
    +5V  30A
    +12V  16A
    +5Vsb  2A
    -5V  0.3A
    -12V  0.8A
    (+3.3V & +5V = 220W Max)
    And in my BIOS they fluctuate as follows :
    Vcore  1.552V
    +5V  5.168V
    +12V  11.923V
    -12V  -12.071V
    -5V  -5.077V
    Battery 3.520V
    +5V SB  4.993V

  • How can i mount 2nd and 3rd SATA drives during install

    I have 3 SATA drives in my desktop.
    all ext3.
    I installed, and set up sda as /, but then it asks if i want anything else mounted. I want to put in sdb and sdc, but I select ext3, and it says it will wipe it.
    I installed Arch before, but i can't remember what i did. Those drives are full of stuff, so i don't want to risk formatting it just to mount it.
    ideas?
    thanks

    If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to mount X partition with a pre-existing filesystem.  It has pre-existing data, and you want to keep that data intact.
    If this is the case, answer "no" when it asks "Would you like to create a filesystem on /dev/sdb1?"

  • KT6D-LSR and Single SATA Drive

    I am hoping to install a single Maxtor 120gig SATA drive on my KT6d-LSR as well a use my existing IDE drive.  I have been reading the posts on this subject and there seems to be no consensus as to whether this will work or not.  Could someone please respond and let me know if this worked for you and how you went about doing it. Thanks

    I ordered 1 Maxtor 120 gig SATA drive the other day.  I successfully installed Win XP and everything seems to be working perfectly.  Ok, here are the steps I followed:
    1) Plugged the drive into SATA-1 header on the Via 8237 controller.  
    2) In the BIOS, I enabled the VT8237 Controller.
    3) Set the boot device to BBS-0 in the Boot Sequence menu of the Bios
    4) Hit F6 in the WinXP install to load the Via Drivers from the supplied disk.
    5) Once the install completed, I installed the newest RAID drivers from the VIA Website.
    It seems to be working fine now.  I needed to update to the newest RAID drivers to stop infrequent BSOD.  Once this was done, I have not run into any troubles.  I am going to try and disable the RAID controller in the BIOS and see if it is still recognized as the boot drive.  I will post back once I have spent a significant amount of time running the machine.
    here are my specs:
    AMD 2500+ 333Mhz 512Kb L2
    MSI KT6 Delta LSR

  • Tiger and two internal drives on G-4--Master & Slave

    Guys/Gals:
    I have a 933 MHz Quicksilver Mac with which can handle the ATA 133 since it was an ULtra ATA though the Baracuda Seagate was a ATA IV.
    Knowing this I tried to install the Max Ultra ATA/133 drive kit . I really tried to follow the on-line instructions from Maxtor for an Mac--but I missed the instructions in the Maxtor Drive manual which is highly Windoz oriented.
    I had a devil of a time getting the drive to show up on my desk top so I could format it.
    After a lot of experimenting and frustgration, I rebooted and inserted Tiger CD and now formatted the volume totally in HFS+ after switching the drive arround and changing the jumper settings on the Maxtor.
    All is in working order now.
    I do have a secondary issue:
    Can I place the opperating system on this drive Maxtor now even though it is a slave to the smaller Baracuda 60 GB master drive?

    You can put the OS onto any properly formatted disk/volume/partition. I have my two HDs partitioned and have three Tiger, two Panther, and two OS 9 boot partitions.

    Thank's for any help with this system... boots up to log on screen in 30 sec's and then after entering pass word it is on desk top in 10 sec's

    I am not having any luck at all with this.... when I do get it to see the SSD's and I load the RAID driver at win7 driver install screen it all loads up fine and when it get's ready to go into win7 after rebooting I get a blue screen and reboot's..... blue screen flashes by so fast i can not read it...... also i took back the the Micro Center Re-Badged ADATA S599 2.5 SATA SSD HDD's 64GB and exchanged them for two OCZ Vertex 80GB SSD and swapped out the two WD 320GB for one WD Caviar Black 1TB 7,200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 64meg's.... I am looking to RAID 0 the two SSD's and I just can not get it using the RAID hardware on the MB .... I have been able to do it in windows manager but it will not let me load OS on to them... I do have Win7 loaded onto the WD 1TB SATA HDD at this point hoping I could get the two SSD's in RAID 0 and did.... but only as dynamic and it will not let me load OS on to them... I had hoped to do and then delete the OS on the WD 1TB SATA hard drive
    Thank you in Adv. for any assistance

  • Problems with K8T Neo-FSR (ms-6702) and radeon 9800

    hey
    does anybody have problems or success using an ati radeon 9800 graphics card with this board?
    any special configurations required ?
    seems that other msi neo boards cause problems with this card

    Make sure to use the VIA drivers that came with the board as the newer Hyperions do not work as well and have been known to cause issues.

  • K8T Neo, Cool'N'Quiet and Core Center

    Hello,
    I have the impression that the "Quiet" part of the CnQ feature (CPU fan rpm control) only works if activated through Core Center.
    I have to open this SW, click on Core Center bmp and push apply to lower the rmp of the CPU fan (from 3300 to 2600 rpm).
    I have installed K8 driver and set the appropriate power saving mode via Windows XP control panel.
    Mobo BIOS is 1.8.
    Do you know other means to make it work without having to go through Core Center ?
    Anyone got it working without installing Core Center ?
    Thanks in advance for your help !!

    I think you need Core Center.
