K9A2 CF SATA Issues

Hello,
I seem to be having trouble with my SATA drives. I had a Seagate 7200.11 320gb SATA hdd installed already (using the cable that came with the motherboard), and it worked fine. I purchased a Seagate 7200.11 500GB SATA drive on Monday, and have had nothing but problems since.
XP is installed on the old drive, Vista on the new one.
I have purchased another SATA cable besides the one that came in the Seagate box as well.
Here's what I have tried:
Old cable on old drive: boots fine
New cable on Old drive: BSOD (0x0000007B stop error)
Third cable on Old drive: BSOD (0x0000007B stop error)
Old cable on old drive and new cable on new drive: BSOD (0x0000007B stop error)
Old cable on old drive and third cable on new drive: BSOD (0x0000007B stop error)
Old cable on new drive: boots fine
New cable on new drive: hangs (no bluescreen in vista?)
Third cable on new drive: boots, but takes forever to do so.
Third cable on new drive and Old cable on old drive: boots, but takes forever to do so (and old drive is not recognized by Vista)
Is it possible that I got two bad cables? any suggestions?
System specs:
k9a2 CF motherboard
Athlon 64x2 5200+ 65W
1x 320gb seagate 7200.11
1x 500gb seagate 7200.11
PNY 9600GT video
2x2gb OCZ ddr2-800 RAM
Corsair single rail 450W PS (recommended by this forum)
EDIT: The drives are running in IDE mode. When I tried running in RAID mode, vista didn't recognize any drives at all (using the RAID drivers off MSI site).

Motherboard drivers well installed, for Vista and XP?
The new cable doesn't seem to work very well at all.
If you ever cloned or imaged one of the installations over from another disk you know what is the problem, I think: Boot sector of the hard disk doesn't work.

Boot Camp 1.1.1 & SATA issue

Last night, I installed Boot Camp 1.1.1 (released 9/14)
Today, per someone's suggestion, I downloaded HD Tune (hdtune.com) and ran it while I played Serious Sam Second Encounter. Here are the results - maybe someone who knows more about this stuff than I do can conclude whether the SATA issue is fixed or not from these results...
Minimum transfer rate: 0.5 MB/sec
Maximum transfer rate: 3.7 MB/sec
Average transfer rate: 2.8 MB/sec
Access Time: 20.4 ms
Burst Rate: 3.5 MB/sec
CPU usage: 24%

There is no Bootcamp fix, however you could create a
new windows disk using your old one and place the
SATA drivers you need to be installed. this forces
windows to use the SATA drivers and you can get up to
58mb/sec.
There is a post about how do do this in this forum >
Mac Pro some where but it is a time consuming
process. 3h of prep and learning to use certian
programs and another hour to install. Also you must
have access to a windows machine, which could be your
bootcamp "crippled" version of windows on you mac
pro.
Good luck to you.
I don't understand why one needs to use a Slipstreamed CD?
Why can't one update the drivers once XP is installed and running?
Steve

Are all SATA issues fixed?

I was one of the early adopters, back in Aug/Sept. and in order to get Windows running right, I had to create a slipstreamed XP install disk (to fix the SATA issues)
Today, I have a friend coming over who is a recent switcher (whoo-hoo! Won another one!). She has a MacBook Pro and wants me to install Windows on it using Boot Camp.
Do I need to create a slipstreamed CD for her too? Or have the issues been fixed with Boot Camp so that we can just use her XP install disk?
Thanks for the help...

Yep, I just did this recently and measured the SATA speed. It's fixed, so you are all set to plow ahead.
If she's not gaming or needs multi-processor speed, Parallels is worth trying. It's pretty great to fire up Windows in OSX for lightweight use.

When do Boot Camp updates come? Mac Pro SATA issue driving me NUTS

I just got a Mac Pro, FINALLY, and after a long wait, I've had to suffer through hours of shoving Windows XP on my Mac Pro with Boot Camp 1.1. After successfully getting it all put on there, the stupid SATA issues are driving me nuts. I tried the slipstreaming fix TWICE, and I have no patience to try it a third.
Basically, I know 1.1 just came out, but do we know when the next update will come that will supposedly fix the SATA issues? How often do updates come for this so we can have a basic window of when the update will come?

but to expect Apple to support Windows SATA driver issue IMHO is not a fair expectation of Apple
I disagree… in this case at least. Apple has stated that Boot Camp is a feature of Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard and to not have it work correctly, or to its potential, on their flagship product, the Mac Pro, as it were intended then this makes it unacceptable. For Apple's customers and for Apple themselves.
Apple IS ultimately responsible for having this work out of the box and with standard off the shelf product, which includes the minimum Windoews product (Microsoft Windows XP SP2 at this time).
Bear in mind that Boot Camp is still in beta so demanding a fix is a little difficult and the the part that I feel is unfair to Apple. While I have stated previously (in another thread) that Apple will fix this issue… they can't not, it appears the reality may be a little more difficult. It is possible that upon the release of Leopard the minimum system requirements on the Mac Pro will be Windows Vista.
What I find a little odd though is that there are no SATA issues on the rest of the Mac product line.

K9A2 CF IDE / PATA and SATA issue where IDE is master boot

Hi everyone,
I have built myself a pc using the K9A2-CF mboard and had trouble installing any OS on my SATA HDD. Both windows and linux installers said the drive was locked and i couldn't install anything into the partition. (I have a lot of data on this drive that I want to keep.) I couldn't even edit the partitions on the sata drive unless i deleted the master partition.
i bought a cheap 2nd hand PATA IDE disk, which i then installed winxp sp2 onto. (after some trouble as both drives were 'locked' meaning i had to delete and recreate the IDE partition) this eventually worked (IDE MASTER & Nbr1boot sequence). I even got my SATA drive working from windows.
This worked fine, but i switched off the PC and next day found it wouldn't work as the bios couldn't find the IDE drive anymore (takes a few mins to not find it too).
When I removed the SATA disk it worked ok. then when i reinstalled the sata disk it might work but then after a cold boot it doesn't. Any ideas?
I'm pretty sure that if i reformatted the sata drive then it would work. I wish i spent an extra tenner on a second sata. is there anyway the ide boot disk and sata storage disk can play together? i updated the bios to 1.5, played with ide jumpers. I even tried using a SATA to IDE connector that i used on my old PC but all it did was to display what looked like a graphics card code on it. (...GDDR4)
thanks in advance,
Colly
- MSI k9a2-cf bios rev 1.5
- Amd x2 5200XP
- Corsair Memory 2x1GB XMS2-8500 (not had a chance to run at full speed yet!)

ok guys i'm sold on the psu. i do remember at one stage when playing around with settings and connections that the graphics card wouldn't send anything to screen. my tv card is stuttering too so it may well be psu reated (athough that could be the s/w).
Fredrik, I can't find your guide, can you post the link please?
I'm out of the dabs 7day warranty but if i buy another psu from them then maybe they'll take it back. ok then with my h/w spec:
- MSI k9a2-cf bios rev 1.5
- Amd x2 5200XP
- Corsair Memory 2x1GB XMS2-8500 (not had a chance to run at full speed yet!)

- Maxtor 320GB HDD SATA
- Seagate 20GB HDD IDE
- DVDRW SATA
- WinTV 1110 HVR
- Wireless-n n/w card
...and considering i will at some stage put a phenom in there (and i gotta make use of that memory speed someday ), what psu should I buy? I've noticed that it's not really the wattage that matters but the amps down the rails? this is a budget pc btw so i've got about £45 to spend - or is that not enough?
thanks for your help - much appreciated!

I tried MSI. K9A2 Platinum Support issues.

Do not buy MSI.... Buyer beware.
I have the MSI K9A2 Platinum motherboard. Now the board runs fine. However I find it very hard to take this company seriously anymore.
6 months ago I tried Flashing the Bios for a CPU upgrade I wanted. MSI's website boasts its mother boards that have 64 bit capabilities. However if you use a 64bit OS. Namely Windows XP or Windows Vista. You are in big trouble. The Live updater doesn't work with it. Not at all. Install it and it gives you errors that it will not launch.
Now any one that has flashed a bios before will say. "Okay I will do it manually." (Or if you don't know what your doing don't touch the Bios) So you download the Image file you need. Launch your boot disk from the A: Drive and well you can't access the Image file you have placed on your C: drive because hey it doesn't recognize Sata. So pray you have an old IDE laying around or you will have to load it to a cd. Oh but, hey again you have sata still doesn't see it. So usually you load it onto the disk. No big deal right? Well now on their readme it warns against Flashing from a floppy or CD (If you don't understand what I meant I am saying they warn against having the flash file on the boot disk Floppy or CD). So because of this I called MSI and had them walk me through the process because I wanted to be sure I am doing this right. I have done it many times before but for some reason it's a fricking process now. So we made a CD booted and ran it like you would off the A: drive everything went smoothly and then it froze. at 60% into the flash it froze so the guy tells me just reboot. I warn him that if I reboot the Motherboard is junk. He insists it should be fine. I reboot and as expected nothing happens because it was a bad flash.
So they say just send it back they give me an RMA number I remove the board package it and take pictures of its condition. I say again I took pictures. (The reason I did this is if you look at the reviews of this board on Tiger Direct there is complaints of them getting the board and claiming it is damaged. They email you a picture and claim it something you did. they then send it back to you.)
So I send it out. Wouldn't you guess they say it's Damaged they send me some nice pics in an email. So I send my pics of the board in the condition I sent it. There is no damage on the board they can see. They now claim it's the shippers fault. Shipper insists package arrived in great condition. MSI still refuses to help even though they know I sent them the board in great condition.So MSI is very poor in taking care of it's customers through RMA
So I send it back to Cyberpower. I explain to them what happened and they replaced the board free of charge and flashed it to current specs at the time. Bios Version 1.4. Now I work with computers. Part of my work is seeing the ease of how user friendly things are like Bios updates. How new processors perform. So now I was stuck in a dilemma 6 months after the first Now I need Bios version 1.6 installed. Well this time I took it to geek squad. They said it shouldn't take long and I waited in the store 3 hours and watched this person pull their hair out. All the normal ways of flashing the Bios don't work yet again. He goes to use the Live Updater and again 64 bit systems not supported. So he is baffled because why would a company that supports a 64 bit Processor not support the OS. Good question. Now I see more of the geek squad coming over all them ask it's not MSI is it. They get their answer and sigh. Now what they thought was a 15 minute procedure turns into me having to leave the system for a night.
The next day It is completed. What did they have to do? They installed a IDE drive booted from a floppy and loaded off the drive with the Flash file. Having to take the PC apart taking out Cd roms and running the ide via my CD rom IDE. Now I know a lot of you are going to say they didn't know what they where doing and I am telling you They did everything I did which is what MSI walked me through and hit the same road blocks. during the Reboot one of the guys wanted to try MSI live updater 3 and some how it worked..
So I called MSI today and asked them if they now support 64 bit OS with their instant updater. The answer was no. They stated they still do not support that. I checked my Bios version and some how it did worked. Who knows maybe they did it when they had all the other stuff out and apart and I just didn't notice. But MSI is Claiming the contrary. So I am happy that I have the update. However knowing that I am going to need to update again I now have come to the conclusion that MSI is not a user friendly board in fact it took 4 people at geek squad some of whom I know and see do flashes all the time and they had trouble. I do flashes all the time and I have trouble.
The bottom line here is MSI needs to hop on board with what they offer. Everyone is going to the 64 bit OS mainly because of RAM. They want to run Crysis, Farcry 2, Mass effect, and have the fastest processors available. They want the best video cards Available. But if your manufacturer Builds 64 bit based motherboards that are suppose to support the AM2 Platform then you would think that they would at least have an updater capapable of working with those systems. Now it's not impossible to make something like this work, Nor is it hard. There are other manufacturers who do have easier ways to flash than MSI.
Playstation 3 does firmware update all the time over the net. What is a firmware update? to put it simply it is a Bios flash to update how the machine works with newer software or to take advantage of existing technoligy in the PS3. Which is put simply just a computer. If a company that makes these systems can't even get a live updater to work or does not have the ability to walk you over how to do the flash the flash over the phone correctly why waste your time and money with a lazy company. I have an Asus machine that flashes.
Take this however you want. It could be taken as venting or a warning. Hopefully the MSI forum admin will forward these concerns to MSI before he bans me.

I am not here to argue but, the fact that you as an administrator can sit here and say there is no money in 64 bit obviously are speaking from a point of view of Bias.
Walk into any Bestbuy, call any Dell call center, Call CyberpowerPC.com, or call Microsoft. These are the systems that are in demand.
Best buy states that there 64 Bit OS based computers are flying off the shelves. and that 90 percent of the computers they now carry are 64 bit installed with Vista. In approxomatly 11 months windows will only be making Vista and the New windows 7 in 64 bit. It doesn't matter what you think it does. It matters what the market is demanding. There is tons of money in this and if MSI doesn't get on board soon they are gonna lose to competitors that do.
Where would we be if we stuck with 8 bit? What would have happended to the gaming industry if Sega never came out with their 16 bit platform?
Mention MSI to any geek squad guy and they just laugh and say go Asus. Sure you may not value their opinion. But the public who take it to them cause they don't understand computers does.They even say They(Geek squad) are easier to maintain with processor updates with some one who has experience that means something too. Sure I know to use the Utilities now because of these forums which I am thankful for. However: I represent those who are not capable and computer literate and the idea here that we should let them fend for themselves is preposterous.
Plus the fact that you don't use 32 bit software does not speak for those of us that do. There is 64 bit software out there. If your going to sit here and represent MSI. First you need some suggestions and you don't have to take em.
First off answer questions with out the criticism to the 64 bit OS. Just try and help the people regardless of your opinion.
Secondly you need to lose this idea that there is no market for 64bit software. There is. Trust me I report to people who want to see what is in demand. 64 bit is in great demand (Mainly because of ram and yes people don't realize that there really never going to use it. However; The market is pushing this so when it does come out and they do start using it there won't be a mad rush to update everything again.)
Last... Maybe you should get on this company as well. This may be a user forum but, to be honest I am here criticizing them as on many other sites so they can hopefully get word that there are many people aside from me who are complaining about there support and they can improve it. MSI has some great innovations but they need to make sure they support all the new hardware and software that goes along with being in this type of business. Criticism helps drive us as Human, as companies to do better.
However I do value you and your opinion and will even be submitting a report of this forum and how helpful it is to those who are not so good with the computer or just starting out doing it on their own. You can lock this if ya like. Please don't take offense either as I think you have some knowledge that is really worth sharing to many others. I have seen some of your other posts after your replies and you definitely have some great input. Thanks for letting me debate with you.

Sata issues on 970A-G46 motherboard

I'm getting extremely slow write and read speeds on my pny optima ssd and my bios also has problems finding my ssd at times. I thought it was my ssd so I RMA it and I just got it back but I'm still having the same issues. The odd thing is that when playing games like battlefield my loading times are extremely fast but during basic desktop use I experience hang ups.
The ssd is the only thing plugged to the sata ports and its in AHCI mode with a fresh install of windows 8.

>>Posting Guide<<
Also post BIOS version (some people just miss this, so want to remind you about it).
Also try clearing CMOS: >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Try different SATA port. Also do you have a chance to test your SSD in different computer?

SATA issues with 2.6.18 and Dell Poweredge SC420

My primary HDD is on SATA. My secondary HDD is on SATA through a PATA --> SATA adapter.
Everything works quite nicely under 2.6.17 (any version). Under 2.6.18, my primary HDD is detected just fine, but the secondary is not. It's hard for me to do any real diagnosis since I'm 2000 miles away from my computer (and will be for several months), but I'd like to know what I can check. All requisite hooks were present in the mkinitcpio conf file, and mkinitcpio's output suggested that it parsed them OK. Why would one SATA drive get picked up while the other is not?
I verified that it is not a hardware issue by reverting to 2.6.17. All drives were detected appropriately. Thanks for your insight!

Sata issues with k8n-fsr

Hi list!
I have serious issues with my sata drive on my K8N Neo-FSR.
The SATA drive is connected on the SATA3 controller, and an IDE DVD is connected as master on IDE channel 1. The DVD is detected by the BIOS and can be booted...
BUT, the SATA hard drive is not detected by the BIOS, and so neither by WinXP or Linux installers...
I tried loads of configurations settings in the BIOS like SATA3/4 Enabled, RAID IDE enabled, ... Boot priority options do not show the HD...
Please help!!!!!!!
Here is my config:
MSI K8N Neo-FSR (NVIDIA nForce3 250Gb)
Hitachi 160 Go 7200 RPM 8 Mo Serial ATA (bulk)
Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro
NEC ND-3500 - DVD(+/-)RW

hi zorloc,
looking at size of your new drives are they the new ncq capable seagates, in which case it may be a compatability issue. Maxtor 10 series users have had similar issues.
Try updating bios to the new officiial v1.5 which has Raid v4.6 & may be better for these drives.
You'd also be best upgrading to the latest Nvidia 5.1 drivers .
Other than this Try & see if any of the fixes that worked for the Maxtor users work for you.
see Maxtor 16Mb Cache HDDs & Neo2 Problems there are several more member €ric had some success at end of included thread.
Edit: This may also be of interest Ech a fellow Neo 754 user has had a long stuggle trying to get his maxtor 10 to work Updated Neo BIOS to fix Maxtor 16Mb problem?
luck

970A-G46 sata issue

i have problem with sata device second hdd and dvd-rom. when i use app or copy files after first freezing 4-5min then device disabling.
system: Fx-4100, 4GB kingston HyperX (KHX1600C9D3B1/4G), windows 7 ultimate 64, GTS 450
HDD: 1. WD Cavier Black (WD1001FALS) 2. WD Cavier Blue (dont know part no)
DVDrom: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C SATA CdRom Device

I have purchased and set up 3 computers with the said mobo and each time I run into a problem with the sata controller. I don't remember what I did to solve the problem with the first 2 PCs, but now I have it on the third new PC. The DVD wont work but it does show up in the device manager. ASUS DVD burner. On the 2 working systems I built I got them to work by installing the AMD sata controller driver. I don't remember the file I used to do this. Nothing on the mobo driver CD helps, that I know of. Win 7 pro64.
Under "IDE ATA/atapi controllers" in the device manager on the working systems it has just one device listed. "AMD SATA Controller".
On the system I am having trouble with it has 6 items, as did the other systems till I fixed it. It has 2 "ATA Channel 0", 2 "ATA Channel 1" and 2 "Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller".
I really can't remember how I solved this problem with the first 2 computers and it's driving me crazy. When is MSi going to solve this issue?
Please help!

do i just connect it all into the sata 1-4?
or do i put the 640 into sata1. samsung in the sata2 and the 80gb in the sata5-6?

yes i have. actually i own the k9a2 platnium. i was just wondering where i should put my sata cables

K9A2 Platinum Sata Raid Problems

I could not get my 2 500 gb seagate 7200.11 drives to work on the sb600 raid controller, in raid 1 (set to raid mode in bios). I'd set it up and it would remain functional until I formatted it and put stuff on it. Then when I restarted, it says critical and can't locate the second drive, but it shows up in the list of definable drives. My older 200 gb seagates 7200.9 in the same setup do not have this problem. I finally got my 500s working by hooking them up to the promise controller instead. (Although no longer a current problem, I wouldn't mind knowing what would cause this for future occasions.)
My new problem is, I had to unhook all but the drive I wanted to install Windows XP on (A separate 120 JBOD configured drive) so I could get it to be C:/. This all went fine. However when I hooked up the 500s again, Windows XP would not boot, the screen just stayed black, with them not hooked up, it boots just fine, with the 200s as well. When running the Windows XP setup again, the 500s appear as C:/ instead of the 120 in the disk select screen of the install. It's like the 500s took over the drive letter when they are hooked up and thus can't load. Is there some way to stop it from doing this or am I completely off on this.
My computer spec is:
K9A2 Platinum
AMD X2 6000
2*2gb OCZ PC6400
ATI Radeon 3870
700 Watt OCZ PSU
Update: Installing XP ignoring the fact its not C: fails. It copies all the files onto it, then after restarting I get a black screen.
Another Update: On a whim I tried disabling the SB600 raid and set it to AHCI instead as I read that other people were having problems with it and it all works perfectly now. It's too bad this doesn't work, but I'll just put the 200s back in my old computer instead.

I'm having the exact same problem you did. Same Mobo. Except I started off with Promise RAID 1 because when I tried using SB600 RAID, my SATA DVD drive would not function in Vista Ultimate x64. So I had my Raid 1 configured on Promise T3 with BIOS 2.8.1030.0021 using 2 320GB drives. One of them Seagate, one WD, both 3GB/s transfer, only difference was that Seagate has 16MB cache, while the WD has 8MB. But both drives worked fine in the array for some time, and then after doing some updates from Windows Updates now the Raid config shows that encountered a critial status, "A disk member of an array has failed or is not responding", "Problem is detected with Array : 1". And when I go to the see the Array status it shows the Seagate drive on ID channel 1, but for the 2nd drive it shows questions marks all the way through the item line. I checked the drive, it seems fine. And even when I go to define a second Array, it shows the WD available on channel ID 3. So it definitely see both drives, but how do I re-add that WD drive that it doesn't see to my earlier defined array without loosing data on my Seagate drive?

Question about the k9a2 platinum sata

on the k9a2, i notice 6 sata ports but i only see 4 on the bios post. i haven't tried the fastbuild utility yet but will it allow you to put 6 hdd's in raid 0?

quad:
nah, gaming, benchies, hd video, movie, music. most of which will be backed up and even if i lost it most of which can be re-downloaded easily. also most of the media will also be on the upcoming htpc too. and once the cash comes in, i plan on taking the next step in storage and build a NAS PC. on top of that, the music is also on my laptop so there is a decent data redundancy going there.
wd raptors are very reliable drives, even more so if you use additional cooling for them. 4 of the 6 hdd's came out of that other machine i posted on here with the k9a platinum 580x system. they have been running for over a year.
again i appreciate the ultra smokin fast responses and i will continue to use msi products as long as they continue to make hardware to fulfull my needs. (hint: a sb750 k9a2 platinum with the sata ports relocated and on the same controller would be nice )
Bas:
speed? i definately notice decreased load times on games with raid 0. i have never tried nor looked into sas so i cannnot say anything about it. usually i associate SCSI with expensive so that has kept me away from it.
i'll play, how much are these drives a piece?
i'll be honest, i am curious about the external raid controllers. however the expense cannot be justified at the moment. Perhaps later once they make a board with more than 4 pcie slots or i get another x2 card. i have been really thinking about ssd's for my next upgrade, i hear they are fast but not practical yet.

X2100 SATA issues

Hi there,
we've bought an X2100 server with 80 GB SATA disk. After 2 weeks of working, the disk attached into the 1st disk bay was not recognized. We got another disk - with the same result: sometimes the BIOS recognizes it, sometimes not. The second bay is correct.
What the hell is it?

You ever figure out the issue here? I just had a 2 Day old X2100 80GB Hitachi Drive fail...I think. The machine hangs during the POST operations if the drive is plugged in. IF I remove the drive the server will continue to boot...albeit w/o a HD. ON the Mobo it shows Error 75 not sure what that means.
It exibits the same behavior if I switch HD bays also. The drive however IS recognized in the BIOS right before it hangs.
I have a case open w/ Sun Warranty
