KT4 Ultra-BSR - Drive problems?

Yesterday I purchased a KT4 Ultra-BSR. I am doing a clean install.
I have an Athlon XP200+, 2 x 512MB DDR Ram (PC2100).
On IDE1 I have put 2 x 20GB Western Digital HDs.
On IDE2 I have put a Pioneer DVR-A04 as Master, and a 100GB Western Digital HD as the Slave.
On IDE3 I want a 30GB Western Digital HD as Master, and a 40x Liteon CD-R/W as Slave.
I have installed Windows XP Pro (SP1) from new, and I have installed all of the drivers and utilities from the Drivers CD. My motherboard was shipped with BIOS Version 1.1
When I boot into Windows, I do NOT see the CD-R/W at all.
Also, the only way ro see the HD that's on IDE3 is when it's configured as an array (even though there's only one HD).
I would have preferred to have two HD's on IDE3 but NOT with any form of RAID configuration - is there a way of doing this?
Many thanks

I did it the simple way: Used Fujitsu-Siemens' Plugfree setup instead of the incredibly buggy MSI drivers. Then it worked perfectly with my PocketLoox and Ericsson T39. The hardware is the same. But still the range stinks (max 20 feet on my system), so I bought a full WLan setup instead.
Here's the URL (I belive it says it's only for Fujitsu-Siemens' computers, but that's just standard manufacturer's bull. 8)

And an explanation concerning pocket pc's and the installation:

You've misunderstood my problem. I have the MSI KT4 Ultra-BSR motherboard which has a bluetooth module which needs to be connected to the motherboard, however, I don't know how to connect it (PHYSICALLY).
Therefore I need someone with the same board to tell me how they did it.

KT4-Ultra-BSR Video problem

My PC was running fine. I have the KT4 Ultra BSR with XP2200+. I WAS running a TNT2/Riva 32MB GFX Card, and all was OK. I then bought a new graphics card - a 64MB Triplex Xabre-Pro (AGP 8X). I installed the card, but with it installed, the PC would not even attempt boot.
I took the card out and put my old TNT back in, and the PC worked OK.
I tried the jumper settings on the Triplex card, but it still failed to boot.
NOW the PC won't boot - even with the TNT card in, BUT it will boot WITHOUT a gfx card (although it gives the customary beeps).
What am I doing wrong here?

OK, well it IS a 3.3V and 5V PSU.
I have tried booting withou the NIC installed, and it made no odds.
I have cleared the CMOS
I didn't remove the TNT drivers, but I don't feel like that's the problem since the machine does not power up.
I have tried a combined 300W 3.3V / 5V PSU that was in the machine before the gold PSU and it doesn't power on with that one in either.
On BOTH PSU's the machine WILL boot without either of my 2 graphics cards in it, but will not boot with either of them (whereas it did at least boot with the TNT before)

Raid & KT4 Ultra BSR

;( Can anyone save my sanity!
Read all about updating PC, thought easy, I can do that. During summer fitted extra memorey 512, fitted new hard drive, then an extra one for back ups, all well so far, then at Christmas bought KT4 Ultra BSR board & AMD 2400XP. Fitted ok no probs, great.
So why can't I understand how the hell to get Raid to work. The guide is about as useful as a smack in the mouth. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get an easy to understand guide to which HDD connects where and what I do with the jumpers on each. Tried configuring as Master and Slave on same cable to IDE 1 works Ok. Then tried same on IDE 3 only MAster shown and cannot configure raid. Please help before I trash it!

hi,
i had the same problem,
i have pull the little white mini plug of the harddisk where you can put it on master/save/..........
that restarted my compu and in to the set actived the raid / serial controller.

Raid BIOS Gone (KT4 Ultra-BSR)

I recently bought a Serial ATA Hard Drive wanting to install it on the raid controller. But when I went to enter the Raid Controller's BIOS FastBuild Setup (at boot-time), it never shows up.
I have the KT4 Ultra-BSR, and I can see the RAID Controller enable/disable option in the Integrated Peripherals. I have it enabled, but it NEVER displays the RAID bios at boot-up. This is the second KT4 Ultra I've had and I know I saw the RAID bios on the first one I had. I have the latest system BIOS installed (1.30).
Has anyone experienced this and/or know how to fix it? Is there a way for flash the RAID controller to possibly fix it? Did the entry to the setup change from whats in the manual (ctrl-F4)?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I've seen a couple other post like yours Shark. While that makes me feel a little more comfortable that other are having similar problems, I thinks mine's a little different. I don't ever remember seeing the RAID BIOS on this motherboard. I've tried turning it off and on in a row to see if mine would eventuall show, but I never see it.
Does anyone from MSI read these? I think something should be done.

MSI KT4 ULTRA BSR QUESTIONS

I just bought new stuff for my computer
kt4 Ultra bsr
AOPEN Geforce ti4200 128mb DVI
2200 XP CPU (IN A BOX)
256 ddram 333mhz
so i began rebuilding my computer,
first thing i did was moving the CLEAR CMOS to the right position (by the manual) then it wouldn´t boot, no lights, no fan movement, so i found out later on the internet that it was wrong, so i put the jumper in the other position as shown in the internet.
But when i start up the computer now it only shows
1500 XP 1350 mhz, should be 2200 xp - 1800mhz i think.
but it won´t start with the fsb at 133 mhz. what can i do ????
i have calculated the 5v * 30a + 3.3v * 14 = 196w (dont know what that mean hehe)
i just dont know what´s wrong huff plz anyone help ?

Hi,
unable to run FSB at 133Mhz is either two problem or both:
1. CPU Heatsink did not install properly, thermal grease applied wrongly
2. Power supply does not have enough power
Check both of them.
Your power supply is very weak for today's system. Please consider an upgrade. But don't blindly go for the bigger numbers -- 450W, 550W, survey more to know about the quality of the power supply, especially the +3.3V and +5V rails, which both should supply similar amount of current, ie +3.3V @ 35A, +5V @ 36A for a good 400W. For more insurance, go for the well known brand. But usually they cost more.

KT4 Ultra-BSR Blue Screening

Hi All
I have a KT4 Ultra-BSR (MS-6590) that I bought way back in 2002. I haven't used it a hell of a lot, it was used intermittantly up to early last year, when it became my desktop baord, so it has seen a lot of use in the last year.
It has started blue screening recently, at first maybe once a week, but now it's several times a day.
I've replaced the PSU with a decent brand 700W one, even though the previous one was a decent brand 650W. This has not helped. I've stripped everything out, and ran it barebones, and this didn't make a difference. I then swapped the graphics card, memory and HDD (Leaving it barebones) and rebuilt the OS, and still no change.
I've inspected the caps around the voltage regulator circuit, they seem to be OK, with no visible bulging or leaking, but absence of these symptoms are not proof positive that they aren't the dodgy ones. Has anyone else experienced similar problems with thses boards?

Tell us what parts you have in the system. Use the description of my systems as a guide to what we need to know.
Run memtest86 on one stick of memory at a time to check your memory. Run at least 5 passes on each stick and let us know the results.

Msi kt4 ultra bsr

hi,
i'm new at this forum.
i have buy a msi kt4 ultra bsr board whit amd xp 2200 cpu.
twinmoss pc 3200 memory @ 256mb.
after install the hardware it seems to run only at xp 1500 in the bios.(amibios).
normaly you can set the range on 100mhz or 133mhz.
by this board we can set it only @100mhz and not at 133mhz.
have olso tryed whit pc 2100 / pc 2700 @133mhz.
still the same probleem,no 133mhz possible.
when i put the memory in my msi kt7pro2-ru board it runs at 133mhz only the pc3200 can run on that board.
is it possible that a little bug in the ami bios the problem is?
have look at the msi website for a patch but nothing.
have someone had the same problem.
regards jupliner / belgyium

hi,
still the same problem
today i have olso buyed the xp 2000+ cpu.

have buy olso a new psu it's now 450w.
olso buyed new ram from apacer pc 2700.
we have tryed everthing in the bios to put it on 133mhz.
in the bios isn't not possible to set 100mhz to 133mhz.
when we change the fsb clock higher than we need to reset the bios.
in the dram timing control we can not set the 100mhz to 133mhz.
the current host clock is 100mhz and not changeble.

KT4 Ultra - SCSI boot problem

Hi,
I have installed a Tekram DC390U2W LVD SCSI adapter on my KT4 Ultra. My problem is that I cannot select any of the five connected SCSI disks as a boot device in the BIOS (BBS-n), nor can I select 'Legacy SCSI' as a boot device, they simply don't exist as options in the Boot Sequence menu. I've used this card (and were able to boot) without problem using a MSI KT266 motherboard, so I don't think the problem is the SCSI adapter. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I've disabled all motherboard options (Serial ATA Raid/1394/USB 2.0/GBLAN/Audio controllers), remove all PCI cards exept the Tekram card and tried it in all PCI slots without success. Also tried to assign different IRQs to the SCSI card in the BIOS. Tekram support responded that the SCSI card is fully PnP/BBS/PCI 2.1 specification compliant and they're unaware of any KT400 issues. There are issues (and work arounds) with this SCSI card when using it on motherboards with an on-board SCSI controller and older Award BIOS versions, but that's not applicable here.
Anyone out there using this SCSI card and motherboard got this combination to work as intended?

KT4 Ultra-BSR

Hi to everyone,
I'm lookin at getting the new MSI Ultra-BSR Mobo but I'm not sure about 2 things.
- First, does it support Raid on the regular IDE port for the HDD. I know it does on the S-ATA ones but for now, I've got 2 regular Parallel ATA HDs, and if it does'nt, can I get an adaptor to plug the IDE drives on the S-ATA connectors ???
- Second, I'm lookin also at putting a XP 2600+ on that board but I don't see anywhere if I can step system bus at 166 Mhz to drive the XP 2600 at 2.13 Ghz. I did see on one site that there would eventually but didn't have the jumpers yet !!!
Can anybody help me out with those 2 questions ???
Thanks a lot and hope to hear from you soon
Peter

Yes, KT4's Promise PDC20376 Serial ATA (2 channels, 1 device per channel) and 1 Parallel ATA RAID (1 channel, 2 devices per channel) controller does support the feature you mentioned. The Serial ATA ports are not RAID (correct me if I'm wrong)
KT4 is certified to support 166Mhz FSB Athlon XP 2600/2800. Don't worry about that.
Thanks you for your insight. I've been reading a lot the last two days and I'm not sure if I should give the VIA KT400 chipset a try yet. Seems it's not that great after all (speed wise at least) and that we should wait for the second release to come out (apparently soon).
What do you think about that ?
Appreciate your point of vues, thanks again

KT4 ULTRA FISR SATA Problem

I really need some help here. I have a KT4 Ultra board with SATA Interface and a brand new Seagate Barracuda 120 GB. On to the problem .. when i booted up the computer for the first time, it detected my disc. After that .. i was testing som different settings in the BIOS .. and had to clear the CMOS Now .. it won´t detect the drive at all. It says something about "No drive attached to the FastTrak controller. Bios not installed/loaded" I have installed all drivers and stuff that came with the board but no luck. Is the driver loaded into the BIOS from the beginning or? How do i get the d*amn board to detect it again? I can´t even enter the bios setup (for the SATA controller.. ctrl+f) So .. i can´t really do .
Help!

It says jumper (Factory only) so i don´t think u are supposed to jumper it. It´s master by default. At least that´s what seagate claims =) Or?

KT4-Ultra-Onboard sound problems

I bought my KT4 Ultra in September and I've heard some talk about being defective. Just to start off by saying that for it may be my problem.... Anyways, I'm having problems with my onboard sound. When I play music, my sound kinda stutters. To best describe it, my sound doesnt skip or anything, but every now and then i hear an extra "drum beat" in my music where there shouldn't be. Please post if you know anyhing about it. Thanks.

Thanks Vatoloco
I know my problem doesnt have anything to do with ripping or the software. All I knowis that the problem is with either my motherboard or something involved indirectly...
Anyways, to help you out, thry using different software and see if that's the problem. If not, try unplugging all your IDE cables and audio cable in ur case and reconnecting for you might have a bad connection. Lastly, check out your cd drive.

KT4 Ultra-BSR multipler & CPU volts on XP2400 dont work!

Well after several atempts and clearing the cmos several times the multipler dosnt work on XP2400 and when you go to change the cpu voltage from auto it comes up with strange symbols not a voltage to select! so iam stuck at 141fsb and CPU voltage set to auto i can change the FSB only except lower or to 141, why is it asus and epox can change the multipler and we cant on our MSI KT4 Ultra, iam disapointed and who wouldnt be after all others can change there multipler!
any surgestions would be welcome and i think MSI should address this problem with a bios update and also look at the voltages for CPU as symbols mean nothing to me! ?(

Oops, I meant how did you connect the module to the motherboard?? I can't find anyway in which to connect it directly into the mobo, and I didn't get a cable with mine. (I still haven't got to the software side of it yet - the hardware has been my prob for the past few weeks, no-one seems to be able to answer me).
Hope you can tell me how to do it (pref with some pics or something coz I'm starting to think my retailer sent me the wrong board).
Thanks!
