KT4A ULTRA 6590 DVD and Floppy issues

I'm stumped and frustrated...please be kind! I've upgraded my KT4A ULTRA 6590 Ver 1. with AMD Athon XP Barton 2500 for my kids computer. Everything works great except I cannot see files on either my DVD or 3.5" floppy...unless there is a disk in the drive when I boot. Oddly, I can burn CDs but cannot see the result until I load the CD on my other PC. Through several suggestions from reading the forum, I did go to Safe Mode and sure enough the floppy and DVD work fine. I also tried another known good CD RW and it also exhibited this same behavior.
The BIOS version when I start up is v3.0 (see below), but things appear to be pointing to drivers and/or BIOS. Did update/install the nVidia driver for the video card and also updated to VIA 4 in 1 ver 4.55. Have made several unsuccessful attempts to use the Live Update 3...it basically does not do anything, or it must be incredibly slow when it goes to the MSI website.
In various other attempts to find the correct BIOS for MSI KT4A ULTRA 6590 vER.1, I visited the MSI iste "BIOS Search" and discovered that it has a version 1.4 (4/29/2003) and v3.0 (5/29/2003)...this looks fishy to me. On yet another MSI Mainboard BIOS detail it says use Ver 3.0, but in the very next line says "This BIOS cannot be used on KT4 Ultra (MS-6590)".
I was further consfused when attempting to determine which BIOS was installed. "MSI Info View" program BIOS tab says that "AMI BIOS version is 07.00T", While the MSI Fuzzy Logic program on the MSI info page says the "Chipset : Via KT600". Neither of these appear to be correct.
At this point I ready to throw this thing away and buy another board.
jw
-MSI KT4A ULTRA 6590 vER.1
-AMI rev 3.0??
-AMD Athlon XP 2500 Barton
- 512MB
-NVidia GeForce2 400 MX
-Power Supply 500W+
-40GB (IDE1 Master) WEstern Digital 10GB WD (IDE1 Slave)
-DVD RW NEC 3520 A
-Windows XP Service Pack 2

Cleared the CMOS and made the advanced chipset configuration changes...but no improvement. I did also confirm that during boot, the drives are recognized properly.
Not an expert, but since it operates normally in Safe Mode I'm still suspicious of the IDE, graphics drivers, and/or conflicts. When I look at the device manager in XP, the graphics drivers is new as expected, yet the IDE are standard XP. Since I updated to the 4-in-1 version 4.55, I would have expected some change to the IDE driver dates, but it appears is using the standard Windows drivers...but not sure.

Backup to DVD and quality issue

I didn't find anything related to what I am trying to find out.. so here goes.
I am using PE4 to catalogue and organize my video files (which I am editing in PE2).
One project has 9 AVIs, each of which is less than 4 gigs, and which I copied individually to 9 DVDs with the BURN\move files option.
A second project has 3 AVI's, each of which is roughly 28 gigs. I thought that rather than breaking these up into small 3-4 gig files (as I did with the first project) that I would just let PE4 tell me how many DVDs I would need.
It said this AVI was about 188 minutes and that it would need 1 DVD (only). It would appear that PE4 is basically determining the best DVD copying rate to make it fit, in as few DVDs as possible.
I'm afraid that this will create an inferior copy, which I don't want, as these AVIs are my best, captured off of original 8mm tapes.
Is there a way to control the DVD copying speed for maximum quality?
Thanks.

Well I'm no expert and I don't have a lot of experience with many kinds of video cameras. My very first was a video 8 Olympus when these first came out in the late '80's! It languished unused until this year, I started using it to capture, and then it promptly died. I had to borrow a co-worker's 8 to finish capturing the old stuff.... a family history project I began in '95.
I finally decided to get back to this project, and after balancing the features/cost, decided the 3CCD was worth it, this one in particular because it includes optical image stabilization rather than electronic, and various forums stated this made quite a difference.
I'm very pleased with it. It has a manual focus ring, an external mike input (a real must for me), great pictures even indoors with natural lighting, and an easy to get-used-to menu toggling switch.
There is now a newer model of this discontinued 250, and the reviews are really mixed. It's actually a dumbed down version of the 250! The reviewer said: "Get a 250 while they're still around." No manual focus ring, no mike input I believe, and a few other things.
So, maybe this will help. Stay away from DVD recorders though, as they make editing not only difficult but the edited results are degraded... Better to record with a DV tape and capture directly to DV-AVI, avoiding the DVD compression those cameras have to do before you even get started.
Well, this really belongs in the Pr.Elements2 forum. I think the PE4 and the PE2 are both great products though.

My DVD/CD-ROM and floppy disk drives can't read or write contents

When I check through the computor it says verything is working. I have some CD's I wrote data and files to with this computor but for some reason it's showing me that there's nothing on the floppy's or the CD's.
Mined you I have another computer and its able to see, write, save, to these same Floppy's or CD's.
It's also telling me to load the CD when its already in the RW devices in my computer.
I just reloaded everything on to a new hard drive in April, I used the DVD/CD-RW and everything was fine.
My model is Satellite 2415 S205. I have reloaded Drivers. What else can I do? I refuse to believe the RW/DVD and the "A" went bad at the same time.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

My systems runs great but when i play games sometimes my system crash and (very curios) before about 3-5 min of game play i see small interferences like small white orizzontal jolt similar the interference when a cellular phone ring near the monitor. the problem it persists with any resolution and any monitor refresh rate !!!!!
What i've tested:
I have the lasted KT4 ultra bios, test any Randeon Drivers (include the lasted 779 beta drivers) and lasted via's drivers
Near my monitor there isn't any interference source !!
Monitor is perfect (tested in other system )
it's not Radeon8500 problem because i play games perfectly in other system (a7v266 and same hardware)
KT4 are not damaged because i play game perfectly with another video card (geforce2 Mx400)
It's not a PSU problem because i replaced AMD athlon 2000 + with AMD Athlon 900 (the rest hardware is the same) and the problem it persists.
although i have 5 years experience under PC assemblage , I do not know that what to make!!!
is There an incompatibility with Radeon8500 and KT4 Ultra ??
Please someone can help me ??? ;( ;(

It might be the AGP driving value problem. Set it to EA in BIOS. It works for most people with components like yours. If that does not help, switch to AGP 2x and see if the problem went away. If it did, look for other DGP Driving values and turn off some AGP related features (sideband, fastwrite etc)
If that did not help,
See this post and try to draw come conclusions. Sometimes the Power Supply is at fault not because of being underpowered (which you checked with Athlon 900) but because of the incorrectunstable voltages and other similar crap. With 266Mhz fsb and 333Mhz memory interface the boards now are too sensitive to cheep power supplies.
Good Luck

Largest hard disk on MSI KT4A Ultra (MS-6590)

MSI say the largest hard disk the KT4A Ultra (MS-6590) supports is 160GB:

Is that right?
Does it apply to SATA or just IDE?
Can a BIOS update or other patch get over that limit please?
Thanks

I want to fit a 250gb HDD to my system. Will it work?
Check your board's support page here. Look for the Test Report for Hard Disks. Once a board supports greater than 137gb, any size drive will work. If you see a size such as 160gb tested as OK, then you will be fine!

Dvd Burner And Floppy Settings

HI,
I AM SETTING UP A NEW RIG ON K8N NE04 PLATINUM, WITH 2 SATA HD`S.
DVD BURNER AND FLOPPY WOULD BE CONNECTED TO IDE SLOTS. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU : CAN I SET THE DVD BURNER AS PRIMARY MASTER AND FLOPPY AS PRIMARY SLAVE IN THE BIOS ? OR SHOULD THEY BE SLAVES?
THANKS

You won't be able to put them on the same IDE controller nor master/slave them because you've to place the Floppy drive to the Floppy Controller instead of the IDE controller!

3.Should I install windows 7 drivers..?
4.Is there any specific drivers for DVD drive.?
Experts or those who recovered from the same problem. Please Help me.
thanks in advance.

Hi
Maybe your CD/DVD drive is getting faulty... What do you think?
But before you think about a new drive you should remove the upper- and lowerfilters in registry. You can follow the workaround from Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
Make also sure that the lens from CD/DVD drive is clean. You can use a microfiber cloth to clean it. This cloth doesnt scratch the lens.
Check this!!!
Last but not least there are no special drivers for CD/DVD drive. Its a part of Windows and cant be updated.

KT4 Ultra or KT4A Ultra ???

:D My new KT4 Ultra just arrived today! Before installing it I browsed the site and joined the forum to check for updates and gotchas.
?( How do I identify KT4 Ultra vs KT4A Ultra? Can I tell by the Serial Number or is there a particular PCB Rev or chip on the Motherboard?
TIA for constructive feedback.

:O DUH!!! Thanks! I hadn\\\'t removed the Mboard from the bag yet (embarrassed grin...)
Perhaps another dumb question -- despite years of tech experience this is my first MSI board: if my 6590 did not come with optional brackets, can I order them? If so, where? My 5 speaker system needs the optional S bracket. I\\\'m also interested in the optional D and Firewire brackets. Couldn\\\'t find a link on the Taiwan or US MSI web sites.
Thanks a million for your quick reply. My KT4 Ultra arrived in record time. FedEx delivered it two days early, just three days after I ordered it from NewEgg.com here in California -- including two weekend days. Next, YOU replied to my question in minutes!
This is a good omen about MSI and my new Mboard. Thanks again!!!

Thanks for all your help.
I tried that driver already...same result, but no matter.
I got this sorted today...went and bought 20 mts of ethernet cable, works a treat.
I've come to the conclusion that the USB WiFi Dongle is Kaput.
It looked like it worked in my laptop but this is already WiFi so I guess the new software was just using
the existing connection.
Dongle was never recognised in the desktop PC I wanted to use it in and in my other desktop was recognised as
Wireless USB Device but after trying to install it got to the same scenario where Windows could never find better drivers.
Just hope Ebuyer will take it back or the £8.50 it cost might bankrupt me!

KT4 Ultra (6590) need update of the Promise SATA RAID Controller PDC20376

The last Bios update AMI 1.4 for the KT4 Ultra (6590) have built in the bios version 1.00.0.18 for the PDC20376 (Promise 376).
I can configure 2 maxtor (6E040T0) sata1 in a raid0 array and it works under WinXP SP3,
but the 2 drives are working in UDMA5 according to the FastBuild Utility when the motherboard specifications talks about 150Mb (SATA1).
It's not an OS problem because the FastBuild Utility at Bios startup show the UDMA5 mode for HDD.
It's not a Maxtor 6E040T0 (SATA1) problem because have no jumper to set.
The Promise support center don't provide support for built in raid controller but the responce was that it's related to a known bios issue of the controller, so i have to update.
For the last Bios version for the S150 TX4 controller look at:
http://promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=108&category=all&os=100&go=GO
It's impossible to update the bios with the promise tool because the controller is integrated in the motherboard.
I read for example than on the motherboard K7N2 Delta-ILSR the bios version of the Promise 376 controller is 1.00.0.21:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=92756.msg665966#msg665966
I think the only solution is a modding bios, where i have to replace only the Promise controller bios but:
1) The tool amibcp.exe can't open the A6590VMS.140 AMI bios (renamed .rom), i don't know why!!!
2) What promise controller bios rom file is good?
Can anyone out there help . . . please ?

This is my results compared to my other UDMA6 HDD on IDE1, HDTach long bench stop with "Read Error" and only quick bench works.
The version of the Controller driver under WinXP-SP3 is 1.0.1.29 and I configured the driver in the PAM Utility with:
"Driver Write Cache" enabled and "Write Back" as cache settings (The 2 Maxtor SATA1 in RAID have 2MB of cache, but i don't know How many cache have the controller!!).
The Burst Speed is too strange!!! quick bench error?
I made it so your image is clickable.

Ok this is my problem With my sound turned on and the sound Acceleration turned on at all I get massive Video lag while playing open GL games.once I turn the sound off or turn the Acceleration off (turned off I get echoy stagered sound)the problem stops.
Things I have tried to fix it.
To start I was using the onboard sound with the latest drive.Thinking this might be the problem I turned off onboard sound. I bought a Typhoon 5.1 card same problems.So I bought a soundblaster live 5.1 card downloaded lastest drive same problems. just bought a soundblaster Audigy Gamer same problems. I tested my friends 2 year old soundblaster live 5.1 Gamer card and it seems to work just fine.
I have read both the KT4 Unofficial FAQ and the trouble shooting guide nothing in the two worked. I installed the lastest Via 4 in 1,video drivers and the lastest windows updates. I have tried moving all my pci cards in to each slot.I even went into my BIOS and swaped the IRQs for the PCI slots around.Only thing I have not tried is a bucket of water and a 20 pound Sldge. I have posted at 3 o4 other places no one can seem to find the problem PLEASE HELP I think I might be losing my mind.

fdisk formated and reinstaled windows 3 times. fresh install each time i installed a sound card. so I dont think lingering drivers is the problem which also means dx9 has been installed fresh each time.also I have been dealing with this for nearly a month and I am at a loss.

Cant boot from snow leopard dvd and install crashes computer

Folks, hi, newbie to this forum but at wits end.
I have a MacBook Pro 17inch mid 2010 model. I added the OMG disk doubler and ditched the internal dvd, so I now have 2 X 500GB hard drives, one of which has the OSX. This disk in trouble and Disk Utility says that it needs repairing, but i need to repair after booting from an different disk.
So, I added a usb dvd drive and put in snow leopard. It would not boot via holding down 'c' and the option key only saw the current drive. No problems I thought, I will install onto the second hard drive and boot from that. The process got a fair way though (20 mins) and the computer crashed. I checked that it is GUID, tried again, and ditto. So, I made a new partition that was nice and clean -- and ditto. Stuck about now, I tried to format a usb hard drive -- ditto. Hmm, didnt want to, but out came the second drive and in went the old dvd drive -- same issue -- could not boot using c button and the option key did not recognise the snow leopard install. Out came the drive and I went to the apple store -- they told me that the Snow Leopard I had brought was an upgrade and that I needed a Box Set. $169 later and - you guessed it -- the dvd is the same, no start on c, not recognised on option, and the computer crashes if I try and install to the second hard drive or an external drive.
Help anyone??

when i go to system prefs- startup, the dvd does not show up in the list of startup drives. The apple salesman said that the OSX install disk I purchased was not a start up disk / full install but rather an upgrade only disk. That is why he said to use the box set as a 'full install' - but both appear to not start up or be able to do a clean install. I just end up with a set of files call Mac OSX install files.

IQ826t Restart and Heating Issue

One thing I definitely do not like the HP's support especially when they will not allow us to buy a 7 Upgrade from Vista nor will they support something (even when I find their glitches and they admit after telling me it was just the OS).. On Repair work, I had to ship it out and this will be my 2-3 time to do repair on this PC in the past 3 years (and I have to wait a week for the repair to be done...)
Besides that, IQ826t, Win 7 Ultimate SP1
All Drivers are up to date with HP website (utilizing Win 7 64 bit drivers and Firmware is up to date). AVG update/scan (no issue - confirmed even rootkit).. Malwarebyte - Scan and no issue
Disk Cleanup, Disk Defragmentation done on a monthly and quarterly schedule
Biggest Issue:
I am getting a crash with Win 7 0x124 Stop Error Message (happens periodically and even after a reboot)
Never had this issue until May and the upgrade to Win 7 was done last year with SP1 update done on March (so it is not an issue with the OS as HP support personnel seems to think... I proved them the issue with Windows Update History, The Bluescreen error code on my error code reader).. This machine under warranty and I had issues with it constant (even in Vista)
They state that it is the OS.. Again, if that was the case, I would think it would happen right away like my Toshiba on SP1 upgrade... That was not the case in the matter. I have a firmware reset (default settings) and the issue persist..
The Error Code relates always HAL.dll or ntoskrnl.exe
One if hardware compatiblity and the other is an OS kernel exe file.. And this usually checking knowledge base relates to hardware failing due to 1) Compatibility (which HP website confirms is not the case) 2) OS corruption (which is not the case checking on safe mode and this happening STILL 3) Heat Issue (which I believe is the issue and was been documented on the Internet
What I am noticing is the unit is extremely HOT (vent is almost burning when it has been off and just turned on).. I wonder if the hardware pieces are literally melting to destruction since I can't just open it up (they state it will void my warranty)
The Symptoms before the Crash (happens any time.. Even right after a power up)
If you are playing audio or video, you will start to hear jitters and sound seems to echo itself .. Video would start to lag and become choppy.. Systems start to slow down and things seem to run very slow.. I have seen the power light on the PC start on but the touchscreen just go black (will not restart sometimes)..
Minor Issues (but could be related)
1) When running PC Hardware Diagnostic, they will come up with an error code in the past and that was warranted for a motherboard replacement (of course, they ship the box to the wrong location and I was in the middle of my wedding so I get to it now).. It was pertaining to PCI Express Status ICH9 PCI Express Root Port where it will generate an error code... Now, running the diagnostic... I will not get any error but PCI Express Root Port 3 & 5 do not show up on the diagnostic... Wouldn't that obvious show something that is a problem when there are 6 ports (which on the previous diagnostic that I can't grab past logs shows that). That is not warranted for a warranty work? Just a note, I got the fail test code (which was intermittent but keep happening and the tech support would not look at previous case.. Port 4 failed and a fatal device code)
2) Blu-Ray player will not run and their answer is that it is your Blu-Ray until they realize that I ran it on 3 different Blu-Ray player standalone, different Blu-Ray, and confirm DVD will work.. They still think it is a software issue until they can't deny my point when it will not read the Blu-Ray no matter what (they took control and confirmed it).. They believe the HP SmartDVD software was failing because of Win 7 and not Vista (even when I downgrade and confirm it works, I stated the software is the issue... Lone and behold, 2 months later they had an update that they refuse to admit I was RIGHT on the matter and done 15 hours of troubleshooting that they were wrong about)
3) Wireless Keyboard and Mouse lost connectivity even if the battery is not low... Just stop typing or omit letters.. This is considering the keyboard is literally in front of the touchscreen
4) Touchscreen is sensitive when it wants to be but won't in other... Constant issues there
This is why I have so much issue with support.. They seem to show that they will do anything to deny the issue.. Heck, I am a computer technian calling on the issue.. It ain't like I didn't troubleshoot on the matter... But they think we are all morons and when I prove them wrong, they will use any excuse to honor warranty... That is why it is amazing..
