MSI B85M-G43 can't install Windows 7. Hard disk not detected.

Hi,
I just built a new computer for the first time. I followed the instructions and did everything correctly. but am unable to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Hard disk isn't always detected during the installation.
But when it appeared in the "Where do you want to install Windows" list along with system, I tried to format the hard disk and got a message "Failed to format the select partition. [Error 0x80070057]."
Then I restarted the computer, the hard disk no longer displayed in the list, so I put motherboard driver disc and clicked on Load Driver and opened Storage\Intel\PCH_12.0\f6flpy-x64. It loaded, then I got a message saying "To continue installation, use the Load Driver option to install 32-bit and signed 64-bit drivers. Installing an unsigned 64-bit device driver is not supported and might result in an unusable Windows installation."
I restarted again and disabled Driver Signature Enforcement, but it didn't help. I still got the same message.
In the computer case I have these devices:
- MSI B85M-G43, Socket-1150
- Intel Core i5-4430 Processor
- Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB
- MSI GeForce GTX 650Ti BOOST 1GB
- Cooler Master GX 550W PSU
- WD Desktop Green 1TB
- SuperMulti 16X DVD(+/-)R/RW 12X RAM (+/-)R DL LightScribe SATA drive
Everything is plugged in correctly. Hard disk connector plugged in SATA 1 and DVD -> SATA 2.
The installation is pretty slow, regardless if i install it via USB or x16 DVD. All except DVD and hard disk are disabled. It's also worth to mention that even DVD and USB aren't always detected in the click BIOS.
So I'm wondering if anyone here can help me? Thanks

Hi and
1: What BIOS version you have? .. Have you tryed to downgrade/upgrade it already?
2: Have you tryed it in those SATA 2 ports? ...is it same strory?
- On SATA there aint any master or Slave like on IDE so if you are under same controller it dosent mutter what port you use on what device.
Note: SATA 3 Ports are faster then SATA2 ports, but even SATA 1 can handel your DVD or HDD. So no lose if you need to use SATA 2 ports.
Hope this get you foward! Cheers Mummy

My Windows got bad after SP2 was installed so I went to reinstall Windows...

This happens soon as the cd starts to read the files/installing files after format.
I haven't been able at all to install Windows successfully (I don't even get to windows).
My system is listed above and as you can see I have tried with 2 different graphic cards, 2 different rams and with/without the booster, with/without the soundcard, 3 different dvdplayers and 3 different Windows XP Pro.
Och and yes I have tried the hardware (except mb & cpu, don't have another Amd 64 mb or cpu) in an another computer and they work fine.
Nothing works.
Could it be that the mb that is bad or?

MSI Z77A-G45 can't install window 7 by raid 0

I have a rig which:

Power supply: 700W
Ram: 32GB DDR3 1333 MHz

After configuring BIOS to setup RAID 0, I was trying to install Window 7 on my 1.8TB ( which was summed of two HDD )
But I got a problem about couldn't install the O.S on.
***And about the VGA, whenever I plug it in my mobo, my monitor shows black screen as it doesn't recognize the VGA card. What happen if I install window then add the VGA card later? Will it affect on my system later?
And what should I do to install RAID 0 with my stuff? I appreciate all supports.
Thank for read and answer my topic!

The 660ti will require a bios update to use most likely.
Is the system stable enough to flash? The forum flash tool included memtest, run this an so long as no errors or crashes, go ahead a flash to the most recent bios.

Make sure in you next post to include more detail on the raid set up error. What error? When did it fail?

Satellite A200-137 - Can not install windows after hard disk crash

last week my a200-137 crashed and now i have new hitachi 500 gb hdd on it, same as before the crash.
I install with Toshiba recovery DVD windows Vista on it and after succesfull install i have to start windows, it says preparing windows for first use then i have to wait a moment and then i get the message that windows installation is not completed. But it is complete!
After trying for 3 times installing with recovert I tried to install windows xp.
After a couple of minutes and transering files, I get the message no disk found! It says that there is no hard disk on the laptop!
But when I start up the boot menu or the setup menu I can see the 500 gb Hitachi hard disk!
So why can windows not find the hard disk and why can I not start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?

> So why can windows not find the hard disk and why can I not start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?
On this virtual way it is not easy to say why you cannot install recovery image. It would be interesting to know if the same will happen when you replace HDD with the same or identical one.
Which capacity has had original HDD?
If possible try to obtain original Microsoft installation disc and check if HDD will be recognized by Vista or Win7 and of course if you will be able to install and start preinstalled OS.
About WXP installation: it is well known that WXP installation will not starts properly due to missing SATA driver that must be loaded before WXP installation starts.
Check this forum and you will find hundreds of threads with detailed explanation why this happen and what can you do about it.

HELP Can't install windows 7, drive is not mbr

Hi all! Here's the thing. I wanted to install windows 8 on my 27" iMac. I partitionned my drive with boot camp, installed windowsm everything went great. My partition is a 30gb partition. I then added a third partition (I'm used to do this, all my work files are there in a safe place.) Once windows was installed, it kept saying not enough space... Found out that windows 8 x64 takes a whole 30gb installation!!!! I just couldn't beleive it!
Seems that Windows 7 install is much less. I booted in my win7 install USB key, formated the drive and tried to install. Now it says that the drive isn't in MBR.
Is there a way to install it anyways?
Some suggest to use winclone. I made a clone of Windows 7 off my other iMac and tried to copy that image file.
I thought it would be perfect but, now it says that the drive must me disk0s4, mine is disk06 because of the EFI partition.
Please help out! I'm at a dead end!

Okay, I'll bring it home this weekend, Make an image of my first partition with my apps installed, and a second image with my work files. Back all that up to an external HD
I'll erase all partitions and reset it as one.
Install OS X.
Partition my drive with bootcamp (60gb).
Install Windoze.
After I'll partition my OSX partition in two with Disk Utility so I'll have 3 patitions in all.
HD 1 = Apps home folder etc...
Bootcamp = Windoze
HD 2 = Work files.
Will that work?
If I'm not satisfied with windows 7, can I erase that partition (not delete it) with the windows install DVD and install windows 8?
Thanks for your great help guys!

This question was solved.

Hi,
Given the fact that you're receiving a Smart error ( 301 ) for the hard drive, this is almost certainly why you are running into issue when try to reinstall Windows 7 and to correct this, the drive will need to be replaced.
This is a fairly straight forward procedure as detailed below.
Your notebook is listed as coming with a 320Gb HDD, however the drive on the link below is an example of one that would be fine for your notebook and offers a bit more storage.
500Gb Hard Drive
The procedure to replace the Hard Drive starts on Page 53 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Once done, just install Windows 7 on the new drive.
Any drivers you require can be found on the following link.

PowerBook G4 1Ghz (Nov 2002) - can i install a 160gb Hard Disk inside?

Hi
I have a PowerBook G4 1Ghz (Nov 2002). I want to upgrade the internal 4200rpm 60gb drive to a 5400rpm 160gb.
Can my PowerBook address the full 160gb? Or is it limited to only addessing 128GB of it.
This page seems to says any mac introduced after June 2002 will be fine with drives over 128GB, but it seems like it's just refering to desktop macs.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
Can anybody confirm that it will work?
Thanks!

I'm just wondering why the 667 won't recognise them?
The ATA controller used in those logic boards is not 48-bit LBA compliant. The first Powerbook LBs that had such a controller were the 867MHz and 1GHz boards used in the later DVI Tibooks. Other Macs introduced around the same time also had controllers that allowed the use of internal ATA drives larger than 128GB. So yes, the second part of your post is probably correct.
But be aware that after upgrading to a faster LB, you may no longer be able to boot to the discs that were shipped with your Powerbook or to those that were shipped with any other Powerbook, including a factory 867MHz or 1GHz Tibook. If that's the case, as it has been for some others who've reported here, it will leave you without any way of reinstalling a bootable OS 9.2.2, in case you ever want to. OS X 10.2.3 or higher can be installed from a retail installer disc set. But there's never been a retail OS 9.2.2 disc, and the DVI Tibooks won't boot to anything lower, so no retail OS 9 disc is usable with any of those models. This mattters less and less to most people as OS 9 recedes into the past, but it's something to be aware of.

I need to install a new hard disk - not sure how to install

Hello;
I travelled for a month, and didn't turn off my imac, which I thought I did. My country is hot at this time of the year.
When I got back home, I found that the desktop was crashed, so I did a restart and the computer never booted. I tried again and again.
I performed qa recovery boot, and using the utility I tried to do a disk repair. It initially found problems and started working on them. However, it always crashed in the process after many hours. After several repititions and a lot of research, I booted my iMac with a ubuntu live CD and the diagnoses it performed told me that:-
1- The hard disk will fail, and this is inevitable, something about S.M.A.R.T. (?).
2- There were HDD fan cooling thermal problem, and some read/write problems, and something third.
At this point, I recovered the 'User' folder that includes the desktop, my documents, pictures, etc, and seems ok to run on other O/s's.
I am willing to also retrieve the applications folder if possible, with all the programs.
I feel I need to replace my 1 TB hdd with a new one, but if I did, I have no clue how to install it. I do not have the installation CD's. I bought it installed, and then upgraded to snow leapord using iTunes.
If I found a shop to do the replacement of the HDD' how would I install Snow Leapord again? Is there any other advise?

I started this morning at 12 and after 5 hours now the backup is about 6 GB up on 56 GB.

5 hours to do 6 GB of transfer is NOT normal, even for USB 2.0 so there's something wrong here. I'd say cancel it, wipe the drive and then test the integrity of the drive. Do some file transfers over to and see if it's behaving normally. It could be a bad USB cable, it could be a bad drive or bad enclosure. As it's new, I suspect you haven't really put it through its paces yet and it's important to do that first before commissioning it to serve as your "reliable backup."

Satellite P200-1EE Can I install a 2nd hard disk in the spare bay?

First of all, hi everyone!
I have the above model laptop, and it has a spare disk bay. There are pin connectors at one end, but it does not seem like the drive will fit. It's like there is a component missing - like the connector slot housing for the 1st drive. I have bought a 500GB drive, and have tried seeing whether it would fit. The 1st drive has a metal caddy attached, and that did not work either.
Is it possible to fit a 2nd drive to this model? If so, what would I need to do it?
Thanks!
Andy

Hi
If you have a connector in second HDD bay you can add a second HDD. But you will need such a metal caddy as on the first HDD. Therefore you can contact an authorized service provider because you can get all spare parts from them.
On the Toshiba website is a list of all ASPs, check this!!!

Internal 3TB Cavier Green WD Hard Disk not detect on mac but detected on Windows (Parallels

I bought a 3TB Cavier Green Western Digital and I have a Astone external 3.5 case. I attached both of this together and hook up USB to my Mac mini. It seems like my Disk Utility doesn't detect my 3TB at all, at first I thought my hard drive has a problem. So I open up Windows 8 on my Mac running Parallels and try it, It works perfectly and detected on Windows via Parallels and apprently it also detected on my Dell Inspiron Laptop. So I don't know what happen to Mac, it seems like Mac OS X doesn't want to detect the 3TB at all. Is there anything I can do?

I can guarantee you that it work seamlessly on Windows with the same enclosure, Windows 8 running Paralles on my Mac and Windows 7 on Dell Inspiron showing me 2794.52GB. I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I already check the System Profiler on my Mac where you click the System Report>USB. It can be detect, but not detail. I will try to run Terminal app in few days and will update you again. I emailed Western Digital. At the moment, this is what they ask me to do.
Please connect your drive onto a working computer with pure Windows environment and perform an "Extended Test" to test your drive for problems using Data Lifeguard Diagnostics for Windows. Kindly go to the link below if you need assistance:
http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=940
Please provide us the screenshot of the test result so we may verify the cause of the issue.
The "Extended Test" is going to take me 53 hours.
Do you think the next update 10.8.3 will help me? Because I read about BootCamp able to support 3TB hard drive.

Satellite P200-1EE - Hard disk not found if I try to install XP

Hi and I have a problem.
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite P200-1EE series laptop running (of all things) Vista and nothing but problems ever since so im trying to install XP professional and overwrite Vista.
But whenever I try to install it says "hard disk not found..... unable to access"
I've heard of problems like this before something like a "software block protocol"
Any suggestions?

Hi!
Why you dont search in the forum before you start a new topic?
I mean you will hundreds of threads about this issue here in the forum and you will find the solution of your problem in few minutes.
Well, the reason for this is because you need the SATA drivers before you can install Windows XP. As far as I know your notebook is equipped with an Intel chipset and so you need the Intel Storage Manager. You can integrate the drivers using an external FDD or nLite [www.nliteos.com]. Furthermore this document could be useful for you:

Can I Overclocking MSI B85M-G43

Can I Overclocking MSI B85M-G43 with Intel Pentium G3258? I'm A Starter....

You should be able to, with BIOS v3.7 or maybe later though there is no mention of it on support page.

MSI B85M-G43 could not detect Gigabyte R929OC 4GB 3X Windforce

I recently build a new PC a month ago and have been using it for 3 weeks then random black screens problem started to occur.
It started right around the time after I updated to catalyst 14.4 w/o the beta. At the same time i noticed windows update has updated some files which i did not note down what it was. Also Noticed that startup list had some new programs running.
I proceeded to disable the programs in startup, undo the latest windows update and finally reinstalled windows 8.1
Nothin works and I am left with black screen, which i realised that to be actually the mobo not detecting the card once i got a vga screen plugged in to mobo onboard graphics and went to BIOs to see.
Previously my BIOs were updated to latest through the liveupdate 5 program, which itself updated to liveupdate 6. For some reason I dont like programmes sitting at the back constantly checking for updates, so after updating those, I deleted all those programs. The updates also took forever to download, I figured i will download/install individually in future. Now that I do a search there is no live update 6?
Just to make sure, I have reflashed the BIOs to E7823IMS v3.6 again through the m-flash inside BIOs, but did not choose the BIOs + ME option as i dont know what it is. After reboot, BIOs version remained there, checked for ME and there's the version number 9.0.21.1462.
BIOs version: E7823IMS v3.6
ME version: 9.0.21.1462
Prior to the Win8.1 reinstall, my OS was sitting on my SSD in non UEFI mode, I chose to install in non-uefi as i dont know what it was then. When i tried to reinstall, somehow the boot priority identified the SSD as UEFI first, so i wanted to give it a try and proceeded to install win8.1 in UEFI until reboot failed. Then I decided to installed my win8.1 on my HD in non UEFI instead. The system, as usual, works using the integrated graphics and mobo could not detect the graphics card in the only PCIe 3.0 x16 slot. Should I plug it into the PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and try, It never occur to me until now as I thought that was the only slot my graphics card could use.
Please help
Here are my specs:
MSI B85M-G43
Intel i7-4770 3.4GHz
G.Skill Ripjaw 1600MHz (2 x 8)MB Blue
SSD Samsung Evolution 240GB
WD 1TB Blue
Gigabyte R929OC 4GB 3X Windforce
LG 24x DVD Writer
Corsair Carbide Air 540 Case
SeaSonic G-750 80+ GOLD Power Supply
ASUS PCE-N53 PCI-E Adapter
Windows 8.1 OEM
Qnix QX2710 Evolution II 27" matte PLS monitor (uses dual-DVI-D connector only)

try to update your bios again but use the BIOS + ME option as it will flash not only your bios but Intel ME at the same time.
Note: Don't remove your USB during bios flash as the system will restart for I think around 2 times and plugging out USB might kill the MB bios.
Did you modify any settings in the bios setup??
If updating bios not can't work, try to plug your card to second PCIE slot and see if it could boot or not.

I know there are many other threads, but I guess I couldn't find clear answer to this problem. Is that the Apple's server problem or just me?
I'm trying to install Windows7 via Bootcamp, with FAT 32 formated USB with ISO, on Macbook air 2012.
Thanks!

The problem is the encryption and how your notebook handles it rather than a Time Capsule problem. I had similar problems until I updated the WLAN drivers on my IBM T41.
The way I convinced myself it wasn't an Apple problem was to connect my IBM T41, via ethernet, to my AEBSn. I was able to connect to internet so I knew it was a conflict between my wireless card and the AEBSn.
I am now using the WPA2 encryption for the AEBS without issue and connecting many different types of hardware; three iPod Touches, two MSI Wind Netbooks (Win XP SP3), one IBM T41 (Win XP SP2) wirelessly and both my 20" iMac and Dell 8250 Win XP (SP2) by ethernet
The MSI Winds are brand new and they would connect to the AEBSn but couldn't get an IP address from the internet (Limited or No Connectivity error message). The AEBSn was using WEP encryption. After doing a little research I found that WEP was a very common cause of this error message so I switched the AEBSn to WPA2 and everything works fine now.
Don't assume that because you can't connect via OPEN it isn't a encryption issue because my Winds wouldn't connect that way either...it wasn't until I changed to the WPA2 Personal that they connected.
You may also need to change the program that handles the WLAN connection, sometimes Windows handles it better but for the newest addition to our household, the MSI Winds, I am using the Realtek utility that matches the WLAN card and everything is hunky dory...
Finally sometimes firewalls will prevent getting the IP address...doesn't happen often but it has happened to me so I would double-check that by turning off the Windows Firewall and just verify that it isn't the firewall (that's never been a problem with my Apple AEBSn but it was a problem with an older Dlink g model).
