MSI K8N NEO2 Raid

I have a MSI K8N NEO2 and have lost the floppy to setup raid. Does anyone have a link to make a nvidia raid floppy disk.
Thanks
Ronnie.

Don't need to copy the folder Quote
raidtool
as it won't fit on floppy, just copy the rest as Russ_xp  says.

  • MSI K8N Neo2 Plat. + Audigy2 woes

    Hi.
    I'm getting the dreaded Machine Check Exception(0000009c) on my rig and it seems no amount of tinkering can get this combo to play nicely, and as I know there are quite a few more of you with the same problem out there(and a lot who DON'T have this problem) I thought it could be interesting to find out a bit more about this.
    My box:
    A64 3500+(newcastle)
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
    2x512Mb (Kingston HyperX PC3000...old stuff from my KT333-mobo)
    Audigy 2 (SB0240)
    HIS 9800Pro Ice-Q
    +other stuff that  doesn't affect the problem
    Running WindowsXP SP2
    I've tried diff bioses (1.2,1.3,1.4b1), I've tried tweaking the pci-latency of the audigy(raising from 32 in steps of 8 to 96) with powerstrip. Tried moving the card to all available pci-slots(the audigy is the ONLY pci-card in my rig, its just the audigy and my 9800 in its agp-slot).
    Tried all different driver revs for the audigy, from the one on the included cd up to the latest. Tried changing that pci-clock setting in the bios(hidden setting), to no avail.
    I've run memtest86+,windows memory diagnostics and prime95 as well as a few other diagnostic tools from the UBCD for hours on end without any problems whatsoever.(at first I was inclined to believe that the psu might have something to do with this, but I don't believe that anymore, the problem seems to happen to people no matter WHAT psu they use.)
    Facts:
    1. With the audigy2 in place my machine WILL freeze with the 0000009c-error sooner or later(might take hours, might happen in 5 minutes). It does however seem to be related to using the soundcard(just sitting in windows without using the soundcard for ANY sounds keeps the box alive a lot longer than playing BF1942 and using teamspeak)
    2. When I remove the Audigy2 from my system and use the on-board sound the lock-ups stop, no more machine check exceptions.(this isn't a solution, its a workaround)
    3. Some people have the same problem while other people seem to be able to use audigys in their machines.
    My guess is that it might be related to what model/version of audigy one has, that earlier audigy/audigy2-cards wont work properly...
    So, those of you that have the problem, what model/ver of audigy/audigy2 do you have?
    Mine is a SB0240.(random 0000009C-errors)

    Model number on the box or the white sticker on top of the card.
    Same card here Audigy2 (SB0240).
    I don't remember the error message I got but it was something about a conflict with the nVidia RAID controller. It was right after updating the Creative drivers so I immediatly removed ALL Creative startup programs and services with msconfig. No more problems. It runs great. There is the occassional rare "burp" through the speakers but its no problem.
    In "msconfig" uncheck the following under the "Startup" tab.
    CTCMSgo
    CTDVDDet
    CTHelper
    CTsysVol
    SBDrvDet
    regsvr32 (no problem so far with unchecking this one. I noticed there's a copy of it in one of the Creative folders. regsvr32.exe is a command line program used to register and unregister object linking and embedding (OLE) controls such as dynamic-link library (DLL) or ActiveX Controls (OCX) files that are self-registerable. This may be necessary to troubleshoot some issues with Windows, Microsoft Internet Explorer, or other programs.
    Attention the same filename is used by some spyware programs.)
    In fact the only startups I've left running in msconfig are...
    nvraidservice
    NvCpl
    zlclient  (ZoneAlarm)
    Next click the "Services" tab in msconfig - check "Hide All Microsoft Services" and uncheck "Creative Service for CD-Rom access".
    I guess it should also be added that a couple of days ago my system became extremely sluggish and had difficulty starting up. There were a couple of BSOD's. Pressing on the back of the case near the PCI slots caused the lights to flicker. Uh-Oh! Apparently the Audigy2 card was a little loose in its slot. Reseating the card seems to have solved that problem.

  • MSI K8N NEO2 Plantinum 54g, Fails to Boot.

    It has only been problems.  
    HK: MSI K8N NEO2 Plantinum 54g
    CPU: AMD64 3200 Winchester
    PSU: CWT 350 W 12=16A , Chieftech 360W 12=18A.
    RAM: Corsair PC3200 XL Pro, have been testing with other corsair and Kingmax.
    I have been trouble shooting for about 14 Hours now. But the pc just dont want to work. The thing that happens is that i turn it on. Then it turns it self off randomly. Sometimes after 5 sec hen 20 sec then 15 sec ect ect. I cant even get into Bios. Well have been into it for about 1 sec , doesnt help much.
    I could think it is the ram but it works in other computers so does the powers. But if I use the Xl Pro Ram then the screen is showing and it lasts never more than 20 sec. With other Ram it goes forever but i get no picture on monitor. And the speacker goes like Beeeeep, Beeeep Beeeeeep, Beeeeeep Beeeeeep. I have Flashed the bios to the 1.3 version, with Hotswap. But it didnt help much.  
    And by the way the Zalman CNPS7000BCU its metall backplate does not damage the HK because the hole under is to Big.

    Hi !
    Well, I have that problem, too. I think the reason is a new RAID-BIOS-Version built in the BIOS-Update. I´ve tried the beta-versions V1.51 and V1.5X, too - but they won´t run anyway.
    My WinXp hangs while booting (before the WINDOWS-XP-Logo appears, or while fading in...). I cannot reinstall Windows completely because, when I install the 2 raid-drivers, the installation routine hangs before the licensetext - when I don´t install the drivers i cannont install on the raid-drive (beacuase the installation routine shows 2 hdds).
    I think, a new driver will solve this problem, but I don´t know where to find it....

    HI! i'm the one wih the raid problem on a k8n neo2....
    That's what a i Did.. i unpacked the exe and copy the files in a floppy... question is: if i do that, windows instaler askme for some files that aren't in the .exe, anway it reconices the raid and everithing goes fine until the first BOOT on windos... it shows a blue screen, butremoves it so fast that i cant read it or pause the system. But i know it's a raid problem because if i install it on a ide disk it works.
    The nforce3 drivers are almost a year old, and i'm not sure if nforce4 is compatible...
    I think the're compatible because if you enter in msi driver download page and select my model, they put the Nforce3 and nforce4 for win64 and my model is only nforce3. The thing is they havent released the nforce3 for WIN 64.... So.. It's normal that win asks me for some files that ain't in the .zip file (i extracted the files o course) and Which driver should i put the Nvidia one year old nforce3 or the new nforce4. (the nforce3 for 32 bits is rejected by windows) or... i have to wait the new nforce3?
    thanks for helps

    Don't know if this helps, but your getting it anyway
    When installing windows don't have any Hard drives in front of your raid array, assuming that's where your putting your OS . Unplug them whilst windows is installed. This is due to the fact that windows places %systemdrive% as the first drive it sees (e.g 1'st master) , meaning it will be C: and hosts the os boot files .
    (Taken from Syar2003)
    Therefore if installing your raid on Sata 3/4 unplug all IDE Hard Drives plus SATA 2/3.
    Once windows is installed Plug 'em all back in

  • MSI K8N NEO2 + wd raptor 36gb??

    Can you install windows XP on a wd raptor 10K sata 36gb with a MSI k8n neo2 nforce3?
    and btw.. whata heck is raid?? im soo confused that I might go and bath in the icey sea brrrr
    thx for any help =)

    You don't need to configure it as a RAID, use this procedure:
    - Have only the SATA drive you want to be the boot drive in your system.  Disconnect the power to all other HDD's if any.
    -  Have only one optical drive. Disconnect the power to the other optical if any.
    -  Plug SATA drive into SATA 1  (it may show us as an IDE drive somewhere down the list in BIOS.  That's okl)
    -  Enable appropriate SATA options in BIOS.  Set boot order to floppy, cd, SATA drive.  Set boot priority to SATA drive.
    -  Partition and format using the utilites CD that came with the SATA drive.
    -  Run Windows setup.  No need to do the F6 thing unless you are planning to do a RAID configuration.
    -  Windows should install just fine
    -  After you are up and running, plug power back into your other drives if any.
    I hope this works for you.

    bhanja_trinanjan,
    If you can get 2.3.3.6 Mushkin, OCZ, or Corsair, then you would be the set.
    PC-3200 or higher would be the way to go. If you ever plan on overclocking, then PC-4000 is the best option.
    Take Care,
    Richard
    Thanks for your help. I am trying to locate Corsair dealers in Kolkata(My hometown). Are there any known issues with the K8N Neo 2 FX? I bought this motherboard just a few days back and I am facing so many problems.
    Does this motherboard undervolt the AGP and RAM slots? Will I have to increase AGP and DDR voltage to make my system stable? Doesn't the raising of these voltages shorten the life of the video card and ram modules? I want to buy Corsair/OCZ/Mushkin. But in case it's unavailable, will Kingston RAM lead to an unstable system?

    LG 4163b dvd burner
    Nothing has ever been overclocked on this system.
    Everything is plugged into a Belkin Surgemaster powerbar.
    I haven't mentioned the power supply. I'll get to that. I have been using an ANTEC NEOPOWER 480W POWER SUPPLY (ATX12V  DUAL 12V RAILS ACTIVE PFC W/ DETACHABLE OUTPUT CABLES) for about a year on this system without
    any issues. One morning, I wake up, hit the power button on my coolermaster case, and nothing happens.
    CPU fan won't even spin. Nothing happens.
    O.k., blown power supply, I think . . . .
    So I take out my Antec and put it in another system. That system turns on
    without any problems.
    Hmm . . .
    I come here, and I read posts about
    potential compatibility issues with Antec power supplies. But if it's a compatibility
    issue why was my system working for about a year?
    O.k., fine. I'll buy a Enermax 535W EG565P-VE FMA 24P (115/230 VAC) power supply.
    I just plug it into the mainboard (nothing else). Hit the power button . . .
    The CPU fan spins for half a second, and then nothing.
    Did my motherboard just suddenly die for no reason?
    Any suggestions?

    Pull the AC plug from PSU and set cmos in clear position with battery removed for atlest 20 minutes perhaps longer .
    Then try to post the system barebone .
    Just cpu,1 pcs memory in slot 1 , gfx card , and keyboard in PS2.
    No usb devices at all including card reader and no pci cards harddisks or cdoms/dvd/floppy.
    It could also be caused by a short or a malfunctioning fan connected to mobo.
    Try to disconnect all case fans from mobo headers if you have any connected to additional fan holders.
    The chipset fan can also be disconnected momentarily just to see if it posts.
    If none of this helps , replace cmos battery and try again .

  • MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Fan

    For some reason the small chipset fan on my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum mobo has become a lot louder, I think it is running at higher RPMs that before. It starts up loud even if the computer is doing a cold boot from room temperature. Is there anyway to control this fan speed and quiet it down? and if I slow it down, will it hurt my motherboard? This fan is now louder than my graphics card fan, which makes it the loudest fan in my case even though it is the smallest.

  • MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum slows down

    Hi,
    I have a little problem with my new K8N Neo2 Platinum. I installed Windows XP and the newest nForce drivers but if I copy files over LAN (tested both LAN-Ports) or install big applications my music played with winamp slows down. It's played with half speed. In addition to that my mouse pointer is very slow. After the setup or copying files everything is how it should be again. How can I solve this problem?
    My system:
    AMD Athlon64 3500+ (Winchester)
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum-54G (tried different bios releases)
    1024MB Corsair XMS Twinx DDR500
    ATi Radeon 9800 Pro
    2 80GB Maxtor S-ATA (DMA Mode enabled)
    Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live! Player 5.1
    MorLipf

    Hello,
    I copy files to my bro sometimes, 5Gb - all the steam GCF files for CS/HL/CSS/HL2.
    My network usage is 80%-92%
    My CPU usage is always under 15%.
    It is worse when using 512Mb but as you have 1Gb it shouldn't be bad.
    Check in the device manager, your cd drives should be set to DMA mode.

  • Problem on boot MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum

    I am an italian lover of MSI motherboards.
    After I bought a MSI KT3 Ultra Aru, then MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and now I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum.
    My hardware are:
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
    Athlon 64 3200 Winchester
    Corsair XMS 1024 TWINX 3200 PLL
    Maxtor Diamond Plus 9 80 Gb
    Asus Radeon 9600XT.
    The problem is that at the power on the bios don't start. The LED on D-Bracket are three green and one red. On the manual this error are written:
    Inizializing Video Interface
    This will start detecting CPU clock, checking type of video onboard. Then, detect and initialize the video adapter.
    This problem is frequent for my motherboard. However not always.
    I attend your answer for this problem.
    Thank you for all and for my english school.

    Hi Italiano,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Have you details of your power supply. please show Maximum 3.3v,5v & 12v.
    These are usually on the side of the power unit.
    try:-
    1) Enter bios Cell Menu - HT change from 5 ---> 4 using +/- keys. Save & exit.
    If it still doesn't boot try:-
    2) Re-inserting your Asus Radeon 9600XT. Sometimes they don't go in correctly.
    3) See if you can boot with just 1 memory module in slot 1.

  • MSI K8N Neo2 and Creative?

    Anyone know of a problem between MSI K8N Neo2 board and
    Creative soundblaster audigy 2 card?
    My problem started as soon as i plugged in my soundblaster audigy 2 card,
    as a result i started to get randomly "Machine Check Exception" problems.
    Often when i play games where the sounds are continually.
    I've tried creatives support, but i can't find any solution.
    The onboard sound works fine, but i prefer the audigy card, as long as it don't
    restart my computer.
    Anyone have any idea what it may be?

    I am using an Audigy 2 with latest drivers and no probs whatsoever so it may not be a motherboard/soundcard problem
