MSI K9A Platinum and VIA drivers issue? XP 0x0000007B stop error.

I get a Windows Stop error when trying to boot into Windows XP with new components. The SATA hard drive (and Windows XP installation) is from the old computer.
The new computer components are:
MB: MSI K9A Platinum, chipset: RD580 (North Bridge), SB600 (South Bridge)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+, boxed (the cooler and fan came with the CPU).
Video: MSI Radeon 1950 XTX
The old (and working) computer setup is:
OS: XP Professional
MB: Abit AV8-3rd Eye, chipset: VIA K8T800Pro + VT8237
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Video: Sapphire Radeon 9800Pro All-in-Wonder, videodriver: atidvag.dll version 6.14.10.6542
HD: Maxtor 6B200M0 SCSI Disk Device
BIOS: Phoenix 6.00PG 20.04.2005
System drivers with "via" in the name: VIAAGP1.SYS, viaide.sys, viasride.sys
VIA 4in1 (Hyperion) version: 4.55 (that can be found at HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Via4in1Driver).
VIA 2.20e SATA/RAID driver was used when installing this computer setup.
The precise stop error is:
0x0000007B (0xba4c3528, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
From many sites I have gathered that the error is related to Windows XP not being able to access a critical system drive. Most probably the SATA hard drive issue.
The problem probably is the VIA drivers of the old motherboard and/or the SATA driver.
First I should mention, that MSI K9A Platinum does not have a hard disk SATA driver. If it does, I have been unable to find one. Certainly no such floppy disk included, and no such driver in the MSI's Web page for this motherboard.
Second important point: I never used RAID. I did use VIA 2.20e SATA/RAID driver disk when installing Windows XP to the old computer.
Strange that the hard drive model is reported as a "SCSI Disk Device". It's not a SCSI drive however: it's a SATA disk.
I have tried to uninstal the motherboard chipset drivers (Hyperion v4.55), but there seems to be a bug here: the drivers should be uninstalled using the installation program, and select the uninstall option. However, I do not get the uninstallation option to choose at all! Yes, I'm using the normal installation mode, not the quick installation (although tried that, too). The Hyperion setup program just installs, and asks to reboot the computer. After rebooting and trying again, it still does not offer me an uninstallation choise.
I know how to install hard drive VIA SATA driver, but I have no idea how to uninstall it. And I'm afraid to do that without certainty that it IS the solution, since I could not access the hard drive any more in the old computer setup (and return to read this forum). Also, I do not have a floppy drive any more. Anyone know if there is an issue with K9A and XP having VIA SATA driver installed?
When I tried the new computer setup, I first tried the simplest possible hardware combination: there were no CD/DVD-drives, no (parallel)IDE hard drives, and no PCI cards, except the MSI video adapter.
My BIOS Setup experiments. None of these helped: got the same stop error each time.
1) I didn't much touch the BIOS setting first. Just tried to boot with the settings BIOS came with.
2) Next I disabled the integrated audio, LAN and IEE1394 devices and floppy drive and disabled all other choises except the SATA drive as a boot device.
3) Next I tried with the fail-safe BIOS defaults.
4) Cleared CMOS.
5) Changed OnChip SATA type from Native IDE to Legacy IDE. (Only one boot attempt with the setting as Legacy.)
6) Disabled PCI IDE BusMaster.
7) Never touched anything in the Cell Menu: so the settings are in minimum.
A step I have taken after the last attempt: run Windows XP hard drive error-checking tool to every logical drive with the fix option selected, and the system drive also with scan the bad sectors option selected.
My plans next are:
1) to install a newer Hyperion driver. If that would correct the no-unistallation-choice-bug,
2) to disable USB-devices in the BIOS (desperate),
3) to choose the Windows general video display driver (although I seriously doubt this is a display driver problem!).
4) to uninstall the Anti-Virus software (Avira Antivir).
I've read a numerous Web pages so far about the 0x0000007B stop error. Here are some links:
Quote
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/knowledge_base/
Stop 0x0000007B or INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
This Stop message, also known as Stop 0x7B, indicates that Windows XP Professional lost access to the system volume or boot volume during the startup process. This error always occurs while the system is starting and is often caused by one of the following:
* Hardware problems
* Corrupted or incompatible storage drivers
* File system problems
* Boot sector viruses
* Outdated firmware
During I/O system initialization, this error can occur when:
* The controller or driver for the startup device (typically the hard disk) failed to initialize the necessary hardware.
* File system initialization failed because the system did not recognize the data on the boot device.

You receive a Stop 0x0000007B error after you move the Windows XP system disk to another computer
SYMPTOMS
After you move the Microsoft Windows XP system (boot) disk to a backup computer, you may receive the following Stop error when you try to start the Windows XP-based backup computer:
STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF741B84C,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
CAUSE
This error may occur if the registry entries and the drivers for the mass storage controller hardware in the backup computer are not installed in Windows XP.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this error, use the same hardware for the backup computer.
Heh, heh! Very nice Microsoft, but I plan to update my computer, so I NEED to use different components

Device Driver Issues
You may receive a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message in the following scenarios:
•   A device driver that the computer boot controller needs is not configured to start during the startup process.
•   A device driver that the computer boot controller needs is corrupted.
•   Information in the Windows XP registry (information related to how the device drivers load during startup) is corrupted.
Hardware Issues
You may receive a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message if there is a resource conflict between the boot controller and another controller or between SCSI devices. You may also receive this Stop error message if drive translation is not being performed or if drive translation was changed. To troubleshoot this issue:
1.   If an IRQ or I/O port address conflict exists between the boot controller and another controller, Windows XP either stops responding (hangs) or displays a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message. If you recently added new hardware, remove the new hardware or reconfigure it so that it does not conflict with the resources of any other installed controllers.
2.   If you are using a SCSI hard disk, check the SCSI chain for correct termination. Remove any unused SCSI devices or make sure that each SCSI ID is unique.
3.   Make sure that drive translation is turned on (if it is required) and that it has not been changed. For example, if you recently switched controllers, this issue may occur.

SYMPTOMS
When you start your Microsoft Windows XP-based computer after you replace the motherboard on the computer, you may receive a Stop error message that is similar to the following:
STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE
CAUSE
This issue may occur if the new motherboard contains an embedded IDE controller that has a different chipset than the original motherboard.
RESOLUTION
Method 1: Perform an in-place upgrade of Windows XP [<- That means repair installation of Windows XP]
•   Do not use a repair or in-place upgrade if you suspect disk problems.
Method 2: Repartition and format your hard disk and reinstall Windows XP

Alright I got the situation over.

I did try all all the above, and none of them helped.
And by the way: after installing the new Hyperion (VIA chipset drivers), I was finally able to also uninstall. It also uninstalled the IDE SATA (I think) and PATA drivers.
But what I had to do, was to make a REPAIR installation of Windows XP.
So, I was wondering now afterwards: this is really, really silly. Why the hell we need to re-install Windows if we move the SYSTEM SATA drive to another computer? We don't have similar problem with parallel IDE drives. Whom should we thank here??
The issue is to insert the driver files and the information of the ide drivers Windows should use with the next boot. How can it be this difficult?
What you basically need is..
- the information about the new chipset's PCIIDE.SYS/[VENDOR_PROVIDED_FILE].SYS and ATAPIIDE.SYS inserted into the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSetXXX\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase
- and the vendor's IDE drivers to the %SYSTEMROOT%/System32/drivers folder.
Maybe something else, I don't know. But the problem was, Windows didn't know how, or what drivers to use. That can't be so big problem you need to install the whole OS anew!

MSI 865PE Platinium edition board failure?

hello guys,
umm i recently upgraded my pc's powersupply unit and installed a new MSI NX6200 video card in my MSI 865PE Platinium edition board. well when we started the PC there was no signal display on the monitor and i failed to get the my pc started the power was on but nothing on screen, no beeps from the motherboard at all. The D brack on the back of the pc indicated memory failure so we took out the memory nothing no beeps i asked a computer seller guy to check it he said that the chips of the board are not getting hot but are cold so might be the board failure, i really don't know what to do, the warrenty is over as it was 1 year nearly and i don't get it the CPU did not fall or nothing only thing was i usually never cleaned my pc from inside so dust could be the reason or could voltage surge or something could have done some damage anyway my 130 $ board has failed from MSI gurentee tests or whatever . ;-((any suggestions ? guys

midhat, try go through this to find out what's wrong?
is there a buzzer/speaker on the board? If there is no, can you hook up one buzzer on your casing? After that, try this:
1. remove EVERYTHING, except CPU. No RAM, no display, no EVERYTHING ELSE. All OUT!
---> you should hear 3 long beeps. If no, you have pretty much a dead BIOS, or an unsupported CPU, or a dead CPU, or a dead board, or really bad PSU.
2. as (1), but add RAM.
--> you should hear 8 fast long-short beeps. If no, it could be half-defected RAM, bad chipset, bad board, or a bad PSU.
3. as (2), but add Display card,
--> you should see POST screen. If not, then bad display card, bad board or bad PSU.
4. as (3), but hook up the rests, one by one. Try to repeat power on again and see what's wrong.

Hello all
I buy a K9A Platinium last week and i waiting for receive it but my question is : Can i do a Raid 0 with my 2 Western Digital 150 Go 10 000 rpm on it ??
Thanks for futur answers and sorry for my bad english ^^.

yep, i have 2 wd 150 raptors on that board over a month now in raid 0. no problems other than i would like to use a bigger stripe .

MSI k9a Platinum + PowerColor 1950 pro extreme + bios v1.6

Hello! At motherboard stood version firmware v1.4 Run test 3DMark2005 and received 10,444 importance to my configuration (which is a good figure). Then Live Update pointed out that there are newer BIOS v1.6, I flash. Then began receiving in 7048 3DMark2005 :( Tried to reinvent the windows XP, set new driver, not helped, Clear CMOS. ReFlash to version v1.3 (why not found on the website version v1.4), and miracle! 3DMark2005 shows 10456 . It can be concluded to reduce speed blame new BIOS. So do not recommend placing Edition v1.4 above.

Here we go AGAIN, I will explain this AGAIN .......
Do not flash the bios if there aren't any problems!
Flashing the bios is only usefull if you experience compatibility problems between certain hardware devices in your pc. So, leave the bios alone!
A BIOS IS NOT A DRIVER!
And, like it is with drivers, newer is not always better! Some driver/bios are meant only for newer hardwaremodels.
LEAVE IT ALONE, UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO MESS WITH IT.
So, Foxyrus, lesser points in 3DMark was completely your own fault, not MSI's. Telling people not to use the 1.6 bios is nonsense. In your case it did not work, but for some folks it probably will work.

MSI DKA790GX Platinum & AHCI

Friends...
I wanna use AHCI to MSI DKA790GX Platinum Motherboard.
How should i do.

Hello!
You need a lot of components to be able to use AHCI. PSU, processor, memory, etc. etc.
Have a look in BIOS under Integrated Peripherals. If you run XP I suggest you do not change to AHCI.

MSI P43T-C51 AHCI?

Hi I Would like to know if there is, and how (in the BIOS) I can switch My motherboard (MSI P43T-C51) over to AHCI? I have looked online but I cannot find a definitive answer?
I already have the info on how to do it in windows 7 (via microsoft website)
but before I make the changes I would like to know if it is possible? and how?
thanks

Look in 'On-Chip ATA Devices' > 'RAID mode', I think it should be there to select it.

MSI K9A or K9N for an AM2/AM2+ system?

I was given an almost-unused Athlon X2 6000+ CPU and 4 sticks of 2GB Corsair DDR2 CL4 memory and I was thinking of building a system using the above MSI mobos, but I can't decide between going with an AMD 790FX-based board or an nVidia nForce 780a-based one . Any significant differences between them performance/reliability/stability-wise?
Also, are there any MSI AM2/AM2+ boards using the AMD 700-series chipset that also utilize the SB700 southbridge? Even the top-end 790FX-based boards like the Platinum series use the older SB600 southbridge, although AFAIK other brands have used the SB700 chip for their AM2+ boards. I plan to eventually maximize the potential of that K9-series board I'm getting by getting the fastest CPUs usable for that board, like the Phenom II X6 10xxT series. So I'm not interested in getting lower-end AM2-only boards or AM2+ boards that can't use the newer 45nm or 125+ watt AM2+/AM3 CPUs. I'm open to other AM2+ boards if there are better bang-for-the-buck boards than the various K9A/K9N Diamond / Platinum / SLI permutations, even non-MSI branded ones. Thanks in advance. Also, please, no suggestions of just getting AM3/AM3+ boards, etc., because I would like to minimize my expenses for now since I'm building this system not as a high-end one, and I would like to fully utilize the above-mentioned existing components.

I was thinking the newer boards would have solved the issues of the previous boards and at the same time would have more newer features. Hmm, came across this tidbit on another site:
Quote
ratts: He asked about OC'ing, not onboard video. A board with a SB750 will nearly always (if not always) do better than a board with a SB600.
OP: If you're overclocking, you'll want the DKA790GX. The K9A2 Platinum uses a SB600, while the DKA790GX has a SB750.
If you don't fit one of the following:
1. Using three cards in crossfire.
2. Using four cards in crossfire.
3. Using two cards in crossfire with PCIE x8 or x16 RAID card(s) in second (and third) slot(s).
4. Using one card in crossfire with two or more PCIE RAID controllers, sound cards, or other PCIE devices.
Then a 790FX will provide you no benefit. Go with the GX, so you get the SB750, and get better OC'ing results.
NewEgg has three 790FX+SB750 boards available, if you think you'll need the additional PCIE x16 slots:
Foxconn A79A-S - $165
DFI LP DK 790FXB-M2RSH - $165 (only has 3 PCIE slots)
Asus M3A79-T Deluxe - $190 (supports up to 4x4GB memory, others only support up to 4x2GB)
Hmmm, I may have to get another brand if I could get newer features like USB3, etc. I read that there's a GigaByte AM2+ board that have that, couldn't find the link again.

MSI 975x Platinium PowerUp Edition - SATA2

Hey guys, I have a 250GB sata2 HDD..When I try to connect the HDD to the first 4 sata ports (violet ones), the bios read them as : IDE not SATA...Therefore im using the Jmicron port till now..
Any answers for that?and is good that way or I have to do something?
Thanks a lot...

That's why I said 'upto' as that is suppose to be the industrial standard. But if you Intel RAID two drives you will surpass that. I have a SATA II 80GB and SATA I 250GB in a RAID 0, giving me 152GB of space and getting 320 mb/s burst speed.
You will find my benchmarking for all modes SATA, AHCI and RAID on this post and make up your own mind which is the best.

MSI K9a platinum

Hi, i'm italian and i'm the owner of the mainboard in the subject.
If i set the bios option "Onchip sata type" in the controllere SATA section as " Native ide" then
a bang appears in the windows "system" section for the "secondary ide channel"!!!!
If i set the "legacy ide" option instead of "native ide" the bang disappear but it seems the speed system decrease....
I'd like to know what is the correct option for my sistem and if it is "native ide" how to correct the bang.

What Bios version are you running?
I Have flashed with the file 7280v12.zip 28/09/2006 found in the bios section of the mainboard.
I have flashed from a bootable-cd with ramdrive yesterday night (Italian time)
I really don't know what else i can do...
I have downloaded all the drivers from the Msi homepage section K9a and i have tried to install in different ways several times to solve the problems.
I have solved a "floppy disk" bang (i have no floppy in my system...and it was disabled in the bios...) but i haven't been able to solve the Ide Channel bang.
P.S.
Amd away driver option "El" installed several tmes...to be sure....
I really hope you can help me!
It is the second Msi mainboard in a week i change...the other one was the K9n platinum and i had really a lot of compatibility problems...

MSI 870-C45 AHCI Mode for SSD

Hi there,
Just bought one of these boards and would like to check if i'm doing anything wrong.
I need to install W7 on my SSD, which goes perfectly with default bios options, but if i change to AHCI (Integrated Peripherals > On Chip Serial ATA > Raid Mode > AHCI) i can then no longer install on the SSD. I get the "Windows cannot be installed to this disk, your computer hardware may not support booting"... blah blah!
So, is there a different AHCI setting? Do i need an AHCI driver during install? I'm stumped, any info would be greatly appreciated!
Dex

I have the same problem with the same motherboard, i cannot install using AHCI.
What is the source of this problem and how can i fix it?

MOVED: K9A Platinium - PC freezes everytime I insert USB device win 7 x64

This topic has been moved to Windows 64bit.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=141830.0

I hate to revive a solved thread, but I had an issue doing the same task -- installing Windows 7 x86 in a Windows Virtual PC instance on a Windows 7 x64 operating system. This thread was the top result, but it did not solve my problem.
My problem was not related to a bad download. I was able to confirm that the SHA1 was the same for my MSDN download as what was listed on the website. In other threads, some people used USB flash drives to install Windows, but I don't have access to one
of those. I tried using Virtual CloneDrive to mount the ISO as a drive, and I tried burning the ISO to a DVD and running it from the physical drive as well. Neither worked.
Here is what solved my problem:
In the VPC profile, if you right-click and select "Settings", then select the "DVD-ROM" option on the left, it will give you the option to select which physical drive the virtual machine will be using. Instead of using a drive, select "Open an ISO Image"
and browse to the file that way.
For me, this circumvented the whole CD/DVD driver issue and I was able to install Windows successfully.
