MSI KT6V-LSR (MS-7021) Can't Boot From CD/DVD

New to the forum and would like to say hello to everyone first.
Here's my problem i can't boot from my DVD drive, my 2 HDD's and 2 DVD drives are working fine inside windows.
Inside the bios screen they are detected in the right order, and are in the right boot order. I checked the jumpers on them and they seem fine and i haven't touch them since i changed my dvd rewriter 6 months ago and i have booted from a cd since then.
I just booted up the Windows Xp disc on a differnt pc and it worked fine, yet on mine it goes straight to my XP OS.
I was hoping someone could help me out, thanks.

Did you install Nero 9 by any chance?
Even if you didn't, and old version of InCD can cause this too.
The problem is upper/lower filters, they are screwed and thus your CD's are missing in action.
Run this tool inside windows: ftp://ftp6.nero.com/tools/General-CleanTool.zip
As for booting, change the boot order in the BIOS, probably set to harddisk first.
If that doesn't solve it, disconnect one of the CD's and test with a single one, maybe one is broken and hinders the other, but that is my last guess.

MSI KT6V-LSR, (MS-7021) and WinXP after upgrade

I upgraded from K7T266 Pro 2 to MSI KT6V-LSR (VIA KT600) and Windows XP (Home edition) boot correctly, but after auto-loging they stop responding to me (I can move mouse+keyb), but the system is running (after 5 minutes screen saver starts). I see, that XP wants (P&P)to install new CPU (Athlon XP 2200+). Safe or debug mode does not help. Is it necessary to reinstal Windows ? Is there any chance to repair the system?
(When I gave there old CPU - Athlon 950, the system P&P halted on detecting CD-ROM).
Thanx for helping or giving me some link on the web.

So then this is not a fresh install of win xp on the KT6?
Also what is your full system spec's Please include Power supply AMP's

Problem: installed new hard drive but can´t boot from leopard dvd

So I just installed a new hard drive in my ibook G4. At first I started up the computer using the leopard DVD I had purchased. Got to Disk Utility and after a few seconds in the spin wheel came up and froze. So, I shut the computer down and when I tried to boot it again from the DVD I wouldn´t even reach the apple screen. Tried it a few times unsuccessfully.
As an alternative I just tried booting the comptuer using the original CD and it did read it.
I am currently at the installer page but I am concern about installing the old CD as I really would like to run the leopard dvd 10.5.
Is it that my ibook g4 can´t be booted from leopard dvd?
Please advise. thanks!!

OK, so I decided to leave my computer resting all night and give it a new try this morning.
This morning I was able to boot from the Leopard DVD, so I don´t really think it is a problem with my superdrive. Started to format at 32 minutes to complete. Then towards the 10th minute the spinning wheel appeared, I heard the fan running, then it stopped and then I heard the superdrive making some reading noises. Then all noises stopped and now the spinning wheel continues..not sure what to do now.
In the meantime, I wanted to share also another problem that I´ve been having for quite some time which I don´t know if it is related to my current problem. It is with the computer power:
- I´ve been experiecing load surges that take my computer from 100% to 1 or 0% and then goes to sleep or shuts down. The same thing happens when I am charging the computer.. it starts charging and showing 2 or 3% charge and then jacks up to 100% in minutes.
- My computer also makes like a slight humming noise sometimes when the ring around the power cable is in orange color, so I move it around until it stops. When I do that sometimes it goes from orange to green eventhough it is not fully charged. There has been times that under green it appears to be charging (battery charging icon on desktop shows up), and other sometimes like right now when it is in green color and the battery icon on the desktop says ´99%´. Weird enough, once I get the cable in a certain position it enables the battery to charge, if I keep it without moving it, the load surges disappear (at least for some days).
Should I try resetting the PMU? I´ve not done it because I don´t know what consequences it may have.
NOTE: When I bought the computer I never calibrated my battery because I was (and still are) clueless when comes to computer technicalities. I tried using a different power adapter and get the sample problem.
Below is the information I get from coconut battery:
My battery is in its 256 load-cycle. current battery capacity 58512mAh (original battery capacity: 4400 mAh).
The last system profiler I was able to pull shows:

Imac g5 crashes while asleep; can't boot from cd/dvd

My imac g5 crashes while asleep. Both the display and hard drive are set to sleep.
In trying to fix this problem with Apple tech support, I've discovered I can't boot from the cd/dvd. When I hold down the letter c while restarting, the disk ejects. I've tried three different disks: the install dvd, a Norton Systemworks bootable cd, and the bootable cd from AppleCare. All are ejected.
Have I got some hardware problem(s)?

Since we couldn't fix this over the phone, it's now at the Apple Store being fixed. They've replaced the power supply and, after I called again and made sure they tested it by having it sleep for a couple of hours (they couldn't wake it up after that), they're replacing the logic board.
I've been disappointed by the amount of hardware that's had to be replaced on this computer. I also had to replace the mid-plane assembly about six months after buying it in Sept. 2004.

Qosmio E10-102 - Can't boot from CD/DVD

Hi,
I have a Qosmio E10-102 Notebook here. The Hard Disk is defect and I have to install the operating system on a new hard disk but I cannot boot from CD/DVD. After the Qosmio Boot Screen it displays "Insert system disk in drive. Press any key when ready...".
When I press F1, I get the ACPI BIOS version 1.5 boot menu, but I only can change date, time and the password. The Boot Priority is HDD -> FDD -> CD and I can't change it. The manual says to hold F12 while Booting, but this has no effect. Even pressing the "c" key doesn't boot the Disk.
I tried do put the hard disk in an other Notebook and install there, but the Windows installation disk detects, that this is no Toshiba Laptop.
Any idea how to solve the problem?

If you cannot change it in BIOS settings it must be locked somehow and F12 will not work either. There is no sense to have non working option in BIOS but with F12. When this is locked in BIOS you can change just some basic stuff in BIOS but you will not have access to all other advanced options.
If this option should be disabled than on all levels.
Such locking will be always made in companies to avoid that people who work on notebooks can change anything and also have influence on preinstalled OS.
The whole story is strange to me. Try to contact Toshiba service and ask for help. They can unlock BIOS.

Portege M200 - Keyboard is not working and I can't boot from CD/DVD

Hi
I recently tried installing VM Player on my Toshiba M200. When I rebooted my machine I found my network connections did not work. I tried to uninstall the VM Player but it failed half way. As the program had created a number of virtual network connections which I could not delete I went into the registry and delete 20 or so entries I thought where related.
I rebooted and found my HID Keyboard and Wireless devices not functioning. So I began using the softward ketyboard to try and fix the problem. I was able to reboot and login using the software keyboard until I did a restore to last normal boot setting. At which point, instead of getting my login window I get a message box asking me to press Ctrl-Alt-Del. When I do so using the software keyboard I get another window saying because of security I should press the Windows Security Key instead of the Ctrl-Alt-Del. When I press the Windows Security Key Button on the bottom right side of the screen nothing happens.
What can I do. I have also tried attaching a USB CD drive (Philips) but cannot get the notebook to boot from it. I get an error message (so I have got it looking for CD boot drives) saying the notebook cannot find the drive. The CD lights up during bootup but only for a sec.
I am desperate so please let me know what options I have or what I can do about this. The physical keyboard works during the bootup until the Windows first booting screen appears. No Caps lock or such working by the time I get to the login screen.
Thanks in advance for any advise you can provide.

Hi
A long story about your issue... I think the reason of this is why you have deleted some registry keys. If you delete something in the Windows registry you should really know what you do. You can damage the complete Windows system!
So I think this is the reason why the keyboard doesnt anymore.
In the user manual I have founded that the CD-ROM booting option is only available with optional optical disk drive.
So for me it sounds like that your USB CD drive is not compatible to the notebook

Lost Admin Rights - Can't Boot from Install DVD

On the first day I clean installed Leopard. Apart from one or two minor issues (since resolved with help from you guys) everything was working fine -- until now?.
Today, I tried to update NeoOffice as I've already done twice since installing Leopard, but can't get beyond Administrator Name/Password. I only have my account on the machine, so popped into system preferences to see what's going on:
My account is now "Standard" not "Administrator"? Other posts suggest Reboot from DVD/ Utilities/Change Password etc.
2. But I can't change any settings like "Start-up Disk" or "Account Privileges" in System preferences without Administrator Name/Password.
3. Can't find a way to reboot from DVD (Have tried "C", "Option"). Just keeps coming back to Login Screen.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same problem. After installing Leopard all my accounts were changed to "Standard". So I try to boot to the CD and hold down any boot commands (c or command-s or option) and none of these work. Talked to Apple for an hour on the and they want me to take it to an Apple because there is firmware that locked.

KT6V LSR (MS 7021) SATA controller card second opinion, please

I want to thank Fredrik Asenius for his reply to my previous post.
However, due to the fact that the purchase of a SATA controller card and two SATA2 hard disks will be handled, of necessity, at a distance of 800 kilometers (involving courier expenses), the technician of the store has requested that I ask for a second opinion from another expert in the forum. An error, therefore, could be very costly. (No offense of any kind intended to Fredrik Asenius)
My motherboard is the MSI KT6V LSR (MS 7021) Via KT600 Northbridge and Via 8237 Southbridge chipsets.
Both SATA connections are currently taken up by two SATA hard drives (no striping, nor mirroring in use). The rest of the installation consists of IDE CDRW and DVDRW drives, as well as an MSI Nvidia NX6200AX (256 RAM) AGP video card and a Soundblaster Live Value PCI audio card. The other four PCI slots are not occupied. The system also has 1.5 gigabytes of RAM and a 520-watt PSU. I am running Windows XP SP2 Professional.
My questions are the following:
(1) Since the two SATA connectors on my motherboard are occupied, if I wish to add another SATA device I will have to install a SATA controller card. Does the SATA controller card have to be SATA 1 or can I also use a SATA 2 controller card?
IMPORTANTLY, the technician questions whether the motherboard will accept a controller card adding more SATA devices. He says that you cannot add any more SATA devices to this motherboard. Is he correct?
(2) If it is possible to add more SATA devices using a controller card, since the chipset on the motherboard is Via the SATA controller software is also from Via. Does the SATA controller card also have to be one that uses the Via SATA RAID software? (In other words, are there compatibility issues? Can all this all work together?)
Once again, thanks for the help.

I have had a fair amount of experience with this kind of issue.
1. No, the add in card does not need to be SATA I, it can be SATA II. I recommend a SATA II card and SATA II drives. Putting SATA II drives on a SATA I controller can fail to work.
2. Is he wrong? Essentially, yes he is wrong. It depends on how literally you take his words. You can NOT add more SATA drives to the motherboard. You CAN add an add-in SATA card and then put the additional SATA drives on that new add-in card. The difference in wording the answer is critical.
You ask about the Via chipset on the motherboard and also on the add-in card. Actually, it is probably LESS likely that the add-in card will work if the chipsets are the same. The issue is the computer being able to differentiate between the two controllers. I had this very problem with a machine.
That computer had two add-in cards. Each was the same brand. The computer could not differentiate between the two cards and gave a hardware error. I replaced one of the cards with another brand and it works fine. The manufacturer suggested trying the cards in different PCI slots. I did not try that, I just got a new card because it was easier for me.
The add-in card does NOT need to support RAID, that is optional. If you do not want to use RAID, the card does not have to support it. If you do want to use RAID, obviously the card does need to support it. RAID is part hardware and part software so if the card supports it and you do not to set it up as RAID, that is fine.
One caution...If the add-in card has an external port that you want to use, be aware that there is something called e-SATA that might use an incompatable type of port connecter. I had a card with that connecter and I found that the cables are extremely expensive and also hard to find. Most external SATA connectors are the SATA I style that you are used to though.

Imac 21" mid 2011 can not boot from USB device?

Hi,
hope someone can help me.
Bought the new imac 21" and replaced the superdrive with a ssd drive.
Works great but it seems that the imac is not able to boot from any usb device.
I put my osx install disk in my external dvd drive and powered my mac.
While booting up (pressing cmd) the mac does not recognize my external dvd drive. This works great with my MBP late 2008. But the imac can not boot from the dvd drive. Also pressing "c" while booting does not work. Doing that a grey screen appears and after some time mac boots from hdd.
So i installed mac os via target mode over firewire withbmy old imac. This works.
But now i want to install windows on a bootcamp partition.
I can't boot from the windows 7 professional dvd, too. So i tried to create a bootable win 7 thumbdrive. Mac can't boot from this too. Reading many threads in some forum i tried with rEEfit. Reefit shows the usb thumbdrive whike booting, but using this will end in a black screen error from bios: "no bootable device....". Tried a knoppix on the usb thukbdrive, too.... No bootable device....
It seems that there is no way to boot from ANY external usb device like dvd drives or thumbdrives......
What more can i do? I tried for 2 evenings now, but nothing worked out for me......
Currently i don't see any any to install win 7 without an internal superdrive, but can this be??
Thanks for any comments.
Kwicks

Internal is definitely the easiest but you can boot from external HD or external optical drive, the mac is just very picky on what works and what doesn't.
For an external drive or usb stick it has to be GUID partition table and have 10.4.5 or better installed on it, for more info check this link out ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1948 )
Hope this helps,

How to reset password if you can't boot from DVD?

I just bought a second external disk drive and installed Leopard on it. When it asked me if I wanted to import my information from my internal drive, I said OK, not realizing that since I had a blank password on this drive (running 10.2.8), that would not work with Leopard. One of the reasons why I bought the second disk drive is that my internal superdrive failed, and I had added on an external Lacie superdrive which does not function as a boot drive, and I wanted to run the new OS on another drive so if one drive failed, the other would work as a boot drive. However I can't boot from the DVD to reset the password on my external drive to an actual password. I disconnected the external drive and am working on my internal drive with 10.2.8. (So something I planned for worked)
I suppose one solution would be to erase the new external drive and start the whole install process all over again, making sure to add a password on this drive first. But that took about five hours and I'd really rather not. Is there some way to reset the password remotely using the OS from my internal drive to look at the external drive? Or is the non-boot from an external USB superdrive a problem unique to 10.2.8 but if I set the external drive to be the boot drive, the Leopard DVD would boot the external drive?
Thanks.

Thanks. Thankfully, when I thought about it, I realized that the computer had booted from the external superdrive to install Leopard, so I figured I'd give it a shot by selecting the install disk as the startup disk and restarting, crossing my fingers and hoping. It worked, so I was able to simply reset the password using the reset password function. Perhaps the issue with the external superdrive is that if it's not already mounted with a system disk before you restart, it won't do it after it starts up in event of failure.
And if that hadn't worked, I would have booted from my internal drive, used disk utility to wipe out the external drive, put a password on the 10.2.8 account, and done the whole install process again and migrated the account now with a password to the drive.

Can't boot from older 10.5x CD

Hi all,
I have to run two Mac OS's on my MacBookPro because a piece of software that I use does not support Snow Leopard.
I was really happy to find that SL allows repartitioning without having to erase any volumes! (glad I didn't have to try gparted) However, though I was successful with repartitioning, I have come to find that I can't boot from my older OSX 10.5x CD.
Is it not allowed by apple to run two different OSX OS's on one machine?
Thanks,
Donovan
P.S. Holding down the 'C' key prompts multiple repeated "chimes" (reboots).

it is certainly allowed. However, you can not use an older DVD to install OS on a newer computer. this will not work and that is what is happening to you. the older DVD lacks the necessary hardware drivers for the new computer. don't try to force your way about it. don't try firewire target mode or anything else. it will only result in a non-functioning system. if your computer can not boot from this dvd then you can not install the OS provided by this DVD on your computer.
Thanks,

Ibook g3 M2453 boot from external DVD drive

Hi, I'm Simon from Germany.
I have an iBook M2453 Mac OS X and a lot of dvds.
But the iBook has no DVD drive. So I bought an external DVD drive. But no matter what I do during boot (press the C key or alt)
I can not boot from external DVD drive.
Please help me
Thank you.
Simon.
PS: I have translated the text using Google translate

Hi Simon,
the iBook is able to boot from USB, but this is not expected behaviour and not supported by Apple.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA20554
There are some external enclosures that do the trick.
But only when you press ALT after Power on. (Select a startup volume via the Startup Manager)
External enclosures with Prolific PL-3507 chipset (Firewire/USB Combo)
You will find them on Ebay Germany
I have a Delock IDE>USB 2.0 enclosure for 2,5" HDs
http://www.delock.com/produkte/gruppen/Geh%C3%A4use/Delock_25_external_enclosure _USB20_42365.html?setLanguage=EN
that works also.
Hallo Simon,
das läuft nur mit einigen wenigen externen Gehäusen. Such auf Ebay nach "PL-3507"
und nimm eins mit Firewire und USB Anschlüssen.
Ein Festplattengehäuse von Delock für 2,5" Festplatten ging auch ( Link oben)
Ein Boot ist nur möglich wenn du die ALT Taste nach dem Einschalten drückst und dann über den Startup manager dein Boot volume auswählst.

HD Samsung SP2504C SATA II vs MSI KT6V-LSR: How to install?

Hi everybody,
Ok, i will try to explain the problem with my bad english, so please dont laugh!
I have two modeboards, the MSI KT6V-LSR and ASUS A8N-SLI SE, recently i acquired the HD Samsung SP2504C SATA II for the ASUS, and it works perfectly. So i needed to install this HD SATA II in the KT6V-LSR and i followed some proceedings first:
*The HD already had the XP SP2 installed using the ASUS one
1_i placed the jumper and the HD changed to 150
2_i pluged the data cable in the right conector and the power cable (i tryed in both channels, but only in one the hd is reconized)
3_removed the ide pata 40gb (samsung too)
4_Enabled ide sata in bios
5_configured to boot using hd sata
The system rebooted always just after the bios scrreenies. Strange, the HD PATA worked, came from the asus too! So i decided to format this HD sata. Like always i followed this steps:
* My XP cd dont have service packs and boot system
1_i used a floppy with WINME boot + smartdrive
2_delete partition, create and set active
*3_format c:
4_f:cd i386
5_f:i386\winnt
*Other strange thing, the formatting time just take a few seconds unlike the several minutes that normaly takes.
I started to install the XP anyway, and after the copy of files from cd to hd, during the first boot appears a blue screen, and the messages are relationed to the new HD, so the installation stop. I tryed several times but the same thing happened.
The HD sata is reconized in the windows, shows patitions, i transfered 13gb from it to the hd PATA, but i had to boot using the PATA one. I want to use this HD SATA like master, bootable, not like slave.
How to install it, how to format it properly?
I hope that my confusing explainations are sufficient to you understand the problem.
Some help please!
And thank you very much

This being really difficult to explain the problem with my so bad English. I go to try to use a translator online, ok?
I use the floppy of boot of the WIN ME, is through it that I obtain to define the partitions, to format hd, and to install the XP. I always made this and always it functioned, also with this HD SATA II samsung 250GB, but only using motherboard ASUS A8N-SLI IF. But when I go to make these procedures using the KT6V-LSR, I do not obtain to format hd right and I do not obtain to install the XP. Then the problem happens before installing the XP, during the formatting. So i want to use only de hd sata, not the HD PATA.
Another thing, I read in one fórum of my country that the KTV6-LSR can damage and even though to “kill” the hd sata. This is really?

MB MSI KT6V-LSR & VGA ASUS V7100pro compatibility

Hi all,
I'm about to buy myself the MSI KT6V-LSR motherboard. In the specs it is written that the AGP slot supports 1.5 volt video cards. The problem is that my VGA card is an old one - Asus V7100 pro (geforce2 mx400, 64MB) which is a 3.3 volt card. I can't afford to get a new video card right now
Could you tell me if this combination is going to work at all?
Thanks in advance

Well, I've bought the mb and now the pc runs with no problems at all, no compatibility issues. The VGA driver is the standard Forceware 61.67 (not very sure about the version).
Great mobo btw - easy to install, well designed, lots of features
I didn't like the Core Cell software, in the left it displays only the FSB, for the others N/A is shown. When I increase the FSB in this program the system hangs (winXP). If I do the same in BIOS, it works ok... I think I'll uninstall the program.
The CPU in an old Duron Spitfire 600 MHz (6*100FSB), which used to go upto 850MHz by changing the multiplier (changing the FSB did't work) on the old motherboard. With this mobo it does 133MHz FSB with no problems - now running at 6*133.
