Msi motherboard conflict w/ w.d. hard drive

installed new msi (pm8m-v) 2.93 intel celeron, 512 ddr set with a western digital hard drive.
when i turn the puter on it powers up for only a second then shuts down. checked all of the settings, jumpers, ide cables were changed w/3 different cables with the same results. I thought the drive was bad so I put it in a different puter it worked fine. tried a samsung hard drive on the msi board and it worked. the problem is i want to use the western digital with this board. Is this a bio problem,am i missing something in the cmos setup or i just got a bad board

I'll try the PSU that's working on the other system where the WD HDD works in this current system to see if the mobo is really at fault.

  • MSI6119 motherboard and Maxtor 80 GB Hard Drive don't work toogether ?

    Hello,
    I have a MSI 6119 notherboard and I am currently using a 15 GB Maxtor hard drive.
    Today I tried to connect a second hard drive (a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 80 GB
    ATA/133 hard drive), and when the bios tries to auto detect it it hangs).
    Does anybody here was able to connect big hard drives (80 GB +) to such an
    MSI 6119 motherboard, or is this a limitation of this board.
    Thanks :-)
    Itay

    Hey everyone...I seem to have the same problem, but when both hard drives are hooked up, my computer freezes on the first screen (I think it is called the POST?)..I hit delete to enter BIOS and nothing happens..I have to unplug it completely in order for my computer to start up... It just happened out of the blue, it was working fine (I just use the drive to store files, etc. and it has no operating system). Any ideas here? Thanks

  • P35 motherboard suddenly not detecting IDE hard drive

    Hi,
    I have a P35 MSI platinum motherboard. E6750 Core 2 duo 2.6HZ cpu, 2 x 1GB DDR2 ram,a standard DVD R/W, a 400GB Hitachi Deskstar HDD, a GTS 8800 graphics card and running Ultimate vista (oem).
    She's been running fine for over a year.
    Yesterday - I turned her on and although on initial boot up you can see '400GB PATA' , and the MSI loading screen vista won't load and screen is blank.
    I put in the vista disk for repair but at the point where it shows your operating system - that space is empty.
    So I went into BIOS and the HDD is not being detected at all.
    I toggled some of the IDE settings but still no go.
    Both my HDD and the DVD R/W are on the iDE ribbon cable. DVD seems to be working fine and, as stated above, HDD has been working fine for a year until yesterday.
    Any ideas as to how I can get BIOS to re-discover the HDD? OR any ideas why it isn't being discovered now  (after all this time)?
    Also - to get everything back up and try to recover some of the data off my IDE HDD I am thinking about buying a SATA HDD, reinstalling windows and working from there. Any reason why this shouldn't work?
    Finally - IF that works, I have a number of IDE drives lying around that I'd like to connect up to the MSI p35 - but at the moment the ribbon cable I have only has two connectors (currently used by by DVD R/W and my rebellious IDE HDD).  Is it possible to add say 2 more IDE drives? would I need to get a ribbon cable with more connectors? Or is it not possible and IDE cables only come with 2 connectors anyway?
    Any help much appreciated - I am not exactly a noob but I have nowhere near the skill levels of some of you guys - really appreciate your thoughts.
    Cheers,
    TOOTR

    What happened to you might be caused by the case messing up you mobo.

    Different hard drive, see if bios acknowledges the drive is there
    Guys, the Drive is properly recognized on BIOS Level...
    Quote
    It seems to show up in the second screen very briefly  - I clearly see '400GB'
    Quote
    This time F11 worked and I had a boot order choice. I clicked on the IDE HDD (hitachi).
    Quote
    I can see it is if I try to change the Boot sequence - I can clearly see HItachi and the DVD R/W.
    ...and no errors are found by the Hitachi Diagnostic Tool...
    Quote
    Ok  - the quick test showed no errors.
    Quote
    the advanced test found no errors either.
    @TOOTR:
    Can you hook up the hard drive to a working computer and run chkdsk (Checkdisk) and fixmbr (or a similar tool)?  Try to access and backup any important data on the drive before you check its data/partition structure for integrity.

  • MSI KT3 Ultra ARU and 200gb Hard Drive

    I just bought a 200gb Hitachi Deskstar and loaded up Windows XP and noticed that the drive size is only 137GB instead of around 200. Does the KT3 Ultra Aru no support 200gb Hard Drives? What do I need to do to make this work? Thanks in advance.

    The board supports such drives. But: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;303013

  • Possible confliction with external hard drive?

    Hi guys, I'm sort of new here, but I could really use some help.
    I love my iPod (30 gig Video), I've had it for just over a year, but last week it all of a sudden started screwing up on me. I'm sorry it's such a lengthy explaination, but I haven't been able to find help anywhere else... If you don't feel like reading it, essentially my iPod seems to be conflicting with my external hard drive.
    I keep all my music on a 150gb external hard drive since my laptop's 30 gigs barely has any room left over with all the programs and photos I have on it. iTunes has worked fine in the past with playing/syncing music from an external hard drive but all of a sudden it's decided that iPod and Hard Drive don't mix.
    When I have my hard drive plugged in by itself, everything is normal, and iTunes can play the music fine. Though once I plug my iPod in, iTunes and the whole computer freezes up. I get the usual "Do Not Disconnect" message on the iPod, and it seems to be doing something, but everything on the computer just stops. I can click the start menu, I can click the close button on iTunes, nothing happens... UNTIL I unplug my iPod. Then everything unfreezes and whatever buttons I clicked while the screen was frozen do their appropriate action. If I had clicked to close iTunes it would then close iTunes... If I closed iTunes while the iPod is plugged in (which does nothing), then unplug the iPod causing iTunes to actually close, I get a message saying that the iPod needs to be reformatted to work with Windows and I should restore the iPod within iTunes to solve that problem.
    At the time, I hadn't tried the iPod alone, without the hard drive plugged in (since I keep the hard drive plugged in all the time), so I figured it was a problem with the iPod, rather than a problem with the hard drive.
    So I took the "restore" idea, and went to my friend's computer, which is running Vista. He has iTunes, and his computer is fine. I plug my iPod into it, iTunes opens up, things work great. So the problem didn't seem to be with my iPod. I took the opportunity of having my iPod in a working iTunes environment on my friend's computer, and I restored my iPod, clearing all the songs off of it, which is not really a big deal, since all my songs are on my ext. hard drive anyway. I took my iPod back to my computer, and nothing changed, I still had that problem, and I then realised that the problem only existed while my hard drive was plugged in.
    It was after I restored it that I realised if I unplug my hard drive, and have my iPod plugged in alone, everything works fine. It opens up iTunes, it's recognised by My Computer, things are normal, except for the fact that I can't do anything, since all my music is on my ext. hard drive, so I get to look at a whole library of songs with little exclaimation marks beside them. Syncing didn't do anything except transfer the handful of songs from my library that AREN'T located on my external hard drive to my iPod, and of course, once I tried plugging my hard drive in... frozen.
    I managed to figure out that if I started iTunes with my hard drive plugged in (so iTunes would know that the songs are in the right location), then unplugged the hard drive, plugged the iPod in (so iTunes would recognise it), then plugged the hard drive back in, things would work alright, though when I tried syncing it, it went painfully slow and stopped after about 3 albums, and this process hasn't worked since, it just freezes up again.
    I know I could just copy songs slowly to my computer, and sync them to my iPod from the computer rather than the hard drive, but that would take ages, and I'd like to have the problem fixed rather than to have to go through that process any time I wanted to change what's on my iPod.
    So that's my problem. I've followed the "5 R's" that the support here seems to swear by, I have tried unistalling and reinstalling iTunes twice, I've uninstalled both iTunes and the iPod updater stuff, and then installed everything clean from the CD that came with the iPod. I've tried renaming the drive letters of my ext. hard drive and my iPod in case there was some sort of confliction there, nothing seems to have worked. I don't think I changed anything with my computer that would cause this change (I ever restored Windows to a date before this problem occurred), and as for the update to iTunes 7.4.1.2, I didn't update it until after this problem started, so it wouldn't have been caused by the update.
    I hope that made sense... If anyone can give me some help as to how I can get my iPod back working on my computer I'd be incredibly grateful and thanks in advance!
    If anyone knows what's going on, it's probably somebody here

    This sounds like more of a Windows specific iPod problem. You may get better responses if you posted it in that specific section of the forums.

  • Help with an external hard drive enclosure

    I had a Power Mac G5 that had a motherboard which died. The hard drives were still good so I purchased the "EAGLE Consus D-Series ET-CSDU2J-BK JBOD 2Bay SATA to USB 2.0 External Enclosure". I have it on the setting which both of drives show up on the desktop individually. So far it works and everything is great but I would really like to make it so it combines both hard drives (two seagate 160GB of the same model) into one 320 hard drive. I have a macbook pro running OS X. Do i have to reformat and erase everything before I change it to spanning or can i just switch the jumper and have one hard drive image with all my data still on it? Thanks
    Here is the online manual if it helps http://www.eagletechusa.com/Download/ET-CSDU2J-BK_UM.pdf

    RAIDing the two will destroy the data on the drive. I'm sure that's explained in the manual.

  • How to stop Time Machine backing up on a specific external hard drive?

    I work on a iMac 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, with Mac OS X 10.6.8. I use two external hard drives that are the exact same model, 2 TB WD My Book 1110 Media: one is intended for back-up, the other for storing video editing files. They're both connected through USB 2.0.
    I set the "back-up" hard drive as back-up disk for Time Machine, through the Time Machine preferences. Now, everytime I connect the "video" hard drive, Time Machine recognizes it as a back-up disk, and starts backing up on it. I could delete the "Backups.backupdb" file that Time Machine had created by connecting the "video" hard drive to another Mac and moving it to the Trash, but as soon as I reconnect the "video" hard drive to my iMac, Time Machine backs up on it again.
    Is there a way to "de-select" a hard drive from Time Machine's list of back-up disks?
    Note: I should mention another thing that might indicate a conflict. When both hard drives "back-up" and "video" are connected to my iMac, if I open Final Cut Pro X, I can only see my "back-up" hard drive. To access the files I am working on, I need to eject the "back-up" hard drive, and suddenly the "video" drive appears.
    If you have any idea of how to solve this conflict... I am a bit lost.
    Thank you!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Give them unique volume names using Disk Utility.
    Then set Time Machine back up to that unique volume name.
    For example, I regularly use 4 external drives (though they're not all the same model).
    The descriptions quickly tell me which drives I have connected to my MacBook when open Finder:
    My Time Machine backup volume is named 'Time Machine 1TB'.
    My iPhoto backup volume is named 'iPhoto Backup 320GB'
    My iTunes backup volume is named 'iTunes Backup 120GB'
    and the last is 'Windows 7 Backup 250Gb' but since it's a Windows volume, it is formatted NTFS.
    This likely means that you will have to erase and repartition one of your drives to name it.
    You MIGHT be able to rename it using Finder, right-clicking on the volume, and selecting Rename (current volume name).
    WARNING: I can't be certain of what just renaming it that way could screw up in the way of permissions and file links.
    Within Disk Utility, it seems it is absolutely not possible to change a volume name without clicking the Partition tab, and that involves erasing.
    Given the choice, I'd probably choose to rename (erase and repartition) the Time Machine drive. A current backup or two on Time Machine, and I'm good. I don't really need to go 'way back' to recover files, because I really don't ever erase anything. I just keep buying bigger drives!
    And I still burn the 'absolutely critical, priceless, can't ever be without this stuff' files to DVD or CD at least monthly or quarterly, in case one of my TM or backup drives fails at the same time as my primary hard drive. Call me paranoid, but I worked in Information Technology for many years: Murphy was an optimist!

  • Firewire Hard Drive corrupts OS Lion and will not boot

    I have re-installed OS lion on my macbook pro 5-6 times now. There seems to be some conflict with my firewire hard drive enclosure which causing it not to boot shortly after using it when restarting. I am trying to get all my data off this hard drive.

    I end up having to reinstall the OS every time and it fixes it temporarily.

    Fixed it without even reinstalling the OS this time. I connected a firewire 400 cable between the mac book pro and my other mac and held down the "t" key to boot the dead macbook pro as a hard drive on my other mac. The hard drive didn't show up but it seem to get it out of the loop it was locked in not allowing it to boot and unable to reinstall the OS. After restarting it booted right back up like normal.
    This was an easy fix if my enclosure caused this problem again and does not allow my computer to boot after using the FW 800 cable.

  • I can't import my favorites from FF on Windows XP hard drive because it can't see the Favorites HTML file.

    My old computer was windows XP and I had a second, larger hard drive with Ubuntu on it. My computer crashed because of the motherboard. I had both hard drives moved to a newer computer (motherboard from 2006) and computer could not boot to windows. It's now booted to the Ubuntu drive and I can access my old info on the windows XP drive. I would like to import my favorites from FF on my windows XP drive to my FF on my Ubuntu drive but "import data from another browser" doesn't find anything because it's looking on my Ubunto drive not my windows XP drive. I tried creating an HTML document of my favorites on the windows drive but when trying to import the HTML file of my favorites on Ubuntu, it can't see it...but Dolphin can see the HTML file I created.

    Did you use Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML ?
    Does the HTML backup have a .html file extension?

  • Ibook g4 won't boot, but hard drive seems fine

    I have a ibook g4,800mhz. osx 10.4.8
    On start up i get the folder & question mark. I have tried the following.
    1) i booted with an os install disk. disk utilities reported the drive was ok it but couldn't see a disk partition so disk first aid had nothing to do.
    2) next i ran disk warrior which had the same probably, it could see the hard drive, reported that the drive was functioning, but saw no partition.
    3) finally i gave up and reformatted the disk, and re installed an os. this worked for 48 hours at which time the problem came back.
    4) i can put the laptop in firewire mode connect it to a desktop and access the hard drive. I can format the disk using apple disk tools, i can install an new os, but after all this it still won't boot from the internal hd.
    5) I reset the pram. also tried starting up with the option key down .. no hard drive is visible when i do this.
    So the hard drive seems to work ok. Two different disk utilities see the hard drive and think its functioning ok. OSx installer runs without complaint, but the &$%! won't boot from the hd.
    Anybody got any suggestions?

    ...this worked for 48 hours at which time the problem came back...
    This is the time period that I was commenting on. If something was used during that time that corrupted the OS, it would cause the situation you are in.
    If everything is perfect with the OS then something is wrong with the hard drive or the motherboard's interface to the hard drive.

  • Old hard drive into new iMac

    My old iMac (G5, no iSight) recently died. Of course, it had been a long time since I had backed up any of my data. The genius at the Apple store looked at it and said the motherboard burned out, but the hard drive was probably still good. While there I purchased a new iMac (iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" display).
    My question is... What is the simplest way, if any, to transfer data from my old hard drive onto my new iMac? The genius told me there was something I could buy to turn it into an external hard drive with a USB or Firewire connection, but he did not know the specifics.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas!
    JCG

    Hi JCG
    Stuffing the old HD in an External Drive Enclosure is probably the best way to go, because you have a choice of USB/400/800 combination's and it protects the drive. A slightly less expensive NewerTech USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter could also be used to transfer data between the old drive and new iMac.

  • Hp Pavilion Elite m9517c New hard drive problem

    Me and my bro brought this hp 6 months ago and it stopped booting, it would get stuck on the blue hp welcome screennd would not respond what so ever to any thing period. Did a little more research and found out it was the hard drive giving me trouble, so i I buy a new hard drive of the same model, and now I cant install windows vista on it because it wont recognize the cd-rom, then I tried using a flash memory stick, added all the necessary drivers but the hp wont recognize the flash memory stick and I cant install the necessary drives, So I do more research and some people say to use the older model cd-rom units, and I find an old one and on this hp motherboard of m9517c it has no slot big enough to connect the older cd-rom drive. I see a slot on the motherboard but it's not long enough to fit the old slave/master cord. I'm stomped. Does anyone have any insight that can lend a hand please.

    Are you sure the problem was the hard drive and not the motherboard? Usually if the hard drive is bad, it will attempt to boot and then say boot disk failure or no operating system found.

  • Wants to add an Hard Drive

    Hi there !
    I actually have an MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR, with 2 hard drives and 2 cd/DVD burners.
    I'd like to add a third hard drive, but not sure If I still have IDE port free, or if I can use the serial ATA connection ?
    P.S. : My actual 4 drives are IDE.
    If choosing serial ATA, should I take serial ATA2 hard drive ?
    Many Thanks !!!

    "...I'd like to add a third hard drive, but not sure If I still have IDE port free..." 2 IDE ports supports up to 4 IDE devices, so, you reached max. supported.
    "...or if I can use the serial ATA connection ..." Yes you can. Remember to look your P.Su. AMPS. to 3 volt rails, because adding more and more devices imply more and more power needs...

    Any solutions to my question will be greatly appreciated

    Put the seagate drive onto the Mac and format it Mac OS extended journaled. (HFS+ for short) and you will also need to change the partition over to GUID from MBR.
    TC has very limited formats it can recognise.. FAT32 and HFS+ (well FAT16 but that doesn't count). exfat no, ntfs no, Really with FAT32 being hopeless.. you have one choice .. HFS+.
    The Windows machines can handle files to the drive just fine.. because it is a network drive.. it is offered to the network as SMB protocol.. in windows it will look like NT server. The precise format of the drive is irrelevant and is handled by the firmware of the TC.
    But do reset the partition scheme to GUID.. not MBR.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph5845
    You can even put 2 or more partitions on it.. but only one is fine.

  • CS3 on old hard drive need help to activate

    My HP motherboard failed (manu defect) the hard drive is fine and has my adobe CS3 suite on it. I bought a new laptop and tethered the old hard drive to my new computer. I try to start the cs3 but a pop up says my computer lacks an adobe llinguistic code?? I moved and lost the serial on the case. How do I use my cs3 from the old hard drive?

    You probably do not use it from the old hard drive vecause the program needs to be installed on whatever machine is trying to use it... even if you intentional;ly tried to install on a separate drive the program still needs to install some ellements on the main system drive.
    If you check you Adobe account online you might find the serial number there if you registered the program.  You can download CS3 applications thru the following link: Download CS3 products
