P35 Neo-fi Problem with ATA/100 HDD

Hi bought a new systems a few days ago and I cant get the harddrive to work properly.
When trying to install either linux or windows no HDD can be found. But my bios detects the drive
right after the biosgraphicscreen.
This is my System:
MB: MSI P35 NEO-FI
CPU: INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q6600 2.4GHZ 8MB
MEM: CORSAIR 2GB DDR2 PC6400 XMS2 XTREME (2X1GB)
GRA: XFX GEFORCE 8800GTS 512MB PCI-E
DVD: SAMSUNG DVD±R/RW/RAM SATA
HDD: WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR SE16 500GB ATA/100 16MB
Any suggestions?
So the problem is that I cant install any OS since the HDD cant be found by OS.
Thanks!

The IDE port belongs to the Marvell Controller. There are no special Marvell drivers available.
sjosidan, which drivers did you try to integrate at the beginning of Windows Setup (F6+Floppy). If you have a P35 Neo - board (MS-7360 PCB v1.0) there is no need to integrate any drivers during setup. In this sense, every driver you try to integrate is the wrong driver.
I know you said, that the problem is the same with Windows XP and Linux. However, let's focus on Windows XP for now when it comes to OS Installation.
Does the XP Install-CD you are using include Service Pack 2?
Which BIOS-Version are you currently using? (It should be displayed on the POST Screen (A7360IMS v1.??))
The Bios version is 1.1.0.
I dont have a sp2 disc Ive read some similar posts on the forum and I think it will work with the sp2 disc.
During my reading on this forum I've come to the conclusion that in order to install a linux system supporting IDE I first have to install Xp sp2 and then flash bios. Before installing a linux dist. Is this correct?
I ordered a new SATA disc yesterday it arrives tomorrow so then I won't have a problem, I'll be using the IDE disc in my server instead.

P35 Neo ram problems. Does not boot with 4 sticks

Greetings!
This thread is little related to: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=110095.0
Okey so I bought this rig last friday(will post specs later). 4x 1gb ram sticks, shows up as 3.3gb. Was gona install 64-bit Vista today, but got some problems.
I left my computer on during night just to check if it runs fine. I wake up around 6am, turn power on to my monitor. Screensaver, move mouse, desktop and BOOM: Bluescreen(something about memory). Ok so I shutdown my comp, try to reboot got no signal. Removed 2 ram sticks(A2,B2) and yey it works. I plug them back in and again nothing. I test them 1 by 1 on both of the free slots, no problems detected.
Why won't my P35 Neo boot with 4 gigs of ram? And why did it work for 2days? :P
My guess is that the bios is still not ready yet(using 1.2v).
Specs: OCZ 700W GameXStream, P35 Neo-FI, C2D E6750, 4X PQI 1024Mb DDR800Mhz, Leadtek 8800 Gtx

If I understand correctly, you are saying that you can install Vista and XP to the system but not able to boot into the OS'es when you have 4GB of RAMs installed?
I would recommend you to test the RAMs with Memtest86.
Yes, I could install Vista and XP just fine. Also at first I could boot them with 4gigs just fine. Now my system won't POST with 4 gigs.
I've tested each one of the ram sticks and they are error free.

Re: Satellite A20-S103D: Is it possible to install a 120GB ATA-100 HDD

In 2003 my Satellite A20-S103D came with a 40GB Enhanced IDE (ATA-5).
Would it be possible to install a 120GB ATA-100?

Hi
The problem is that you will not find any official information about the HDD size limitation on the Toshiba notebooks.
Such infos dont exist. I didnt find it on the Toshiba page.
I found this thread in the Toshiba forum;
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=71877&#71877
An user has suggested that the 30GB, 40GB, 60GB or 80GB HDD could be compatible.
The other user from this thread has already use an 160GB HDD in the Satellite A20-S103
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=89990&#89990
So maybe you are a lucky man and the 120GB HDD will run.

P35 neo + q9550 problems

I've just upgraded my one-year-old PC with a new CPU and additional memory. I flashed my old BIOS 1.7 to the newest 7360v20 version, which should support Q9550.
However I can't boot up normally (even to POST) and have to keep trying five times (in order to get the "BIOS settings resetted" -message). The only way to boot seems to be the following: In the resetted BIOS settings menu, I choose to load fail-safe options and DO NOT save the BIOS settings. If I save the BIOS settings, the PC restarts and I'm stuck in the beginning - not getting booted even to POST.
The processor is nicely recognized by BIOS, when I finally get there. When I get booted my OS (winXP 32-bit) seems to run fine and stable (over 100 hours up and running now). However, when I try to watch 1080p video or extract large archives, my CPU slows down remarkably (1080p just doesn't run and extracting takes ages). Basically, I cannot do anything CPU costing. I'm not feeling any other differences. The temperatures seem normal and I don't get any blue screens whatsoever.
I can think of only the following explanations
- My CPU is not supported (my Q9550 is s-spec SLB8V). However, my system had the same boot-up problems with the older E8400 after flashing the BIOS, so that doesn't seem to be the case.
- My BIOS somehow isn't correctly flashed, doesn't actually support the CPU, or some old settings bug it. I've dropped the BIOS battery out a couple of times to be sure.
- My PSU can't somehow keep up
ATM my specs are:
MSI p35 neo(-f) motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 s-spec SLB8V CPU
2x Corsair Twin2X 1024MB DDR2 800Mhz + 1x Kingston HyperX 2048MB 800MHZ DDR2 memory
MSI N9600GT-T2D512-OC GPU
a cheap-ass PSU with 450W and 12V/18A, 5V/14A, 3,3V/18A
The only hardware changes are the processor and and additional Kingston RAM
The power consumption changes are:
Intel c2d E8400 TDP 65W (old cpu)
Intel c2d Q9550 TDP 95W (new cpu)

but I get only 8x 333mhz = 2,66ghz
If you enable EIST in BIOS, the multiplier should be automatically set to x8.5. As far as I know, this bug only exists if EIST is disabled in BIOS. In any case, the problem should be fixed once you flash the latest A7360IMS.1A0 release for your board. Just make sure that your system is entirely stable before you think about flashing.

Invest in a better PSU as well. Yours does not look very convincing (for comparison: a Corsair VX450 PSU with the same overall wattage can deliver 33A@12V, 20@5V and 20A@3,3V ).

How come your memory is running @DDR2-667? Can you post a screenshot of the CPU-Z SPD view for each of your modules?

Mixing different memory modules is also not a very good idea as it can cause problems of its own.

P35 NEO COMBO problem

I join the club. Have the same issue but realized that it mostly happens when the power was completely switched off.
If the pc was only shut down it reboots just fine.
MSI P35 NEO COMBO
Antec 350w psu

I read the other thread in BIOS forum and for sure it's not a BIOS issue. Putting together what you say there & here this what I come up with:
For what reason is the power shutting off? Error checking of HDD is normal if improper shutdown occurs because of power loss or being switched off and not shut down in Windows as it should be. When that happens the read/write heads are not going to proper park/rest position before the disk slows down and stops spinning. When this happens the heads make contact with disk surfaces and can corrupt data and even damage disk surface and therefor the reason for the error checking. The only fix for it is proper shutdown in Windows and eliminate the cause of power loss. If that can't be done then you need a battery backup/Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
If you have other problems this one needs resolved 1st since more than likely this is the cause of some of them.

Problem with ATA 66 control card.

Hello,
I have Promise Ultra ATA 66 control card in my machine. These gave me the problem while installation saying "No disks Found". As suggested in the forum I connected the hard disk directly to the IDE and could install successfully. But when I start with Windows NT, I see the system is slow.
1. Is there any way to make it work faster?.
2. If I want to upgrade to ATA 100, could you tell me the control card that is supported by Sol8?.
Please share your experience. Your suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for your time
Raj

I haven't yet found an ATA controller card that Solaris (any version) supports.

875P NEO FIS2R problems with booting at power-up

Having problems with booting at power-up.
Recently, with no apparent modification to system - at power up the system will often not boot. About 80% of time systems seems to go into a loop with CD/DVD drive light blinking a few times, then the floppy drive light comes on and can hear the FDD run – within 30 seconds or so, this process starts over again. Power switch LED is on and HDD LED is on (continuously). All fans are running (power supply fan, case fan, CPU fan and Intel Canterwood 875 fan ).
Monitor power on light is in power save mode (amber) when system does not boot. When boot is successful the monitor power light turns green immediately.
After pressing the reset button several times (varies between pressing reset button 1 time to 30 or more times) system will then boot OK or go into set up.
Once running there is no apparent problem.
This mainboard comes with D Bracket containing 2 USB 2.0 ports, and 4 diagnostics LEDs - when boot problem occurs the diagnostic LEDs, give a code that in the MSI mainboard manual states “Initializing Keyboard Controller” and diagnostic LEDs stays in this mode until via reset button provides a successful boot and start up.
Have reseated all connectors.
SYSTEM
Mainboard – MSI 875P Neo FIS2R (MSI 6758)
BIOS – AMI v1.8 (has not been updated)
CPU – Intel P4 2.6 GHz - system bus 800 MHz 512 KB L2 Cache
Memory – 1.5 gb (2 x 256 mb and 2 x 512mb)

MSI P35 NEO 2 FR with E8200

Gotten a rig as below
E8200 with P35 neo 2FR
Corsair XMS 6400 2x1G
Seagate 500G HDD
Intending to overclock the FSB to 400 to achieve 3.2GHz
Hence would like to know the min volt require for the below setting
cpu voltage ,
memory voltage (should remain unchange),
VTT FSB voltage ,
NB voltage
SB I/O power
SB Core power
Pls advise cos i have no idea the min volt as i keep having the BSOD once log into VISTA......should be due to volt too low causing sys unstable.......
Orthos stress test hang after 3 sec........
Thanks for any inputs and advise......

Quote from: Sharp on 04-March-08, 01:12:19
Hello,
What power supply and gfx card do you have?
Set your FSB:DRAM (memory) ratio to 1:1.
This will make the memory run at the same frequency as the FSB.
So when you do eventually get to 400MHz FSB the memory will be at 400Mhz (800DDR).
Start with your default Vcore voltage, it should be near 1.136v.
Leave the other voltages/settings alone.
Your default FSB = 333.
Increase in intervals, eg +10Mhz so you are at 343.
Run memtest, run orthos.
If you are satisfied with the result, increase by another 10Mhz. 353Mhz.
Do the same thing.
keep doing this until it is no longer stable.
At this point you should incease the Vcore voltage. (CPU voltage)
You can try increasing it in very small steps, I would go straight to 1.2v. (CPU voltage)
Then continue your testing, if it is stable increase again by 10Mhz.
Just for now, do not exceed 1.2v. (CPU voltage)
Also disable all the Spread spectrum settings.
My gfx is 8800GT 256 mb, psu is acbel 510W..should be enough for the rig
U mentioned leave the others volts unchanged...but if i increased the FSB to 400, shouldn't i upped the fsb volt?
Thanks for the reply, would appreciate if u can help me......

Problem with restoring my HDD from .dmg image

Hello,
I encountered a problem with boot camp which couln't make a new partition for windows, because it couldn't move some files. It was a problem of defragmentation which i found surprisingly hard to solve. I'm a new mac user, and i was unable to find any defragmentation utility. Even the boot camp ask me to make and image of HDD, reformat it, and then restore from image. It was quite easy when i was reading it but after all i end up with new instalation of MacOS X without access to my files stored on HDD image.
Here's what i did:
1. I made images of HDD and and partition. To make images smaller i previously copied all of my multimedia files to PC. Images were created as read only, not compressed. They were stored on PC
2. I have used disc utility after booting up from MacOS X CD, and made a new partition. It's name is the same as the one i made image from.
3. Now it's the point when i should restore my partition from image but i encountered some problems. I copied images to mac again and was trying to restore partition from it but disc utility said it doesn't have any checksums or something like that. I read that it was a problem of verifying image with disc utility (the first button on the upper left side called verify.) It have checked image and made checksums but i still was unable to restore partition from it.
Now, i know it might be silly to try restore HD from image on the same HD but shouldn't it shows some oder errors? After booting up from CD i can't connect to PC to browse it's resources and writing address (http://pcname/folder/partition.dmg) in source line in restore tab does not do anything.
Is the only solution to connect a firewire hard drive to my mac with images on it? Or it is a problem with my images (making image process didn't showed any errors with HDD image and partition image).
Moreover i cant access those images on my MBP cos it's says that there are no mountable file system. Does it means that this image is bad?
Please help, I'm running out of options as i don't have firewire HDD and i'm really annoyed cos things like defragmentation are so easy on Windows and i don't get it why it's must be so complicated on Mac
Sincerely
PS sorry for my english

Hum problem with DDTS-100 with Klipsch Promedia 5.1

I have a problem with me decoder DDTS-100 since the beginning. I use it with Promedia 5.1 Klipsch kit.
When I use digital sources either optical or coax, when my decoder does'nt receive any signal from my DVD or X-box, I am earing a big hum coming out from my speakers. And then when my DDTS-100 receive a digital signal the hum disapeer.
I am not earing the hum when I use the analog input.
I am very disapointed about this bug because when the volume is high I am worried about my Klipsch kit.
Thanks in advance
Mat

I finnaly found out my problem
The buzz came out from my coax cable from my DVD. My DVD player was probably inducing 60Hz on the coax output.
I switched to the optical output and no more buzz.
I'll need to buy a new toslink cable to plug my x-box on the optical input #2
Also I pluged my TV audio out in my st analog input, it also induced a 60 Hz on my DDTS-100. The decoder does not seem to filter out electric noises.
I'm pretty happy to have found out my problem but I'm very dispointed that the DDTS-100 does not filter any electric noises.

Capture HDV 720p on ATA 100 HDD ?

Hello,
I have to capture HDV 720p/25fps footage on a Windows machine and I was thinking to use an ATA 100 hard disk.
There should be no problem since the hard disk is 7200rpm (as required in the system requirements of Premiere CS3) but I would like to hear the opinion of somebody who already used such a hard disk (or similar) for capturing.
Thank you all,
Alessandro
PS: since I don't have a capture card I intend to use the firewire port of the motherboard.

That is how it is designed to work.

Problems with external USB HDDs (MSI P67A-C45)

Hello! Help me, please.
I'm using number of external HDDs (3,5'' -- with power supply each). Most of them are plugged into the motherboard USB 2.0 via a powered USB hub. Some of them are plugged directly to the motherboard. I'm facing three major problems with them. Please, consult me.
1) I cannot access those of HDDs, which are plug via the hub. Windows just do not see them. If I plug the hub into a laptop, it works.
2) Only factory-made external HDDs are working, being plugged directly into USB 2.0. Those of them, which I made myself (using HDD and a box, obviously) are not working with USB 2.0, BUT ONLY WITH USB 3.0. I do not understand, whats the problem with USB 2.0 then... Devices like mouse, printers, scanners are working...
3) If HDDs are plugged and switched on during booting up, the loader gets stuck on "B4" phase. It can be completely stuck or only for 5 minutes and then go on booting. My question is: whats the problem? How can I fix this?
Please, take into the account that all this system was working perfectly fine a week ago, when I had another motherboard and CPU. I'm using these disks for several yeas. I just had a reason for the MB+CPU upgrade and this upgrade leads to such problems... Please, help me.

if they are all fitted with a seperate power source then yes it matters not
many usb drives have 2 usb connectors
one for data and power
the second is just for more power from a second connection

Problem with USB/External-HDD/etc... not writing?

Hello...
Recently I've been having a problem with my USB, and external harddrive. It seems that for some reason when I copy files to the device, they do not write. If I go and view the device contents on another PC, my files aren't there, but on this PC they are.
The only way that they will copy is if I right click and select "Safely Remove Drive."
I never used to have to do this; Is there a way to make files auto write?
Thanks in advance,
Stephen

Hi, you need to use -sync mount option.

What is the problem with Western Digital HDD and OS X.9?

I received an email from Western Digital saying that OS X.9 could cause my files on my WD drives to be erased and to unplug all my WD drives until a fix is done. Is this a real problem and if so when will Apple get the fix out. I have joibs I have to get out to clients and this is a major problem for me.

Western Digital has found that their applications have got serious compatibility problems with OS X Mavericks, and they have to be updated to make them compatible with Mavericks.
Until then, keep the OS X version you have got. This is a Western Digital problem and this is why your main computer shouldn't be upgraded just after the release of a new Mac OS X version
