P965 Neo JMicron ?buggy? in PATA-mode and cannot install newest driver

I have a MSI P965 Neo and a PATA HDD (alone on the IDE-cable)
if I copy some big files over network (via onboard realtek) from 2 other computers in my network:
PATA:
a) files are ok (correct md5), without the JMicron-driver 1.06.01.00 from MSI website, but very slow speed and laggy mouse.
b) files are NOT ok, with JMicron-driver 1.06.01.00, speed is fast, mouse are ok.
if I use a PATA-2-SATA adapter from a friend and the HDD is
a) hooked on JMicron-SATA-Port, with JMicron-driver 1.06.01.00, files are ok.
b) hooked on intel-port, files are ok.
I did some tests with a dlink-NIC on msi mobo, but in PATA-mode on JMicron still errors.
so for the JMicron in PATA-mode there is a bug, in SATA-mode not.
I have hope with with the new driver from MSI site vesion 1.14.00.00 but this one won´t install - got a dialog with "updatedriverforplugandplaydevices: error".
any help ? coz I cannot use the PATA-2-SATA adapter from my friend forever and buying one isn´t a big deal but I paid already for not 100% bugfree msi p965 neo.
update:
filecopy from internal hdd to external usb-hdd, is not a problem, only over network. so JMicron in PATA-mode produces errors if realtek-onboard-chip is under load or an other NIC.
OS was WinXP SP2 32bit, but WinXP x64 has the same problem.
I tried also older realtek drivers but no success.
but Vista RC1 has no errors with filecopy over network with jmicron in pata-mode, with Vista´s default drivers for JMicron and realtek-nic

I got the same problem with "HANGING"... the whole system freezes (mouse and sound for example) when I access my DVD burner, e.g. wenn I insert a new DVD, and/or copy a file like VTS_04_1.VOB to my system (just for testing). I never experienced this behaviour in any PC system before... This isn't acceptable on a 2 gig, 6600 core 2 duo system.
I played World of Warcraft recently, and burned a video DVD from a hdd image file at the same time - which should be blindfoldly managed on a core 2 duo 6600.
on my old system (an amd, single core) the same action would have no effect on the game. But on my new MSI board system, there were major hangs to the game... Just when the system accessed the DVD burner.
More strange appears to me, that accessing the second DVD device, the DVD-R (just reading) doesn't cause any hangs to my system.
I never had any of this occurences in any PC before ... This must have something to do with the Jmicron IDE to SATA2 "bridge".
I got the JMB36X 1.14.01.exe and the latest BIOS
My system specifications read as follows:
1x 3R Systems DCase R202, silver be quiet
1x SilentMaxx 480Watts, 19dB extra silent
1x MSI P965 Neo-F Socket775, FSB800/1066 ATX PCI-E16x
2x CSX1024MB DDR2 DIMM, 800MHz, original Value
1x Core 2 Duo E6600 (2,4GHz 4MB), Box S775
1x GeForce 7900 GTX 512 MB Gigabyte, TV-Out/DVI Retail
2x SATA2 250GB Samsung SP2504C
1x LG GSA-H20L Black Lightscribe, Retail Nero+Kabel
1x Lite-ON DVD-ROM SHD-16H5S-05C, 16X
Hoping there will be a fix soon... I noticed this strange behaviour at once, when I installed Heroes of Might and Magic V (just after I bought my new system) and wondered, why the installation routine takes SOOOO long and consumes one core cpu completely....
Regards,
chingom

    You need a "Core 2 Duo" for lion, and I'm guessing you only have a "Core Duo"  My wife's macbook is also a "Core Duo" and has Snow Leapord, but cannot install Lion.....

  • MSI P965 Neo-F Sata Ports Enhanced Mode

    Hi,
        I have the MSI P965 Neo-F board, and need to setup the sata ports to AHCI or enhanced mode, but don't see this options as in previous MSI boards.
        Some boards from anther's builders using the same chipset (ICH8) have these options.
        Any Idea how to set this options ? any beta bios ?
    Thanks !!!

    ICH8 has no RAID so P965 Neo only does RAID through the 3rd party JMicron controler.
    Same problem here. It is not just about RAID but AHCI, for NCQ, but more importantly for ESATA hotplug.
    2 years later still no BIOS it seems (I have most recent 1.11).  MSI still advertises with "enhanced AHCI" for this board even, (see bullet list under Intel® ICH8 Chipset):

  • WIndows failed to start. (0xc0000225); cannot run Safe Mode and no install disc

    Hello,
    I am currently having a huge problem where my computer is stuck on "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the case. To fix the problem:..." (SEE IMAGE)
    I have tried finding solutions online but none have worked. My computer DOES NOT go to safe mode if I press F8 nor do I have an 'installation disc'. In fact, I tried the recovery discs from my brother's laptop and the computer doesn't even recognize that they're
    in the disc tray.
    My computer is an Acer Aspire M3470 running Windows 7 Home Prem OA.
    If it helps, this occurred when I tried running Spybot S&D due to Malwarebytes refusing to start up (pretty sure I had a virus of some sort).
    The other image is what shows before the error screen; pressing CTRL-F does nothing.
    Thank you in advance!

    I have obtained an installation ISO and put it on both a disc and USB but neither work. I get a blue screen with the following text and cannot proceed no matter what I press:
    "RECOVERY You pc needs to be repaired. The application or operating system could not be uploaded because a required file is missing or contains errors...
    File:\WINDOWS\system32\winload.efi Error code: 0xc0000225
    You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media, contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.

  • Ipod touch(1st gen) stuck in recovery mode and cannot restore??

    I just bought a used ipod touch 1st gen.  It was fully functional before I wiped it.  I wanted to remove all of the other person's music and personal info before I started using it. I also wanted to update ios.  I wiped it and when it restarted it was in recovery mode. I have tried to restore it and I keep getting an error message that it could not restore unknown error has occurred  (1).  I have tried troubleshooting and going through all of the steps that Apple suggests and nothing has worked.  Any suggestions?  I just want it restored and updated to the latest ios that will work with it (3.1.1 I believe) I don't know what to do at this point.

  • IPhone is locked and in lost mode and cannot get it sorted.

    My iPhone was stolen, but I managed to get it back. However I put it in Lost Mode while it was gone and now that I have it back I cannot seem to get it out of Lost Mode. When I switch it on it says connect to iTunes so I do and when it's connected a message pops up saying it cannot be connected because it is in Lost Mode and locked. Is there anyway to sort this? I cannot connect it to my Wifi either as it is locked so I can't put my wifi password in, therefore I cannot switch off lost mode. Any ideas???

  • Stuck in recovery mode and cannot reinstall Lion

    I have an early 2008 Macbook, running on OS X Lion 10.8, purchased second hand from Ebay in the UK, and now I am based in Israel.
    For the last few days, my macbook started to run very slowly, crashing every time i opened a web browser for example.
    I decided to erase the drive. I did this by booting up in recovery mode, and through disk utility erasing the drive.
    Now my problem is that I cannot reinstall Lion, because my Apple ID has never purchased Lion.
    I have thought about using another computer to access the Apple store, purchase Lion, then go back to my macbook and see if my apple ID works when trying to reinstall Lion. (I have realised however, that Lion 10.8 is no longer available in the apple store, and that only mountain lion can be purchased. My macbook is early 2008, and therefore not compatible with mountain lion)
    Another idea I had was to use another computer to download Lion 10.8, save it to my external hard drive, and boot from that external hard drive. However, again, 10.8 no longer available)
    I tried doing these things in safari in recovery mode, however I am not able to download anything, not even to my external hard drive.
    Another idea I had was using someone elses Apple ID who has purchased lion, when trying to reinstall in recovery mode.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm running out of ideas. I also don't know anyone nearby who has a macbook or would have a version of Lion I could boot off a memory stick.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yeah same exact problem as me.  EXACTLY.  In a way I'm glad more than just me are having the problem so I know it's probably not on my end and on the apple side....I HOPE that is what it is.
    MAN, a whole day and a half????  Crap I need my phone to work....
    I really think it's the apple servers because it errors 3014 right when iTunes says "verifying phone....." something....  It goes away so fast I can't read the rest, but I think that is the step where it verifies phone to the apple servers, which are overloaded, I assume.
    It's gotta be that.  How many other people are having this same exact issue?

  • Finder will not open and cannot install new software

    Please help:-  Finder does not open when clicked from the dock - instead the desktop icons disappear and reappear.  If I try to install a downloaded piece of software (e.i. Firefox or Chrome or Silverlight) the same thing happens and the software install simply disappears.
    When I do Verify Disk - it's okay.
    Checking Disk Permissions reveals a number of 'issues' each of which claims to have bene 'modified and will not be repaired' such as -
    Warning SUID file "usr/bin/at"
    Warning SUID file "usr/bin/atq"
    Warning SUID file "usr/bin/atrm"
    Warning SUID file "usr/bin/login"
    Warning SUID file "usr/libexec/authopen"
    Warning SUID file "usr/bin/newgrp"
    Warning SUID file "System/ry/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent"
    Warning SUID file "usr/libexec/security_authrampoline"
    Plus others ...
    Reparing Disk permissions has no effect.
    This started happening last week and seams to be getting worse - after reboot the problem continues.......

    Guys, thanks for the support and ideas:-
    Moving the /com.apple.finder.plist to the desktop and restarting clearly made a difference.  I then deleted the plist folder on my desktop, however, the problem has slowly returned.
    I did steps 1 & 2 suggested by Linc Davis above and;
    Step 1 - there was no evidence of the errors but with limited test capability as 'my downloads' folder was  empty - so I was unable to attempt an install.  The machine however did seam to run quicker and Folder opened just fine when asked.
    Step 2 - slower in Safe Mode and right-click failed to operate but Finder opened correctly each time.
    After re-start and connecting again my external stuff (HP Printer, TimeMachine HD, Duronic USB hub, HK Speakers - they've been attached from day 1) the problem is completely back as before the deletion of the /com.apple.finder.plist  The desktop goes 'off' (desktop icons disappear) and 'on' (they reappear) without an install being achieved or 'allowed'.
    Verify Disk is okay.  Disk permissions produce the same result as first posted above.  Repair Disk Permissions has same result as before.
    Here's the latest console items since the restart following Step 2 above:-

  • How do I install Firefox updates? I have 13.0 and cannot install updates.

    How do I install updates? I have tried everything on your website, and nothing works. I have a Mac 10.7.5 and have NEVER been able to install updates. The bar just keeps moving when I tell it to update, but nothing ever happens. It will do this for hours, but never updates. Telephone help would be very helpful. I would appreciate being able to talk to someone who could walk me through this process. Now my bank account site has a message that tells me I need to update Firefox.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
    *Firefox 25.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

  • I have a MBP running Mountain Lion. Tried to install Mavericks, but it keeps telling me that my disc is used as time machine backup, and cannot install Mavericks, any help appreciated

    I have a 2011 MBP running Mountain Lion. Tried to install Mavericks, but it keeps telling me " cannot install Mavericks because disc is used for Time Machine backup". I tried disabling TM by issuing the command in console " sudo tmutil disable local". Still no luck. Is there a way of erasing all the time machine backups from my system disc?
    Thanks.

    Thanks Matt. I tried erasing the "Backups.backupdb" folder. It does not allow me to do that, inspite of "sudo"-ing. I ended up installing Mavericks on another disc, and use disc migration assistant to transfer my data, before swapping out the old disc from the MBP.
