Plat SLI and Silicon Sata Drivers (Fixed but Weird)

Hello all, since I started manually flashing bioses to test for the 219 cold boot hypertransport bug fix, I noticed that whenever I flashed to a new bios the silicon sata drivers were the only thing that was not recognized in windowsxp under a different bios.  I have flashed back to my original 3.1 bios, and the silicon sata driver is recognized.
I did try to reload the silicon image raid drivers in the beta (and I tried 3.2 too) but it was a no go.  Am I supposed to do something with these silicon drivers before I flash to a new bios?  Or do you have to do something special after I flash?

    First of all this is a user to user forum
    So we don't fix anything here
    You are going to have to take it to Apple and pay for the replacement
    If you didn't stick it in the microware, get the person that stuck it in there to pay for it

  • Hangs when installing amd and silicon image drivers

    last night installed multipoint server 2012 premium evaluation to a 32GB ssd.
    all went well.
    then attempted to install amd graphics drivers for hd4850/hd6310  and also drivers for silicon image 3114 pci sata card.
    both installers hang part way into installation despite multiple attempts and reboots.
    even leaving pc over night failed to resolve hanging.
    please advise of work around.
    mainboard is asus e35m1-m pro.
    objective is working fileserver/multiseat websurfer.
    thanks and please have a great day/week/life

    Are those devices supported by Windows 2012 or are you installing drivers for an older version of Windows? If those drivers are for older versions of Windows, that might cause the problem. Have you checked with the manufacturer of those devices for known
    issues?

  • NEO4 Plat/sli and the Active armor/network issues

    Ok first of all my computer was running fine with my ethernet pluged into the primary nforce gig lan.  After installing this software it worked for about 5 hours then just cut off my internet.  I then plugged it into the Yukon pci-e gig lan and it worked then.  After uninstalling this software i can no longer get a connection on my Nvidia lan.  it connects but wont send/recieve any packets.  Also windows will not even let me repair my connection without it locking up the network settings.  If anyone can help i will appriecate it.

  • The sound on my iphone no longer works, nor do the buttons at the side that turn sound on and off/volume control. But weirdly, you can play music without headphones. Tried restore and jack in and out. No luck... any ideas?

    The sound on/off  button onthe side of my iPhone no longer works, nor do the volume buttons. All sound has disappeared from the phone apart from the Music which still plays. Have tried th Restore and restart phone plus have plugged and unplugged phone jack. No luck  - any idea anyone?

    One thing that helped was getting a toothbrush and scrubbing the dock connector on the phone.  I scrubbed the connector and used compressed air for about 1/2 hour till the connector looked much cleaner.  An Apple employee told me that the pins on the phone had a little corrosion and sand.  The problem hasn't gone away completely, but has been significantly reduced.  I'm going to hold out until my contract expires after which time I'll switch to an iPhone5 (or newer) or Android phone.

  • App Builder won't install - have tried all recommended fixes but still fails

    Hi all,
    I have read the similar issues others have had installing app builder and tried the suggested fixes, but am still having trouble installing.
    I have downloaded the latest version of App Builder (32.4 I believe), and am running Mac OS X 10.7.5. When I try to install i get the error "Sorry, an error has occurred. The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer from the application author."
    Just out of interest, I tried installing the same file on another Mac (running OS X 10.10.2) and installed without issue. So the installer file would appear to be fine.
    According to the system requirements, my 10.7.5 system should support the install, so I am not sure what else to try.
    Thanks, Louise.

    Ok. Please call enterprise support for assistance with this then. You can find contact information by logging into http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/ and looking in the bottom middle of the screen.

  • Sata drivers

    Sata drivers for installing xp pro on sata Hhd .desktop is a p7-1125 Carmel 2 motherboard.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi:
    That would be hard for me to say.
    You made a note of the name of the sata ahci controller in your windows 7 install by going to the device manager, and expanding the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section, correct?
    I think it is named the Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller, correct?
    If it is not named that, what is the name of the SATA AHCI controller listed there?
    You downloaded the drivers I posted above and extracted them without any folders onto a floppy disk drive, correct?
    You plugged the FDD in the PC, and booted from the XP disk.
    When you saw the "Press the F6 key to install the sata/raid drivers," you pressed the F6 key.
    Windows went on, loaded some more files, stopped and brought you to a dialog to select the SATA/RAID driver where you could see your FDD, correct?
    You see a list of drivers on the FDD, and you used the Up/Dn arrow keys to scroll to and select the AHCI driver with the same name as your sata controller in the W7 installation, correct?
    Then you it the 'S' key.
    Now windows should be hitting the FDD and loading the drivers it needs to continue to install.
    You need to leave the FDD plugged in until XP is completed installing as it will hit that drive one or more times during the install process.
    If you still can't get it, then I don't know what the problem is and you can resort to plan B and read the guidance at the link below--Intel section to slipstream the drivers.  Follow the instructions in the document you will be linked to to slipstream all of the drivers.

  • Using the "silicon controller" on the MSI NEO4 PLAT SLI, quick question!

    I have a stable OC w/ my FX55 (261x11) 2.87GHz, but now I want to use the Silicon Controller, and not just my NVIDIA controller. Does the MSI NEO4 PLAT SLI "LOCK" the silicon controller, so since my FSB is OC'ed, I dont want any problems.... By not using all 4 ports on the NVIDIA controller, will this maybe "relax" the nvidia controller, and not let it work so hard, or does it not matter. (overall speed wise)

    All of the PCI-E devices are locked, so that includes the SiI3132 controller and the Marvell Gigabit NIC.    One note, it's best to use the SiI3132 "last".    AnandTech did a benchmark of the two controllers, and the onboard nVIDIA controller was faster, although the 3132 PCI-E controller was much faster than the competitions use of PCI based SiI3112 controllers.   If you've already used your nVIDIA controller for 4 SATA or SATA II devices, then by all means use the SiI3132 without overclocking fear.

  • Neo4 Plat SLI using SATA Raid cannot install WinXP 32

    I recently purchased the neo4 platinum and was quite amazed what all comes with the board. However, I have spent quite a while trying unsuccessfully to get winxp installed. I was previously using a pci rocketraid card to run my 2 maxtor drives as a stripped raid.
    Before doing the final shutdown and swap, I went into the rocketraid and deleted the array. Swapped boards (raid card did not follow), plugged in the 2 maxtors into sata ports 1 and 2. Configured nvidia raid bios settings to enable raid on sata ports 1 and 2. Entered nvidia raid bios, and created a stripped raid array with the 2 maxtors. Boot to winxp install, f6 and installed both drivers on included nvidia diskette. When I get to the partition selection, I have nothing but 'Unknown disk' listed several times. If I try to access one of these 'partitions' by either deleting or selecting, the system crashes (blue screen). 
    So, I deleted the nvidia array, the reinstalled my rocketraid card, and created an array on it. Went through the same install sequence, and am able to see the array as a selectable drive, and am able to install winxp on it. So, I am a bit lost on where to go from here.. I tried searching both here and google and I didnt see anyone with this particular problem. Id really love to get this bad boy running (a good upgrade for me), but it seems I am destined not to.  Please, someone help!

    Inside the nvraid rom bios make sure to clear disk data and set raid bootable .
    gah, sorry, I should have put that in my original post (did those).
    So, a bit of an update... after a bit more futzing around, I have tried multiple times on deleting, recreating (and clearing data) arrays, trying with and without setting to boot. After the 2nd or so array creation, my problem has slightly changed. Now, windows install does not recognize any hdd's present and wont continue.
    Out of curiosity, I blasted the array from the nvidia bios, then went into main bios, disabled nvidia raid, and enabled sil raid. Hooked up the drives to sil raid, and created an array. Windows install see's the array, and is currently installing to it. Now, while this may function as a work aorund (if it completes) I think I read somewhere the nvidia raid is not on the pci bus, but the sil raid is (which is why I want to use the nvraid). So, aside from any input or suggestions about resolving the problem I am having, any input on the differences between the two raid setups?
    edit- windows successfully installed on the sil raid array, but I still would like a fix for the nvraid

  • Olympic Medals, Sata Drivers and Rebuilds

    Hi all,
    Background:
    I posted a while ago (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=54413&hilight=fizz) about my hard drives being so unbelievably mashed that I couldn't even load the recovery console ... Bas said it may have been an "NTFS bug", although I don't quite understand what that means
    * tried CHKDSK from WinME Boot Disk .... typed
    chkdsk c: /f         ///didn't do anything, just listed a lot of "volumem label" information and terminated ... does WinME's Boot Disk not recognise NTFS?
    * tried CHKDSK from WinXP Boot Disks (6 floppies) ... that, just like the WinXP Setup CD, didn't get past the "Examining Disk 0 on id 0 etc....." stage to load the Recovery Console.
    * my only option was to wipe everything from the drives using a complete "Zero Fill" with Seagate DiscWizard Starter Edition.  That fixed the problem, altough it took about 7 hours to do both disks!    I now have two totally blank HDDs.
    Moving On
    Now I'm reinstalling WinXP again ... I want to do it all correctly.  I intend to use the VIA controller rather than the Promise.  When I F6 to load the drivers from the Via floppy during XP Installation, I am presented with a whole list of drivers.  In the past, I always installed the following (in the order shown):
    (1) Via ATA host driver for Windows XP
    (2) Via SATA RAID driver for Windows XP
    ... is that correct?  Should I be installing both?  and in that order?
    The manual came with a booklet called "Serial ATA RAID ... Serial ATA = Quick User's Guide" ... that is packed to the brim with information on using the Promise Controller but says nothing at all (that I've seen) about the VIA controller.  There doesn't seem to be any mention of advice in the official documentation, which seems a bit strange.
    Once in XP, you can use the Promise Utility from the CD to set the HDD Cache to enabled or disabled, and set the policy to write-through or write-back.  Is this control not possible with the VIA?
    Next , partitioning:
    Rather than let the XP Setup CD partition the drives this time, I let DiscWizard do it (Seagate recommend that and my drives are made by them...):  It did this:
    Partition: 1  //i.e. number of partitions = 1
    Size: 120GB //i.e. the full size of my HDD
    Cluster Size: 4KB
    Type: NTFS
    Does that look ok?
    Next , not repeating same old mistakes:
    However I managed to pick up this "NTFS Bug", I'd rather not do it again.  Can anyone seee an error in what I did?
    * load XP as described, loading BOTH aforementioned drivers from F6 floppy
    * once in XP, load Via 4-1 drivers from CD
    * load NVidia drivers (my friend said load those (from NVidia website) instead of the Creative labs drivers that came with my graphics card ... the card is made by Creative, but uses an NVidia chip = any recommendations?
    * load software applications
    ... of course, I'm still using the BIOS that came with the Motherboard back in February ... haven't progressed past that yet.  Is this the correct order of tasks?  Cheers.
    Olympics:
    In the spirit of the games, I think I deserve the MSI Gold Medal award for "Longest Time Spent With a Non-Working PC"   ... I wish it to be known that I achieved this feat without the use of performance enhancing drugs.  Thank you.
    Fizz

    First off, I've used both Promise and Via controllers without incident.  SiSoft Sandra shows Via as being much faster in benchmarking, but I doubt there's any real-world difference although there's lots of others in this forum who will disagree.  I started with the Promise controller for the first 6 months, but when I switched to Via, I was able to load the drivers from Windows after enabling the Via controller in BIOS.  One thing I would recommend is not using any software utilities from any Hard Drive manufacturer, this software causes a lot of issues, you're better off to let Windows handle anything.  If I were you and hadn't spent too much time loading stuff yet, I would go back to starting with blank discs.  Put your Windows CD in and use F6 to load the SATA drivers (see the stickies at the top on this).  Here's a link to a post where I got help with switching from Promise to Via link.  Maybe something there will help you.

  • Installing Windows XP professional and F6 (3rd party SATA drivers)

    Forgive me if this is answered somewhere. I found a posting that was close but not quite the same, or maybe it is. This is  my first system I have put together so please excuse the newby status.  I am Using the K8T Neo2  motherboard (Via Tech VT8237 SATA) and the AMD 64 bit 3500+ chip. I have hooked up 2 Seagate 120 Gb  Serial ATA hard drives. Also have a Sony DVD r/w drive and a 3.5 " floppy and they all seem to show up in the setup menu.
    When I try to install the operating system (Windows XP professional) and the bottom  of the screen says, press F6  for third party SATA drivers I press F6 and it does nothing but continue to load windows files up to the point when it does not recognize a hard drive and I have to exit with F3. Can anyone help???????? What is the possible reason hitting F6 does nothing, I have rebooted and tried several times. I cannot get to the point to choose the third party SATA driver. This is getting very frustrating...... Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Hm...this is kind of a longshot, but you're not using the "Logitech Elite" keyboard ( http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=23-126-114&depa=0 ), are you?  This keyboard has an annoying feature called the "F-Lock" because Logitech decided to apply custom functions to the various F-buttons (an okay idea in and of itself), and then foolishly decided to set the custom functions as being the default behavior of the buttons, so that the only way pressing "F6" actually causes the F6 keystroke to be sent is if the F-lock is enabled (which is extremely stupid...the keys should send the normal F-commands with the lock off, and having the lock on should enable the custom commands).  If you have this keyboard, then just enable the F-lock and try again and it should work.
    ...if you have some other keyboard, then the above suggestions are good...always mash the hell out of F-buttons, and if it's a USB keyboard that isn't working right, try a PS2 keyboard.  You might also be able to affect things by enabling "USB Legacy" support in the BIOS, though take note that having this enabled may cause your system to become unbootable (until the setting is turned back off).
