PT880 Neo-FSR not booting from SATA device

Hi everybody!
MSI PT880 Neo-FSR http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=608
As read on the topic subject, I'm having trouble trying to boot up using my new SATA DVD-RW. This device works perfect while running Windows XP on my PC, but when I try to boot from it, I simply can't.
My PT880 Neo-FSR mobo is running the latest avalaible BIOS version (2.0) and Internal SATA controller and SATA boot ROM function are enabled. Looking inside the booting options, I just can't set my SATA DVD-RW as a valid device for booting up (I only see my IDE HDDs, FDD and LAN as booting options).
This is my first time triying to boot up from this SATA device and the first time I realized that I can actually use it for anything but booting, which is so weird! I even tried installing this device on my brother's PC and booted up succesfully there, so my mobo is the problem here.
If you're asking yourselves how I installed Win XP on this PC with no CD/DVD booting: My former IDE DVD-RW is now my sister's, so I kept previously instalation and just changed devices.
I need to run some utlities from a boot-CD and re-install Windows on this PC real soon, so I'd appreciate some help.
P.S. I tried to do my best with my 'rusty' English, so I hope you could fully understad what I've written above.

Are you saying it does work but you simply can't boot from it? Have you tried by using the F11 boot menu?
Yes! This device has been working great, but the only problem I get is when I try to use it for booting.
I alredy tried using the F11 boot menu and nothing happened... It's so weird!

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.

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,

Neo-fsr not booting

on my neo-fsr board everything will power up but it will then hold on 4 green leds on the d-bracket and the os will not load, any idea how to fix this? =?
running it with an athlon 64 2800+ and ocz 512mb pc3200 ram

4 greens means that all the MB/BIOS stuff is working properly (which is good), and that it is attempting to boot to your OS. Given that nothing is happening, it would be my guess that your OS is either incorrectly installed, or the drive containing it is damaged/corrupt (or possibly just not selected as a boot device).
I'd recommend trying to boot with either a floppy disk (or preferably an OS install disk) and seeing if that works. If it does then it means that there's just a problem with your OS installation/drive, and you should try reinstalling the OS and/or making sure your HDD is configured as a boot device (and possibly try a different HDD to make sure yours is not physically damaged).

MBP 2011 / 10.6.7: Not booting from external devices

Hi everybody,
I just bought a brand new MBP 2.3 GHz i7 QC, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD/7.200. After updating to 10.6.7, installing my applications and restoring my libraries and documents, I made a complete backup of Macintosh HD on an external USB HDD using Carbon Copy Cloner.
Unfortunately, the generated clone won't boot, although the parameters of the external HDD are correct (GUID etc.). The boot process hangs at the white Apple logo display and won't continue. Additionally, I tried to start the system from TechTool Pro's and Drive Genius' original boot DVDs - they won't work either. Same for TechTool Pro's eDisk feature.
At last, ProSoft (maker of Drive Genius) support said that some kind of Apple development kit needs to be updated before they can provide a bootable DVD for 10.6.7. Nevertheless, why is the external HDD not working? It has been formatted using 10.6.7, so it should be recognized as a proper external boot device.
Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.

I can surely boot from Apple's OS X installation DVD. No problem. Hardware Test runs through smoothly. Eventually, I made the Carbon Copy Cloner image on the external HDD boot. That's sufficient for now, although I wonder why the DVDs (made with 10.6.4) won't work.

MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R support booting from USB devices?

I am building a super computer using the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R. I would like to either get a USB pen drive, or an external Floppy Disk Drive in place of an internal Floppy Disk Drive.
Does anyone know if this board supports booting from a USB device?

I ordered my board as well, however, they were out of stock and it may be as long as 2 weeks before they get more in. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get yours from? I am VERY much excited about getting this board as I only await the MB and CPU. What all are you putting in yours??
Mine:
MB- Obvious
CPU- 2.4 800Mhz
RAM- 2 sticks, 256 PC 3200 XMS Corsair using dual channel, at first I think I will use the 512 pc3200 I already have though.
HDD- 80GIG W/D 7200 RPM ( May get another to run RAID 0)
VGU- Chaintech TI4200 at 8x w/ 128 DDR
CD#1- 52x cd rom
CD#2- dvd 16x, cdr 48 cdrw24 cdrom 48
500W raidmax Pwr Sup
Koolcases Panther case w/ window and 3 80MM/ 1 60MM fans
For now I will even use the old 3.5 A drive. Just in case.
Red light internaly
Digidoc 5 for thermal monitoring on:
1.cpu 2.ram 3.VGU 4.case 5.HDD 6.other ram 7.chipset 8.dvd for curiousity sake. just curious of the temps they produce. but always able to move it to a more vital area if the need arises.
Will be upgrading to liquid cooling in the future, that way when I am deployed the temps stay in the blue. (HOPEFULLY)

Pt880 Neo will not boot. Help please

Here is my setup. I just picked up a brand new msi pt880 neo series and a p4. 2.8 fsb800/1mbcache.
I was current using a ati 9800 pro and crucial 512 pc3200 ram. i installed two maxtor 160g hd and i was going to run raid in a pci slot raid controller. so far i know the ram works and the video card and the one of the hd. My power supply supports up to 400watts. I have a btc dvd burner, floppy and a liteon dvd rom. im also running 4 fans.
My problem is that when i turn it on, it powers up but nothing else works. On the D-bracket 2 i get 4 red lights lite up and nothing else.
Im stuck and not sure what to do now? Is it my mb or chip or a combination of things? Thank you very much for your time.

Heya,-
Sounds interesting enough to me aswell... I had the same problems with my Mobo too... But it turned out to be the CPU. Intel has release some 'C' versions of that 2.8GHz CPU, which might be some scaled-down Extreme Edition CPU's or even a down-graded Prescott CPU.
So what I needed for my mobo to get it work was:
- Updated BIOS version
- Another CPU (working) to get the new BIOS version on my mobo...
The shop that helped me, gave me some information from Intel. You can check your exact type of CPU in their website... They gave me the link to the Intel P4 CPU Specification Update. And in that document on page 17 I found out that my CPU with package ID: SL6Z5 is in fact a down-graded Extreme Edition CPU, and should have been sold as a tray-CPU, and not as a boxed CPU... DAMN INTEL!... But anyway, they gave me a headache and some nights of incredible sleeplessness...
Just for your information... This is how I found out that it was my CPU causing all this problem:
- Assemble the system with only mainboard and PSU (no memory, no vga, no keyboard)
- Connect the CPU fan to see if the system will start running
- Turn-on the system and see if the CPU fan will keep running
- Shut down the system
- Insert the CPU
- Turn-on the system again... If it fails on your CPU, it should shutdown after 5 seconds...
> To find out if it's related to any of your other peripherals, insert all the things step by step (first memory, then vga, etc...) and see if your system will fail on any of these peripherals.
It just might turn out to be a harddisk that's drawing too much current from your power-supply....
ANyway, just to share some thoughts! Good luck!

MSI-7043 (PT880 NEO-FSR) Boot Problem

I just installed this motherboard which I purchased on eBay from someone who swears it was working fine before.
I installed it in the following configuration:
MSI-7043 PT880 NEO-FSR Motherboard (Rev. 2.0) with BIOS version 2.0
RaidMax Scorpio case with a 520-Watt RaidMax Power Supply (its older, but digital P/S tester says everything is OK)
2x1Gig SuperTalent DDR400 RAM <- Was working fine in Compaq PC
Intel P4 2.4Ghz Prescott CPU (FSB533) <- Was working fine in Compaq PC
ThermalTake TR2-M12 CPU cooler <- New
LG DVD-RW Lightscribe 22x IDE Drive <- New 2 weeks ago, was working fine in Compaq PC
Seagate 320 Gig IDE Drive <- 2 Monthes old, was working fine in Compaq PC
(Drive is partitioned 1-250Gig Bootable & 1-70Gig)
Chaintech Nvidia FX5200 AGP Video Card <- Worked fine in Compaq PC
High quality round 80-pin IDE cables
No SATA drives installed at all
The system POST's fine and recognizes all installed drives, but only occasionally will boot to CD-ROM, and will never boot to hard disk, just sits there with a flashing cursor. When it did boot into CD-ROM, I was able to boot Linux and browse hard drive fine. Booted once into MEMTEST and it ran for hours fine with no errors.
I have tried defaulting BIOS several times, tried several configurations for boot sequence and using F11 Boot Menu. No matter what I do, booting from CD is hit and miss (1 out of 4 times will boot) and it will NEVER boot from the hard drive.
Interesting thing is if I disconnect the hard disk, it will boot to the CD-ROM EVERY time (sort of), but I do have to wait until it says no boot record found on CD or floppy, then press ENTER to try again it boots
After searching for through other posts, I have tried increasing the DDR RAM voltage to 2.6v with no change.
Any ideas??? is there a BIOS limitation to the boot partition size of the hard drive, if so why would this affect booting to the CD?

Ummm... never had that trouble before... It should at least start booting, or at least recognize the boot sector has a valid boot record.
Those are all valid ideas, and I appreciate the input.
BTW, I am not a newbie. I am a telecom, network, and computer technician with almost 20 years of experience. This is just the first time I have had a problem with MSI boards, I use them all the time and they generally work flawlessly. I understand operating system licensing, OEM versions, 32 vs 64 bit, and how to copy files from one drive to another using multiple different ways. I was just hoping that there was something simple going on that I was missing that someone would just say "Yeah, turn XXXXX feature off in the BIOS".
I put an older 48x CD-ROM drive and a Western Digital 40 Gig in it and it worked beautifully, in the middle of installing Kubuntu Linux right now.
I actually resized the boot partition down to 130 Gig with Linux Parted Magic and it booted OK.
I think I actually had two problems with the previous setup:
1) Boot partition was too large for the BIOS, the entire partition should not exceed the 134 Gig boundry (different sites say anything from 130-138 Gig) for the BIOS on the motherboard according to some articles I googled.
2) The LG DVD-RAM drive was just too slow spinning up for the bios to recognize the boot partition on the CD or DVD.
I resized the partition back up to 250 Gig and put the DVD-RAM, Hard Disk, Processor, RAM, and video card back into the Compaq, it is a fast (by standards of the day) and stable machine, I was just looking for a way to add some expansion capabilities for more PCI cards and possibly a SATA drive. Anyway put a 2.0 Ghz Celeron, 768 Meg of DDR266 RAM, a CD-RW drive, and a Matrox G450 Dual-Head 32 Meg AGP card I had laying around in place of of the old and will just delegate this to a Linux box.
So far all seems fine, think I will just hold off putting too much into this machine since I was planning on building a new one this summer after USB 3.0 came out.
Thanks.

Mid-2009 MacBook Pro sees internal SATA hard drive, but will not boot from or format

I inherited a Mid-2009 MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53 GHz model) with a very strange issue.
It first presented itself as not being able to boot from the internal SATA hard drive that came with the computer. Nothing I tried could get it to boot, so I assumed the file system was corrupted beyond repair and booted from a CD to try to format the drive. Disk Utility on the CD would not format the drive, giving me strange error messages like "Unable to write to the last block of the device".
At this point I figured the drive itself must be toast, so I pulled it out and put another known-good SATA hard drive in, booted from CD, and attempted to format. Again, same error messages and an unsuccesful format.
So I had the bright idea of formatting one of the drives in an external enclosure and then putting it in the MBP to see if OS X would even install. No dice. Get a cryptic error message before installation even begins.
So I installed OS X on the drive in the external enclosure and put it in the MBP, and it attempts to boot, but never goes anywhere.
So to sum up, the symptoms I'm seeing:
MacBook Pro CAN see internal SATA hard drives.
MacBook Pro WILL NOT boot from any internal SATA hard drive and cannot format or install OS X to any internal SATA hard drive.
MacBook Pro WILL boot from any CD or external device and seems to work properly otherwise.
At this point I'm thinking it's one of two things: the hard drive ribbon cable or the SATA controller on the logic board.
Since the MacBook Pro seems to work completely fine other than this one issue, and will boot properly from both external devices and the CD (also a SATA device), I'm thinking and hoping that it's just the hard drive ribbon cable. From my searches online, I've heard that this batch of MacBook Pros is known to have issues with the hard drive ribbon cable, but it seems in most cases this manifests itself by the Mac not being able to see a drive at all.
I've done quite a bit of troubleshooting to get to this point, but right now I'm just looking for any feedback at all. Specifically I'd love to know a way I can easily test to see whether it's the logic board or the cable.

UPDATE: An interesting development!
I just tried a third known-good SATA hard drive, one which I believe supports SATA I only (but I'm not sure), and unlike the other drives that the Mac sees but cannot properly interact with, the Mac can't even see this one when I put it inside.
Frustrating as this may be, I believe I'm actually getting closer to a solution since my symptoms now appear to be closely aligned with people having SATA ribbon cable issues.
Onward!

My Mac Mini (2009 version) does not let me boot from another device

I can see the other devices fine, it is just when I select any one the system keeps trying to boot and I get nothing. I can stop the retry process and choose my Mac hard drive ok. Of special note is I have recently discovered that my DVD drive does not function (not sure if this is relevant).

As Squiggle wrote, the external drive was definitely bootable. It was a clean installation of Leopard (retail package) on an empty drive. I tested it on my own mini before going over. It did not boot on his mini. The drive was visible. It mounted properly. It was visible, and selectable, in the "Startup Disk" system preference. The mini went into an endless reboot cycle. The only way to interrupt the cycle was to hold down the option key and select the internal drive (yes, the external drive was listed at this point as well).
After giving up on that approach we tried TDM, using the retail Leopard DVD in the DVD drive in my PowerBook. Again, the drive was visible, and selectable. The same reboot cycle occurred, and the same method had to be used to break the cycle.
Yes, I zapped PRAM (not that I expected it to do anything).
The DVD drive in the mini appears to have problems, but will that prevent booting from any device other than the internal drive?
I'm stumped.

PT880 Neo-FSR P4 3.2G with HyperX HELP

I have been reading the forum for 2 days now and I'm still unable to find a solution to my problem. I have tried every suggestion I've found in this forum with no success. So, as a software dude I'm not the best hardware guy and I'm requesting help from any hardware guru in here.
Problem:
PC reboots constantly or locks up or blue screens this started after I loaded WinXP pro SP2.
Setup:
PT880 Neo-FSR (7043)
P4 3.2G
Kingston HyperX KHX3200A/512R
SATA 250GB HD
Tried Solutions:
1. Changing DRAM voltage ranging from 2.6v - 8v (problem got worse or persisted)
2. Tried running in different turbo modes. (problem got worse or persisted)
3. Tried changing DRAM clock to all kinds of settings.. (problem got worse or persisted)
4. Did not try changing any DRAM timing cause I'm not sure of the effect...
5. Upgraded BIOS rev to 2.0 in hoping to fix the issue. (no effect on problem)
6. Will contact Kingston next week for recommendations.
Thanks in advance for any help suggested besides purchasing new RAM

Have you tried update the VIA drivers?

IMac will not boot from any mode except Target Disk

I have an Early 2008 Penryn iMac 24" MB398LL/A running OS X 10.7.4 (see specs below) that will not boot from ANY mode, It also has several strange vertical bars from top to bottom on the screen. They are about 10 px wide, with some pixels empty and looks a bit like a barcode if you squint at it.
I have tried Safe Boot, Force Boot, DVD Boot, FireWire/USB Boot, and it always gets to the same point. It gets to the apple screen with the spinning gear and then after about 8 seconds it freezes. The only way it works at all is in Target Disk Mode. It pops right up on my Macbook Pro and I was able to grab all my info!
I have run Disc Utilities and Tech Tool on it many times from my MBP and it passes every test.
I reformatted the HD and installed 10.7 again, it still freezes up at the same point.
I have tried using Single User mode and every time have had to run /sbin/fsck -fy twice because it always says the disk is ok but it was modified on the first pass.
I thought maybe it had a bad video card or logic board but and I ran the Apple Hardware Test on many occasions and it always passes. Recently I was told about Loop Mode and just completed running the AHT for just over 30 hours without any errors at all.
UPDATE...
Strange Part… I tried installing Mountain Lion in Target Disk Mode and everything went smoothly. When it restarted on its own the lines on the screen were gone for the moment, but the Mac still freezes up on the spinning gear and immediately restarts on its own. I have run every thing listed above on it and still nothing. Sometimes the lines reappear then in two more starts they are gone.
I did manage to have it start one time got a copy of the the error report (its at the bottom too) The Mac ran for at least 30 minutes with no problems, then the screen went crazy a few seconds and it became unresponsive. The mouse moved but that was all it could do. Now my iMac continually restarts itself, I don't have any more ideas, HELP!
Specs...
The iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-Inch Aluminum (Early 2008/Penryn) features a 3.06 GHz Intel "Core 2 Duo" processor (E8435), with two independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip, a 6 MB shared level 2 cache, a 1066 MHz system bus, 2 GB of RAM (800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, PC2-6400), a 500 GB (7200 RPM) Serial ATA hard drive, a vertically-mounted slot-loading DVD±R DL "SuperDrive", NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS graphics acceleration with 512 MB of GDDR3 memory, a built-in iSight video camera, and built-in stereo speakers underneath the 24" glossy TFT Active Matrix LCD (1920x1200 native) display.

Mainboard PM8M-V cannot boot from SATA

Mainboard PM8M-V does not have BOOT FROM SATA in the BIOS settings. In fact nowhere in the entire bios SATA is mentioned.
The SATA HDD is properly partitioned. Windows is installed on it, but it boots from an IDE HDD and then continues to load from the SATA.
I tried to set the bios to boot from SCSI, but in vain.
I checked if there is a bios update, but the MSI website linked me to Live Update 5, which even cannot find drivers for the mainboard, not to speak for a bios update.
The version of the BIOS is
Manufacturer : Phoenix Technologies, LTD
Version : 6.00 PG
Date : 03/23/2005 (mm/dd/yyyy)
HELP!

The boot options are:
Floppy, LS120, IDE0,SCSI,CDROM,IDE1,IDE2,IDE3,ZIP100,USB-FDD,USB-CDROM,USB-HDD,LAN,DISABLED
I tried to remove the IDE HDD (also no USB drives were connected) while installing windows, it won't boot anyway.
Even if windows did not write correctly the MBR (well, I used the repair console to with FIXMBR and FIXBOOT), the BIOS should probably say something like "No boot sector", but it just hangs.
After that I installed with an IDE HDD connected.
Presuming that "as i recall boards of yours age listed all drives as ide" is true, shouldn't I have IDE5, since there are 4 IDE channels anyway? I will try all the IDE options, anyway.
I did not understand this question "is the make and size of the sata in that list"?
Quote from: Henry on 06-July-12, 07:31:06
It should ID the drive by model number or at least by brand & size as Wonkanoby said, at least it does on newer MBs.
Some options of the device are shown during boot (some RAID adjustments), but it is not displayed anywhere in the BIOS setup.
Also, on most bioses during oot a message is displayed "Press key XXX for boot options", but this one does not display something like this. Any clue if there could be such a key? F1 and F8 do not work.

[VIA] Cannot Boot From SATA PCI Controller With On Board RAID Enabled

Hi.
I have a KT3 ULTRA 2 with onboard RAID controller. I have installed a SUNIX 2 port SATA PCI Controller which works perfectly & appears in the selectable boot devices. This is not a problem except for the fact that I have 4 devices on the On-Board Raid Controller. When the on-board raid controller is enabled, the SATA device dissapears from the boot options & I can no longer boot from the SATA controller.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

I had already tried that....
I set the boot sequence to use the SATA card & then renabled the on-board raid, but after reboot the sata card is not available as a possible boot device & asks me to insert system disk...even if the boot sequence is set to boot from other devices.
Really annoyying this, looks like I am going to have to get a different motherboard for something so silly. I am already at the latest bios release.

GBLAN failure on MSI PT880 NEO-FSR

On a newly built system using the MSI PT880 NEO-FSR I am experiencing intermittent and frequent disconnects from my LAN. I have tested with both Win2000 and WinXP. When the system boots, I generrally get an IP address and gateway address. If I start a continuous ping on another host, after a short while I start receiving "Hardware Error"messages, and Destination host unreachable. Ny IP in most cases is still good, however sometimes it reverts to autonet. If I do ping successfully for a while and start IE, it fails immediately. I have the link with another system, and it works fine...Any ideas?
Thanks, Gary

I have removed components from the system to simplify troubleshooting...the current configuration (still fails) is as follows:

[VIA Series] PT880 Neo-FSR...SOOOO ANGRY!

Hi all,
I bought my PT880 Neo-FSR around late January/early February and until recently I hadn't been doing anything too memory intensive. Recently I bought World of Warcraft and have had many crashes. First it was tolerable, then when it got really bad i thought it was Blizzard's fault. I checked their boards and went throught their steps to rectify. One of which was the memtest86.
I ran the memtest and found that my Corsair was bad, both sticks! So i tried some Kingston. All of it also bad. 7 sticks of memory. I thought, "There's no way that could be right." So I ran memtest on another computer, a cheapie eMachine. Every piece of memory i had was A-ok. I thought i'd get a third PC involved for a final say. I ran the memtest again (mulitple passes each time mind you) and again no errors.
I came here to see if anyone else had a similar problem, and yeah. But no solution for me. This is pretty much my hail-mary. I'd really like help from someone more knowledgeable than myself. I really do not want to buy a new mobo, but WoW is a subscription game...i'd really like to play it as well as edit video, or record stuff with my video card.
If you have any solutions for me PLEASE, I really need help. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

ConeJodc, it's not your memory. Some will tell you it's your pwr supply, some will tell you to change your ddr voltage... it's none of that. This mobo is crap in my opinion because it's got the VIA name on it. Everything I've ever owned that had a VIA chipset eventually blew up (usually it was crap to begin with).
See my latest update in my post regarding this motherboard.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=79880.0
The same memory that tested bad in my PT880 Neo-FSR runs perfectly fine in my new 865PE Neo2.
Return it if you can and get the intel based 478 board.
