Hi,
I would like to install a dualboot (W7/Linux) on my CX70 computer.
But, I can't because there are to much partitions (4). So, I created an ISO image of the recovry partition and I would like to know how I can delete it ?

  • MSI X99S SLI Plus & Samsung XP941 SSD

    Hello All,
    I have just put a system together using the MSI X99S SLI Plus board and a Samsung XP941 M2. SSD.
    The base build is done and I have tested it for stability and all is ok (Windows installed onto the M2. SSD in PCIe mode).
    I have connected drives to SATA ports 2-6 (intentionally left 1 out for now, another SSD later); the system boots with no issues from the M2.SSD.
    I experience issues when I connect drives to the SATA ports 7 and 8. When drives are connected to these ports, the system does not correctly detect the M2.SSD. Note, ports 5&6 have been left disconnected as per the manual.
    During bootup in this configuration the system will report that the M2.SSD is:
    ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
    (yes y with the two dots above).
    In short, it does not detect it correctly, if the system is left to boot it just shows a blinking cursor in the top left of the screen.
    The only way I have been able to get around this issue has been to set the sSATA (ports 7-10) to IDE mode, this then allows the system to detect the SSD and all appears to work. I don't want to use the sSATA controller in IDE mode and would like to get it working in AHCI mode.
    Has anyone else experienced this or have any recommendations on what I could try? I have attempted other configurations to get this working to no avail.
    Thanks for any help!

    I RMA the my MSI SLI PLUS X99S for the second time. Explained about the quad channel is not working even  the bank 5 , 6 , 7 and 8 are not working with a single memory stick. Iam done with it they have tested in 1,2,3,4  but thats dual channel. the have not tested it on bank  5.6.7 and 8. Can someone here from MSI contact Alternate.nl Netherlands (holland) from the reseller to return this Board. I payd for the Quad channel feature and not dual channel . I tested it again not working! iam realy angry about this, because i have spend lot of money for this and the quad channel doesnt even work with the latest bios i installed even downgrade it to 1.4 !  Please one of the helpdesk to contact them thank you!

    As the installation should be very easy you have most likely not installed it correctly and therefor it is also not recognized. Add a photo of the installation situation.

  • How do I format new Samsung 850 Pro SSD in my 2012 Mac Mini

    So my 12 year old is frustrated by the slower speed of his mac mini, and with some of his birthday money and my expertise (which I hope to borrow from you and pass off as my own), I've purchased a Samsung 850 Pro SSD (256 GB) and am going to install it for him.  We've already increased the memory.   I've also purchased the OWC data doubler and am planning to install the Samsung with the original Mac hard drive.  
    Having watched the install videos several times I feel fairly competent to do that, but my question is what to do then to access and make the most use of the SSD so everything (1) works and (2) runs as fast as possible?    For example, first, do I need to copy the OS to the SSD and delete from the Mac hard drive, and then somehow set up the SSD as the main drive?   And do I do this before I install the SSD or can I do it after?   Finally, what do I need to do to ensure that the computer uses the two drives optimally thereafter for maximum speed/performance.  You can see my level of expertise from my questions.
    Other than the memory and the SSD install, we're not planning any other modifications, and his use of the mini is pretty vanilla (games, videos, etc.).    Any step-by-step help for a relative novice in this area (me) would be much appreciated.   
    My Mac's specs:
    Mac mini (late 2012)
    Processor:  2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 16 GB
    OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

    1. Partition and format the SSD.
    2. Install OS X on the SSD.
    Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
    How to use an SSD with your HDD
    If you are going to use an SSD as a boot drive together with your existing HDD as the "data" drive, here's what you can do.
    After installing the SSD you will need to partition and format the SSD using Disk Utility. Then, install OS X on the SSD. After OS X has been installed boot from the SSD. Use Startup Disk preferences to set the SSD as the startup volume.
    Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your user account listing in the sidebar and select Advanced Options from the context menu. You will see a field labeled "Home dir:" At the right end you will see a Change button. Click on it. In the file dialog locate the Home folder now located on the HDD (HDD/Users/account_name/.) Select the folder, click on Open button. Restart the computer as directed. When the computer boots up it will now be using the Home folder located on the HDD.
    Another more technical method involving the Terminal and aliases is discussed in depth here: Using OS X with an SSD plus HDD setup - Matt Gemmell. This is my preferred approach because I can select which of the Home's folders I want on the HDD and which I don't want. For example, I like to keep the Documents and Library folders on the SSD because I access their content frequently.
    Be sure you retain the fully bootable system on your HDD in case you ever need it.

  • Can 1st and 3rd slots of X99S SLI Plus be used for SLI?

    Can I use the 1st and 3rd full size PCI slots for SLI on the MSI Global X99S SLI PLUS mobo?
    Specs:
    * i7-5960X, intend to OC
    * Corsair H100i cooling
    * Corsair AX860i pu
    * 32gig 2400 DDR4
    * Samsung XP941 256GB Ultra M.2 PCIe
    * 2x Gigabyte GTX 970 Gaming, intend to OC
    I'd like to not put the 970's on top of each other when there's so much extra space - will i get PCIx16 if I use the 1st and 3rd full size slots? Any downside at all?

    yeah its a shame, makes for a bad design if using sli on air imho, one card runs 20-25c hotter than the other :(
    if I had known of this design problem i would have gone for a different board :(
    can't understand MSI's reason for this?
    not looking forward to the summer heat coming, might have to try water cooling (if there is room) but even that looks a tight fit?
    has anyone run wwater cooling on the MSI GTX970 Gaming on these boards?

  • MSI X99S SLI PLUS - What a Nightmare!!

    Hi There...
    I have purchased the board X99S SLI PLUS.
    But since day one, has been a real nightmare to work with it...
    I have a 5820k CPU and 32GB 8x4gb GSkill DDR4 2400mhz black.
    I have flashed both bios to 1.20, to try to improve my situation to no avail...
    I still have random boot problems, where the boot process stops on the "B4" reference on the lower corner right...
    That happens when i do some restart on the OS for exemple...
    Some times it hangs there and don´t go anywhere, other times it goes to the bios screen and do the POST.
    When it hangs i have to press reset to restart the system and at that time it posts normally.
    The other issues, are allready inside the bios....
    Sometimes the bios hangs from nothing... like when i want to the Sensor monitors, or when i apply the settings...
    Last time i think the bios went corrupt, because when i pressed reset the power light and hdd don´t light anymore and there is no action on the POST...
    Have to switch to the Green BIOS, to get the system up again...
    This is a very bad bios product, and i don´t really understand why theses products don´t have a better quality control.
    Now i have a NON FUNCTION BIOS on the blue side, and a problematic bios on the green side.
    Also... There is some memory problems on Windows 8.1, because i have allready have some random BSOD (more when i activate the XMS option).
    Also there is some kind of problem with Samsung SSD Rapid Option and this board, because i also get some BSOD refering the Rapid process.
    To reference, my system is NOT OVERCLOCKED, the cpu are at default and so is the memories...
    What can be done?
    - To recover the corrupted and failed blue side bios
    - To resolve the hangouts on boot sequence that stops at "B4"
    - To resolve the random lockups inside the bios (THAT corrupts the damm BIOS)
    - To improve reliability of this Board...
    So far im not impressed with this product... I was expecting far more from MSI, after i have a good experience with my latest Z77 Gamming board.
    I really need help here because i do need my system to work...
    Best Regards,
    Paulo Eduardo
    PS: Sorry for my english, but that is not my native language...

    @ LPC >>Posting Guide<<
    OC is a bit of a nightmare, and it's not because of bad motherboard or CPU, it's just as it is. OC is usually never stable, and it's long way to find correct voltages, multiplier etc..
    Quote from: stenergut on 29-September-14, 21:31:19
    Hi LPC
    Would you happen to have anything connected to SATA port 5 or 6?
    I cant get my motherboard to recognize HDDs in those two ports. 1-4 and 7-8 works fine. Just not 5-6.
    Just wanna figure out if my board is defect or if this is a general issue.
    Please open your own thread instead of hijacking other's. Also follow >>Posting Guide<<

  • Overclocking X99S SLI PLUS with XP941

    Hello everyone. I'm trying to overclock my CPU and RAM.
    My setup is as follow :
    X99S SLI PLUS (latest bios 1.6)
    5820K
    Gskill F4-3000C15Q-16GRR
    Samsung XP941 as boot drive
    As long as I don't touch the BCLK everything's fine. I can achieve without effort 4.2 Ghz on the core and 3.7 Ghz on the ring.
    But Then, my DDR4 is stuck at 2666 Mhz.
    As soon as I try to level up the BCLK (even by 1Mhz), the board boots and CPU and RAM are OK but the XP941 isn't seen by the board anymore. It's very strange ! I don't get the link between the 2 : why is the BCLK affecting the PCIe or Sata system ?
    So, in these conditions, I cannot achieve the 3000 Mhz possible on my RAM (which would require a 125 Mhz BCLK). It's kinda disappointing.
    Is any of you experimenting the same phenomenon ? How can you explain ? Is there a solution ?

    OK. So I tried again and took some snapshots.
    First, I found a bug with this new 1.6 version of the Bios. Hope it won't crash ... My HDD are not recognized anymore !! 
    Then I tried to play with the settings. You will see below what the bios gives me as possibilities. Wether I enable or not the XMP profile or select the 200 Mhz or 266 Mhz reference clock, I cannot set the memory to 3000 Mhz !
    So to summarize :
    I cannot raise the BCLK of the CPU or my M.2 SSD is not recognized anymore and my OS won't load
    I cannot set my memory setting to 3000 Mhz whatever setting I'm trying
    I found a bug in the new bios version in the list of Harddrives connected to the board
    Not a happy week so far ... 
    DDR4 options with 200 Ref clock (same with XMP enabled) :
    DDR4 options with 266 ref clock (same with XMP enabled) :
    DDR4 options with Auto ref clock :
    DDR4 options with Auto ref clock and XMP :

  • Random shutdowns X99S SLI Plus, ms-7885

    Hello,
    I'm trying to narrow down some random shutdowns. These seemed to be completely random and could happen with the computer idling. The computer just shutdowns and reboots. Nothing in the log, no BSOD. I have tried to trigger the problem by running CPU and GPU stresstests without success.
    Until wither 3 came out. With witcher 3 the problem is 100% reproducible. Start witcher 3 => shutdown.
    I can play other games for hours without any problems.
    Can someone give a hint on how to find the problem?
    /Tommy
    Board: X99S SLI Plus

    Some updates...
    Tried to run with only two memory sticks, no problem with that. Even if I switch one it works. But with three it crashes after I exit witcher 3. Wierd since I can play the game without problem.
    Ran some memtests one only one stick in. Only got errors in the "hammer test" which I guess is ok.
    Put all four memories in again and ran memtest over the night. It ran one pass and after that the comp shut down and rebooted.
    Downclocked memory to 1333 and ran 4 passes memtest without any crash. Some hammer test errors only.
    I'm now trying to run at 2200 and it seems fine. I can play witcher and exit without any crash.
    Is it the memory or the MB? Or just a bad combo?

  • *TERRIBLE* "Write" speeds w/2x Samsung 850 Pro Internal SSD (RAID-0).. HELP! ( pics)

    [url]http://imgur.com/a/5p05u[/url]
    Hello.. I was really hoping somebody could help me out with this, as I'm pretty much starting to lose hope..
    I've attached as many relative screenshots as possible, to make it easier to quickly see what's going on.
    I've got [b]2x brand-new, Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD's[/b] installed inside my MacBook Pro.. [b]One inside the hard-drive bay, and one inside the Optical Bay[/b] (SuperDrive Bay), using an OWC Data-Doubler..
    I've got these drives configured using Disk Utility, into a RAID-0 striped configuration..
    [u]The drives are rated @:[/u]
    [b]Sequential Read:[/b] 550MB/s
    [b]Sequential Write:[/b] 520MB/s
    [img]http://i.imgur.com/sY83PX0.png[/img]
    So "theoretically", I should be achieving approximately close to double these speeds (since that's the basis behind RAID-0 configurations)
    [u]Both SSD's are connected internally via SATA-III (6Gigabit Link + 6Gigabit Negotiated Link Speed)[/u].. Both in the hard-drive bay, as well as in the Optical Bay (confirmed in pictures)..
    I'm getting [b]*EXCELLENT* "Read" Speeds[/b], yet [b]*HORRIBLE* "Write Speeds[/b].. to the point that the RAID-0 software configuration is not even achieving *near* the "Write" Speed of even one of these drives.. let alone 2 of these drives in RAID-0..
    [img]http://i.imgur.com/0jw9Z7l.png[/img]
    I've tried contacting Samsung directly regarding this issue, but since they don't exactly get along with Apple, and even more-so, dislike anything that has to do with "RAID" configurations, I was left with practically no help on that end..
    I've tried contacting Apple, who said that I'm pretty much on my own, in terms of support, since [i]they[/i] don't exactly get along with Samsung either.. and don't provide much of any support whatsoever, when it comes to third-party, hardware components that are not upgraded directly through Apple themselves.. (aka no support for user-end personal upgrades)
    Both of these drives are [b]*Brand New*[/b] directly out-of-the-box, shipped from Amazon, as "new, un-opened" items..

I tried to provide the [b]most comprehensive[/b] troubleshooting steps I've taken thus far, as to hopefully make this thread as fruitful as possible, and eliminate any unnecessary steps that have already been taken..
    I've tried re-formatting and re-installing OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 several times now, hoping that maybe one of them would allow the RAID formation to work as it should, yet none so far have proven successful..
    If you have any time to look through and read this thread, I can't tell you how appreciative I'd be for your help and any advice possible that you can give me.. I do large amounts of audio processing, producing, along with many other taxing system processes, so I'd really like to get this RAID-0 configuration working as it should be..
    Please do not waste your time by bashing RAID-0 or writing an unhelpful, opinionated comment that does not move this process forward.. I understand the risks of RAID-0, I run [b]daily backups[/b], as well as having an Apple Time Capsule running in full-force, all day long.. My data is well backed-up, and I understand the risks.
    If anybody has dealt with this sort of issue before, please, give me any advice that you can.. I tried to put in the most effort possible with uploading and embedding all of these photos, as to not waste your time and to hopefully make this troubleshooting process as smooth as possible
    Thank you all so much in advance! :apple:

  • Can i install samsung 850 pro 1 tb solid state drive in my "macbook pro 2012 mid".

    Hi, anyone know. can i install samsung 850 pro 1 tb solid state drive in my "macbook pro 2012 mid". any compatibility issues?

    "In addition to TRIM, I just stumbled on this discussion. One of the posters is having some odd difficulties with that combination."
    Yup and that's why I've avoided any 3rd party SSDs.
    I only deal with:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC
    I've done 6 so far and no problems at all; formatting, installing nothing. Total no brainer. I did have a small formatting problem on my last one but I called them and solved the problem before the guy got on the phone. He immediately offered a return sticker (RMA) but I didn't need it and the MBP is running fine.

  • 4-pin CPU-PWR connector on x99s SLI Plus

    I'm attempting to install a Kraken x-61 cooler into my Corsair 780T case and the MSI X99S SLI Plus mobo.  One step says:
    Connect the 3-pin power cable from the pump to the 4-pin CPU-PWR connector on the motherboard.
    In the MSI x99S SLI Plus mobo and the manual (En-6) I can't find anything called CPU-PWR.  The 3-pin power cable fits into the 4-pin CPUFAN1 connector, but I don't know if that's the correct connection.  Could someone tell me where the CPU-PWR connector is on the MSI X99S SLI Plus motherboard?

    it can be confusing to start with but you get used to it once you have done it a few times!
    so yes connect it to the fan header for CPU as that line has a sense pin that will detect if your pump fails and will shut the computer off to prevent the CPU overheating to stop it breaking the processor! just take your time and anything your not sure of feel free to ask us!

  • Samsung 850 Pro 1TB in MacPro 2010 ..?

    Hi,
    I am thinking of placing a Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SSD in a MacPro 2010.
    On it i will install 10.10.
    It will replace my current mechanical system HD
    A few questions:
    - Is this possible at all and do i have to have special additional equipment to place it ?
    - Is it true that it will run 3xsata and not 6x sata ?
    - Can you recommend this ? in term of speed and TRIM and/or other issues ?
    - Would PCIe based SSD be possible also in a MacPro ?
    Hope 2 hear from you,
    Rob.

  • X99s sli plus Mac address 88-88-88-88-87-88

    Hey all,
    I just built a new pc for work with a brand new msi x99S sli plus mobo.  It works great but i have a small problem, I have to installed licensed software which requires a valid mac address for my provider to give me a license.  My mac is 88-88-88-88-87-88 which does not work.  Is there any way to change so that it is thoe one on the mobo sticker?
    Thanks

    I followed the procedure in the link that Bernhard had provided and it worked;

    link to Eeupdate is no longer invalid [ http://64.183.18.101/faq/utility/eeupdate.exe ]

    this version of Eeupdate is not suitable for latest x9xx series
    the one that i attached below works for Z97, so i hope to work for his mobo too

  • X99S SLI Plus losing drive connectivity

    My new X99S SLI Plus is losing connectivity to drives in SATA ports 5 & 6 (the two Sata Express ports).  They are ADATA SSDs.  The Intel RAID controller is in RAID mode, and I was trying to get 4 of these drives on ports 3-6 into a RAID5 array. 
    At first, the controller wouldn't even see the last two drives.  I've flashed to latest BIOS and latest Intel drivers and now it sees the drives, but the array constantly goes into rebuild.
    Any suggestions?
    Thx!

    Hello,
    Did you try to change other cable to test? What does BIOS show under Settings--System Status, you see 2 of your SSD or all of them can be detected?

  • Samsung 850 Pro into a MBP (early '11 15") issue

    OK, so bear with me as I'm new to this and I hope I get all the information and terms right!
    I have just completed a major upgrade on my MBP and am now having issues installing the operating system on my new Samsung 850 Pro SSD.
    My system is as follows;
    MacBook Pro 15" early 2011 model 8.2
    2.2GHz i7 quad core
    4GB RAM which I have upgraded to16GB with no issues (I hope?)
    500GB HDD has been moved to the optical bay via OWC Data Doubler
    Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD installed into main bay
    OS X 10.8.5, also a recent upgrade, was running 10.7.5 for years
    I can boot the system from the HDD with no issues. I have formatted the SSD to Journal and both disk utility and finder both can see the drive. Now to instal the OS on the SSD.
    Plan A; Clone the HDD to the SSD via Disk Utility. I got an error telling me to do this via the recovery disk (obviously) which I did, this resulted in an error stating that the disk didn't have enough space. Not sure how much it needs but the HDD states it is only using 56GB to go into 256GB.
    Plan B; Tried to do an install onto the SSD via recovery. This resulted in an error stating that this was not available and to try again later. I have tried several times, at different times of the day, for 2 days now, both using Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections. No luck
    Plan C; Tried restoring SSD from a disk image of HDD from an external drive. Same error as plan A.
    Plan D; Erased HDD to test if i was doing either plan B or plan C incorrectly. When I attempted to do the install on the HDD via recovery I got the exact same message (frustrating as I have done this several times over the years). Then attempted to restore the HDD from the disk image on the external drive which was successful!
    Therefore, after 2 days of back and forth I am back to the beginning, awesome!!!
    So I basically need to know how to get OSX 10.8.x on to the SSD so I can use this as my start up disk. I am a Pro Tools user and therefore can only run 10.8.x (the x because it doesn't matter which version). One of my options is to go to my (not so) local Apple store and see if they can run one of their disk images onto the SSD, (this is how I upgraded to 10.8.5) but I can't get there for another week and was hoping to get the system up and running before then as I have some testing to be done.
    So here's the big question, what am I doing wrong?
    I really appreciate everyone's help on the matter.
    Merry Christmas

    Try going to the App Store Purchases tab on the HDD and download 10.8 to the HDD. When the installer starts, point it at the SSD. Before you install, make a copy of the installer so you won't have to download it again. You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.
