SATA 3GB/s Setting In WINXP Pro SP2 For K8N SLI/FI

I have been trying to resolve this issue for a while with no sucess. I have contacted numerous sources and no one can solve this so I hope you people can.
I have two SATA II 3GB/s HDDs installed on a MSI K8N SLI/FI w/ver. 1.8 BIOS. I cannot get these drives to run at 3GB/s. The drives are a WD2500KS w/02.01C03 firmware and a Seagate ST3250410AS - Barracuda 7000.10 w/3.AAA firmware. All jumpers are removed from each drive. I have tried diff. SATA cables. You name it, I tried it. This includes loading and not loading SATA driver via F6 at OS install time and using diff nVidia SATA drivers; 6.66, 6.99, etc.
The problem is that when I view the speed setting options for the nVidia SATA controller in WIN XP Pro SP2, I see all three options shown 1.5 GB, 3.0 GB, and PIO 4 with 1.5 GB set as default. I have tried to manually override to 3 GB but upon reboot, it goes back to 1.5 GB? The Seagate drive has NCQ enabled by default.
I looked at the SATA driver WIN XP registry entries for each drive and SataSpeedSupported is 3 and SataSpeedAllowed is 1? Also appears UDMA is being downgraded from 128 to 64? I have tried to override both these only again to have XP reset them back to their original values on reboot. It is as if XP will not allow any option above 1.5GB?
Finally, the drive speeds are great. I am getting avg. sustained speeds of 80 MB/s on the Seagate and around 60 MB/S on the WD per HD Tach. Also appears that the drives are running in ATA133 mode?
Is their a problem with XP SP2B recognizing newer SATA 3GB/s HDDs   

As far as peaks and valleys on the HD Tach display, it's fairly smooth. Starts in the low 80s and goes to about 90 for the first 120GB or so and then gradually drops to around 50 at the end of the drive. When I was running with the default MS default PCI IDE drivers, I was getting a few large downward spikes.
Use BIOS defaults is set on by default. Setting it on or off makes no difference in setting or performance.
As far as BIOS setting to 1.5GB that's what I thought initially but on a EPOX nForce board I have that only supported 1.5GB, the 3GB option was never shown as an option. So it appears to me that the BIOS is indeed passing the 3GB setting to XP. It looks to me like XP is downgrading these drives to 1.5GB and for the life of me. I can't figure out why. What I did as a prior experiment was to set the SataSpeedActive to 2 and bumbed up the UDMASupported registry settings to the max. 127. That resulted in the 3GB option being shown as the default. Ran a couple of benchmarks at that setting but results were the same as 1.5GB except that the max. speed bar on the nVidia SATA controller showed 300MB. When I rebooted as I stated previously, the settings went back to 1.5GB in the SATA controller display.
What I am wondering is if there was an earlier ver. of the m/b that only supported 1.5GB? I bought this board a couple of months ago from the MSI online store and it was an open box sale. What is strange is the four SATA board connectors are orange and every pic. I have seem of this m/b on the web shows purple connectors? MSI swears the board I have supports 3GB SATA?
On other point. Everest shows the SATA port transfer speed at 300MB in both it's Windows and ATA device displays?
Also, when I look at the driver properties, it is shown as a PCI device. Is that right? If somehow these drives were running off the PCI bus instead of the CK08-04 chip, that would explain the speed limit factor.

  • Using WinXP Pro 64 Beta and WinXP PRO SP2?

    I could not get Games (Half life, Counter Strike, Doom) to work using my beta system. Every time I launch a game the OS gives me the DEP error. I select "allow all". Still no go.
    I installed the HD from my old Pentium Based PC(as slave)which is loaded with WinXP Pro SP2 and everything else in the world. I don't have the origional CD because it was loaned to me from my company(Which is why I loaded Beta to this AMD system in the first place). I work from home sometimes. (good excuse?).
    I can see all of the files in the old drive using explorer. I tried launching the games from the explorer and got the same negative results.
    How do I get the correct Via, AMD, MSI, etc drivers on my XP-32 bit HD so I can boot to it?
    Is There a way to run both OS at same time. This chip is hypertheading, so theoretically it acts like two processors?
    I now have 3 80G HD. One with WinXP ProSP2, One, 64-bit Beta, One on SATA drive with XP Home SP2 (unregistered)lost that key too--it was a disk that came with a Dell Laptop.

    hi
    you should really do a clean install for the OSes as the CPUs are differant and need differant drivers etc, most poeple who try to transfer HDDs have probs, until the re partition, format and install.
    Many systems can co exist, the boot under XP 64 will find installations and form a boot screen to access them all.  Your going to need a XP CD to reinstall I fear. but then you might be lucky,  if you formatted 1 disk, loaded XP 64 bit edition and let it set the C:> drive with Boot files and drivers you might get away with it.

  • Re: Installing WinXP Pro SP2 / Boot Camp - Drive Bay 2 - which partition?

    I am stuck and I can't seem to find the answer through Google searches.
    I have a Mac Pro and I am working on installing WinXP Pro SP2 on a second SATA drive. It is a 500gb drive by Western Digital and it happens to be the same size as the Mac OSX drive - 500gb.
    Because they are alike in size I can't tell which is which in the installer. Here are my options:
    476938mb Drive
    H: Partition 1 (Unknown) - 476938 free
    476938mb Drive
    I: Partition 1 (Unknown) - 200mb free
    C: Partion 2 (Unknown) - 476938 free
    My guess is to install WinXP on the H: partition and I just want to confirm this as I don't really wish to wipe out my MacOS on the drive in Bay 1.
    Can anyone confirm this? I wished this was addressed in the Boot Camp Installation Guide. They only address one drive that is partitioned, not two seperate drives. Also nothing listed shows up with the label BOOTCAMP.
    Thanks in advance.
    Rob

    Pull your OS X drive.
    XP and Vista 32-bit only give you 1.9GB of RAM.
    If you don't need native access or 3D you might just want to later use it with Fusion, VirtualBox or Parallels.
    Apple uses GPT (GUID) which creates those small 200MB and 128MB partitions you see that are essential.
    For me, I would just format the drive as MBR, and FAT/MSDOS or if you have NTFS from MacFUSE or Paragon, format as NTFS (preferable), and pull OS X and then install.

  • Can I set up a pro forma for multiple images

    Hi all
    Well I am a newbie to Keynote and I am really enjoying using it.
    I am trying to set up a pro forma for class photos at a school, the photos have been handed to me by the teachers but are all slightly different sizes.
    My question is can I set up some sort of master document where I can place the photos (head shots) of the students with their names under them ready for a keynote display and have the photos all the same size without editing them separately.
    I need to be able to remove photos occasionally too (ie if they are absent etc) so would need it to be a 'changeable' master rather than a screen shot.  The amount of students in each class varies from 15 to 29 so I would need to accommodate the 29 with names under them and a heading somewhere on the page.
    Is it doable?  Do I do it straight into the keynote or onto a pages document first?
    Thanks in advance for any help advice you can give.
    Regards
    Alitheste

    The Mac OS X Mail application has a "Junk" function that works locally, on the Mac, and just puts emails from previously designated "junk" addresses into a separete folder, so you don't have to wade thru all that spam in your Inbox. It's a very elegant and simple, local solution, that I dearly miss on iOS.

  • Sandisk 120GB Ultra SATA 3Gb/s 2.5" Solid State Drive for macbook pro

    hi all!
    has anyone installed this SANDISK 120 GB ULTRA SATA 3GB/S 2.5 INCH SSD in a macbook pro?
    is it a good SSD? any wise advise will be really helpful.
    many thanks to all

    UPDATE
    After several months of procrastination due to frustrated troubleshooting, I'm finally up and running.
    Long Story Short,
    Finally figured out how to update the firmware but still experienced the crash/eject/drive mounting error.
    After two instant messanger communications with SanDisk support, they agreed to take back my SSD Ultra 240, and for my trouble they replaced it with the SanDisk Extreme 240.
    (I honestly don't know what the difference is between the two)
    Still I needed to update the firmware on my new drive, which again was a big hassle, but after burning a new disc per their instructions (refer to my previous link) and attempting to update on my MacPro (2008 8-Core), and then successfully on my MacBook Pro (2008?), I was able to update the firmware.
    Conclusion, avoid SanDisk for a Mac machine.  OCZ and Crucial SSD's all worked out of the box.
    Now that I have all three 240 SSD's working, I'll keep you posted if any cause further difficulties.

  • Viewing Threads In WinXP Pro SP2

    Hi all,
    I installed Oracle 9iR2 (9.2.0.1.0) WinXP Professional SP2 and tried to use Administrative Assistant to view the background processes/threads. It seems that either there is a bug somewhere or I missed some steps. The dialog box always displayed nothing - no thread.
    Here is what I've done. In Admin Assistant, I right clicked Computers->database->instance_name. I first used 'connect database'. A list of users and roles then displayed. I then chose 'Process Information' under the same menu. But the dialog box was empty. I've double verified that my database was started (i could select table in sqlplus).
    Why there was no thread displayed? Did i miss some steps?
    Thx for any input.

    Alternate solution to your problem.
    You can make use of v$bgprocess and v$process dynamic views.
    Use following query
    select a.name,b.spid from v$bgprocess a,v$process b where a.paddr=b.addr;
    Hope so this will solve your req.

  • WinXP Pro SP2 XE works, VS 2005 Developer tools won't

    Visual Studio 2005 Oracle explorer sees nothing.
    Took me 2 days to figure this out
    Copy the tnsnames.ora file from:
    C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN
    To the new home directory created when you installed Oracle Developer Tools for VS 2005, probably something like :
    C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\Client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN
    Now Oracle explorer will see the XE database when you add a connection.
    If you want to access your database via HTTP and have your XE server installed on an XP Pro SP2:
    By default, Windows XP Pro SP2 Firewall blocks external access to your database on port 8080.
    You must enable HTTP access via Administration on your XE Server. You must also turn the Windows firewall off on the server machine or insert an exception for TCP port 8080 in the Firewall. Firewall settings are located at control panel, firewall, exceptions. Stop the firewall, insert the exception, then start the firewall up again.
    Have fun. Learning is so rewarding.
    Bruce

    Well done.
    I encourage you to post this in the XE forum as well. Gives credit where credit is due - in the forum that can hugely benefit from such info.

  • Neo2 Platinum - WinXP Pro sp2 won't restart, replaced Athlon64 with Athlon64-2

    I did a cpu chip replacement of my Athlon xp 3200+ with an Athlon xp-2 3800.  ($78 form NewEgg).  My windows xp pro, sp2 found the chip so no new install.  I used the AMD drivers for multichip and the WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe to update my os.
    Now, my pc won't do a restart.  It closes widows but then stops without going to the bios post screen and restarting.  I have to do a shutdown to off and then push my on button to get back to windows.  A lot of application updates ask for restarts on installs or updates.  I never had this problem with the single cpu.
    Has anyone else had this occur?  Is there a fix?  My new cpu runs a bit hotter than the old.  I get core temp. 42 C and AMD 64 temp. 41-48 C in SpeedFan.  (case temp. 18 C)  How does this compare with others with this board and cpu?

  • 6210 & 6310i on PCSync 4.81 WinXP Pro SP2

    Hey folks.
    I've recently gotten a 6310i to the 6210 I had, now I tried using the Content Copier from 4.81 to get my contacts etc from the 6210 to the 6310i.
    Weirdest behaviour ever. My connection type is Infrared. I start IR on the 6210, set it next to my Acer NB and *pop* there's a connection. I can even use Content Copier to backup my phone. (Even thought 4.81 doesn't support XP SP2)
    Now I switch off my 6210 and start up my 6310i, fire up infrared on the phone, put it next to the Notebook and... Nothing. I restart my machine, set the 6310i on IR next to the Notebook, and the Nokia Connection Manager needs a while, then shows a 6310i available.
    However, Content Copier finds no usable phone.
    2 Questions:
    1: How do I get Content Copier to recognize the 6310i and copy the backuped data onto it.
    And 2: to which version of the PCSuite can I upgrade to properly run the software on XP SP2 and still get the fancy functions working on my phones?
    Thanks for any help, Kai

    Depends on what you consider the fancy functions ? It is really more about the fact your phone 6210 and 6310i do not support too many of the newest PC Suite (6.81.13) functions. (like you cannot really put any music to your phones, but the old Pc Suite for example had a Phone editor with messaging support that I personnally liked more than the current one))
    I understand you still have both phones ? Try udgrading to Pc Suite 5.8.
    You find it from www.nokia.com/pcsuite, if you select say 6230 and then windows 98se/Me version. I think it leads you to rather old 5.8, but it is certainly newer than 4.81 and I think it was the first version I used to use with my good old 6230 and XP

  • SB Live! WinXp Pro SP2 probl

    I installed my old SB Li've! card in my new system (Athlon64 3500+, MSI K8n Neo2 Platinum). Windows recognized the card and installed its own drivers, I reboot and everything is working properly. I install the Li'veDRV-pack driver pack, which seems to go OK, I reboot, I hear part of the log on sound and then the sound cuts out. Then there is no sounds comming through the card. The creative diagnostics list everthing as a pass, and the speaker test work, but I get no sounds from windows or any applications.
    I have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no evail. I think this is an SP2 issue but there is no obvious error to go on.
    Any ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated.
    Mike

    Mdidonato,
    Try this:
    Go to Control Panel/Systems, then go to the advanced tab. On here there will be a button for performance Options, click on this. In here there should be a tab for Data Execution Prevention. Set this to "turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select". You will now want to add the CThelper program to the list in here, it is typically located in c:\windows\system32. Then reboot the system and see if you get sound.
    The DEP error is caused by a feature on your processor called "Enhanced Virus Protection (AMD)" or "Enahanced Disable Bit (Intel)" or NX (No eXecute) Bit in non-trademark speak. This is a new way to prevent buffer overflow exploits from effecting your system, however it can have some drawbacks. Let's see if disabling this helps us fix the problem.

  • Synch bombs WinXP  Pro SP2 on two different iPods

    OK, here's my issue and I haven't seen anyone report anything quite like it.
    I have two different iPods: a 60GB and a very new 160 GB Classic.
    Both "fail" synch test in iTunes but the test output is not helpful in explaining "why."
    I have about 40 GB of mp3 and audiobook files in iTunes.
    If I "restore" either machine and put them on autosynch they will gl through importing all 6,000+ items (as indicated by the iTunes progress window) and then, suddenly, you end up looking at a blank black screen (not the GUI) with flat cursor blinking at upper left...computer hung up stone cold dead.
    If you power down the computer, the iPod will recognize it has been disconnected. Examining it (both) then gives you your various playlists, mostly without content, and a few (like 8 or 10) mp3s and audiobooks at max.
    If I load the playlists manually, one-by-one, I can upload all the content and the iPods work OK (but still fail synch tests).
    After uploading the bulk of the material, I can put them on autosynch and make minor changes such as adding a song or two and they will synch to completion. But neither will execute a complete upload without crashing on autosynch although placing the same amount of content manually works OK.
    Anyone ever see this behavior?

    Pull your OS X drive.
    XP and Vista 32-bit only give you 1.9GB of RAM.
    If you don't need native access or 3D you might just want to later use it with Fusion, VirtualBox or Parallels.
    Apple uses GPT (GUID) which creates those small 200MB and 128MB partitions you see that are essential.

  • What is the best export setting from QuickTime Pro 7 for standard DVD

    I have several AVI movies I took and want to import them into iMovie, so I can create a DVD that will play in any DVD player or computer. (Along with a bunch of pictures.)
    Should I convert them with QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP7) to another format, and if so, what is the best export setting.
    I have export them using *_QuickTime 10_* and QTP7 to *MOV, MP4, & M4V* and the output is *+bad bad bad+*.
    I have tried both export and save-as. Neither has done a good job.
    The internal information of the AVI movies are: (as reported by QT)
    Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions, 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz
    I have used several settings with not much luck including:
    AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz, MPEG-4 (Perian), 640 x 480, Millions
    MPEG-4 Video, H.264
    Should I be using a better application then QuickTime?
    Is there a way to just use iDVD with the original AVI movies?
    These are wedding movies and pictures that people are waiting for.

    Should I convert them with QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP7) to another format, and if so, what is the best export setting.
    That depends on your specific work flow and the codec(s) involved. Generally speaking, if the file plays in the QT Player and is "conversion" compatible, then the file can be added directly to iDVD (i.e., unlike iMovie '08/'09/'11 which requires the file to be "edit" compatible with QT).
    I have export them using QuickTime 10 and QTP7 to MOV, MP4, & M4V and the output is bad bad bad.
    The quality of your output file will depend on a number of things: primarily the quality of your source file, the efficiency of the target codec, and the specific settings used. (About which you did not elaborate.) The rule of thumb here is that your output will never be better than your input and each re-comprssion of the data has the potential to degrade the quality to some degree.
    I have tried both export and save-as. Neither has done a good job.
    The "Export" option re-compresses the data while the "Save As..." option only places the original data in an MOV file container. So if this output is "bad, bad, bad," then I suspect your source file(s) are not of high quality to begin with. (This seems to be confirmed by the very low audio sampling rate which implies the video data rate was probably also low to conserve file storage space.)
    The internal information of the AVI movies are: (as reported by QT)... Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions, 8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 11.024 kHz
    The basic codecs here appear to be both playback and conversion compatitible with QT (other than the very low sampling rate which some QT apps may not like). Thus, if your work flow is to simply burn DVDs that can be played on commercial players, the AVI could most likely be dropped to iDVD for authoring. On the other hand, if you are editing in a recent version of iMovie, then that app may not like the AVI file container. In this case, the best quality you can likely expect would be to use the "Save As..." option to place the data in an MOV file container and import to iMovie.
    Unfortunately, editing in iMovie '08/'09/'11 is done "by reference" which means your output file will be created by exporting the impoted source data to another compression format. The default would be H.264/AAC which is a highly compressed format which in turn would be re-compressed again by iDVD to multiplexed MPEG2/PCM content further reducing quality by using a less efficient video codec. My recommendation for export from iMovie in this case would be AIC/Linear PCM. (I.e., to export your edits to the Apple intermediat video codec using the original file size and frame rate with just a bit of "sharpening" and using 16-bit/48 kHz Linear PCM audio (which is what will be used to create the DVD).
    Should I be using a better application then QuickTime?
    How much are you willing to spend?
    Is there a way to just use iDVD with the original AVI movies?
    Yes. Simply create a new SD project, select your theme, drop the compatible AVI content to the appropriate "drop" area(s), add photos as desired, preview the results, and author the DVD if/when satisfied.

  • How do you set up Logic Pro 9 for transposing instruments?

    Is it possible to set up Logic to recognise transposing instruments? In other words, if I'm playing a Bb trumpet part in C, the score would display the part transposed one tone higher & display the correct key signature, but it would still sound in C. The orchestral template does this for you, but I prefer to work from scratch.
    Calicoprinter.

    Hi
    You can do this on a region by region basis by selecting the appropriate Staff Style in the Score Inspector.
    If you want to apply a particular Staff Style to a particular track automatically as you record, you can adjust the Style parameter at the bottom of the Track Parameter Box.

    Of additional note is that the shortcut to launch the IDE is placed on the desktop, but the target file, runidew.exe, doesn't exist anywhere on the machine.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Can you please be more specific on what kind of problems you're having. Where are you downloading from?
    I suggest you download the trial of the latest version, Sun ONE Studio 5 which also supports Window XP.
    You can get it from: http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/products/3edd36bd.html
