SATA and PATA setups

I have the NEO2-PLS with a Seagate SATA drive, IBM ATA100 HDD and WD ATA66 HDD on IDE1, Samsung DVD-ROM and HP CD-RW on IDE2 installed.
Now what settings would I need so the SATA drive is the primary but the IDE1 AND IDE2 hardware is recognized in the BIOS?
From what I read in the FAQ and other threads is that you can have the SATA be the primary but only the IDE1 hardware be used as secondary. If that is true then what about my IDE2 stuff?

Questions to Danny or Reily or other experts:
I have a similar situtation (875 neo-fis2r). I just bought a Seagate Barcuda (SATA)160GB. I used Drive Magic 7.0 to copy my older IBM 100 GB (IDE) drive partitions (including the primary) to this new drive. I then set the IDE drive in Slave mode but the XP Pro boot always starts from my old drive primary (C partition).
In BIOS, I setup ATA mode as Danny suggested but my "SATA keep alive" is "NO" and I can't change it. I connected the SATA drive to the Intel Serial-1 controller.
How do I change the SATA keep alive to YES and how do I switch Booting XP from the new drive primary partition (Seagte drive primary partition is an exact copy of the IBM drive primary partition).
Thanks.

PATA on PATA 2
TIA
Carn

nevermind...I fixed my problem
I had my CDROM in the Raid channels
Dont you think they would put the hard drive channels 0 and 1 and the cdrom 2...no they put the cdrom as 0 and the hd raid as 1 and 2
phew, thank goodness I got it

[Other 865 Series] 865PE Neo3-F (SATA and PATA problems),please help,thx

Hi
I have MSI 865PE Neo3-F mainboard and I have a few little problems with Neo.
My first:
I have HDD Maxtor DiamondMax10 300GB,16MB cache,SATA.When I was installing Windows,(widows setup) it shows that HDD has only 131GB.BIOS shows 251GB.what does it mean?Not supported HDD or only 130GB for one partition?
My second:
I want to connect also P-ATA HDD,but BIOS don´t see him.
What would be IDE settings in BIOS and also jumper settings on PATA HDD and DVD when I want use:
SATA as Primary Master (system disk)
PATA as Secondary Master
DVD-ATA IDE as Secondary Slave
My last:
What I should installing when I want to use all advantages of SATA HDD and what would be BIOS settings?
PLEASE HELP IT IS URGENTLY,CAUSE I HAVE TO WORK TO MY SCHOOL
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
Thank you

At the first thank you for your reply.
Yes it works.
Sorry I didn´t post my OS.My OS is XP (with SP2,now).
Configuration:
P4 Prescott 540J 3.2GHz,FSB800MHz,HT (enabled)
MSI 865PE Neo3-F
2x APACER 512MB DDR400 (Dual channel,slot 1 and 3)
ASUS FX5700 256MB
Maxtor DiamondMax10 300GB,16MB cache,7200rpm
DVD-RW Plextor 716AK
After installing Service Pack 2 windows shows that HDD has 300GB,but I created two partitions before (C:\ [30GB] and D:\ [100GB] in windows setup) and now (after install SP2 E:\ [170GB]) one partition in Windows.Problem how do I put together last two partitions (D:\ and E:\) to one partition?
so if I right understand after this settings in BIOS:
Native Mode
ATA Configuration - PATA only (or SATA-only)
SATA Keep enabled - yes
PATA Keep enabled - yes
PATA channel selection - both
and what about another two options in this menu?what are the settings?(somtehing about 1st channel and so on)
connections looks like that:
on IDE ATA100 cable from IDE1 will be connect HDD ATA100 as Master and DVD as slave?
on SATA cable from SATA1 will be connect HDD SATA?
How system knows which one from two Masters HDD is System disk?from Boot menu?
Is some page on the web where can I find closer explain of IDE (SATA) settings for MB MSI?
Sorry for questions,but I am working at the first time with SATA disk

SATA and PATA port Selection on P965 Neo - Advice please!

Hello,
I am just waiting for my parts to arrive, including the P965 Neo. I was wondering about the JMicron controller and the ICH8 Intel SATA ports and how to best use them.
My setup will be one SATA 320gb HD and one PATA DVD writer.
My question is where best to connect these? I don't want or need NCQ or RAID, so can I connect the HD to one of the serial port of the ICH8 and just have the DVD drive connected to the JMicron?
Do I need to install the JMicron driver at all?
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the reply.
If I want to use only the IDE channel for my DVD drive (HDD will be on ICH8 SATA port), can I install the JMicron driver after I have installed Windows XP?
I don't have a floppy for this build, so I want to avoid having to 'F6' at install time.
Thanks once again.

SATA and PATA issue

I currently have system set up running XP Pro on Neo-2LS motherboard and a Western Digital 80meg SATA hard drive. I want to add my old 80 meg IDE (PATA) harddrive. However, I cannot get my regular IDE harddrive to be recognized in windows or in the BIOS. My SATA drive still fine after I connected the second harddrive. I have my Bios setting set to PATA and SATA in native mode. I searched through the forums but have not found anything that worked. Your suggestions on how to solve this would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

All that you need is one software utility ,for hard drive automated installation , visit the site of your hard disk maker , in order to download the software .
You will end up with one boot diskette, that it will boot your system and will guide you all the way..

Can you have SATA and PATA drives at the same time?

Right now I have 2 PATA drives hooked up to the board. Is it possible to hook up a SATA drive that will be a non-boot drive for just storage purposes?

You can havepata disks + Sata, with sata as boot or not, you just need to update the Hard disk boot order in advanced bios settings.

SATA or PATA hdd ??

Hi,
I´m planning a hdd upgrade and are a bit unsure what to choose between sata and pata disks.
Up until now I´ve preffered pata disks of several reasons but more and more of high performance hdd are running sata, so my question;
Will I loose any OC capability when running sata disks ?
Will I be able to run the sata disk at same FSB as my PATA ( at least 240-250fsb) without datacorruption, assuming I lock AGP/PCI to 66/33 ????
Is there any other issues involved when talking OC with sata disks on MSI 865pe boards ( No raid) .
Thanks for comments and input.

But, Maesus, like Danny said that he only can go to around 230?
And if I'm not wrong, many users using SATA (1 or 2 which from ICH5) also reported can go only around 230. But this problem goes when they tried to use SATA 3 or 4 (which from 3rd party).
But my board is only standard "P", so my board only have SATA 1 and 2 (from ICH5).
Is it really safe to OC more than FSB 230 with SATA HDD? (as maybe my local store will not accept RMA for HDD only because it's limiting my OC )
Thanx.
nb: I think I really need new HDD, as mine is so slow on loading. My system is very fast when working only with RAM (app have loaded) + CPU, and become faster after overclocked... but when loading big application at first... fiuhh, I don't feel the speed at all...

KM4M-V + SATA Drive, Hangs at Boot, Tried IDE Drive and During Setup, Powers Off

I bought 2 KM4M-V boards to upgrade my ailing 1880+ systems. Then realized I needed DDR as well so went back for that and also decided to update CPU's to Sempron 2600+. Also picked up Seagate 80Gb SATA and a 350 watt PSU (Alaska ATX 350 P4) which was recommened for this board by the dealer.
I am having so much trouble I am about to throw in the towel. Since I am 'upgrading' everything in the system except the CDRom drive I should have just started all over with 64-bit systems but now I am kind of stuck since it is over 30 days ago I got the MB's.
Problem 1:
Using only the single SATA drive I never could get past the DMI Pool data line in Setup, it would just hang there. I read all about how to deal with SATA drives with this or similar boards here. SATA is enabled in BIOS but I can never get to the F6 load drivers step to try that. If I remove the SATA cable Setup will procede so it is something with the Seagate possibly? No jumpers needed and no preparation done to the drive. BIOS does not see the drive but the setup RAID utility does see it but says I cannot set up single drive as RAID of course, but it does report proper data about the drive. Never can get past Bios POST with SATA drive hooked up (channel 0 or 1)
Finally gave up on that and ran into Problem 2:
Put an older IDE drive in as only HD and XP Windows setup gets cranking along coping files then the system just dies. Like some pulled the plug suddenly. Happen every time. I checked for heat problems. Even ran through memory tests (SIMMTESTER), tried swapping cables, plugs and wall circuits. It dies every time no matter what.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

DMI pool data? When changing mobo but keeping hard disk one should do a repair install of Windows and install the mobo drivers for the new mobo.
I originally wanted to keep the Windows install but decided to remove original C drive and save for eventual D drive use. A repair install warns you that your 'My Documents' folder 'may' be deleted and I didn't want to risk it as I have years and years of photos I didn't want to risk losing.

Addit: Seems something isn't right in the IDE configuration, or what Windows think is the config.
Bios is happy with WD drive as single master on one channel and CDRom as single master on the other (No jumper on Drive- osnavi). Windows install starts out just fine with my intention of creating a new partition but then it just BOOM, power off. My preference is to use the new SATA Baracuda as system drive and my old IDE C drive as D drive...

P35 Neo2 BIOS Settings to run Dual Boot SATA and IDE HD's

Hi,
I was having intermittent problems with a Gigeabyte so upgraded M/B.
I have an IDE "caddy" with 2 Dual boot HD's (Linux Grub booting XP on sda1 and Fedora9 on sda2), and had no problems with either HD's on old M/B.
The old M/B also had SATA sockets which I installed a 250GB drive as my main setup. Dual boot again with same setup. I set the SATA to "auto" and it detected and ran when no IDE caddy was inserted.
Everything ran OK but I had very intermittent CRC failures that I could not isolate, so I upgrade 2 days ago.
Without inserting any IDE drives I can boot the SATA drive OK into Linux OK (it also detects an ext3 partition on a seperate /backup partition so the IDE interface works).
If I now try and boot the XP on my SATA drive, I get the dreaded blue screen.
I assume this is due to me having XP installed without the AHCI support as detailed in other (long) thread showing how to overcome this problem!?
I would also like to know if and I can just boot from my IDE drive (with no SATA's connected), because even though it seems to detect the PATA HD OK, I cannot get it to boot from either of them! I know these HD's have not changed as I have checked both of them on the SATA OS and both Logical volumes are still there and the relevant boot flags are both set.
Even though I have a bit of a complex setup, this may well be a very simple case of BIOS settings (sorry).
FYI:
I have a A7345 IMS V1.8 012408 BIOS and my two IDE drives are both dual boot with XP on the first partition.
Both Linux partitions are formatted using Logical Volume Management (LVM).
Thanks for your time
Any help/pointers would be appreciated as I am not absolutely sure that the M/B is functional or not.

Thanks for the info, I am now a bit clearer as to what is happening!
I removed known good IDE HD from caddie and put it directly on the IDE cable (after removing the old non LVM linux IDE disk that was on it).
The newly connected HD was initialized OK and I can see both SAT and IDE disks listed with F11.
On trying to boot from the IDE, it starts up and decompresses the image, BUT cannot seem to find the LVM Volume group 03 (which is where my /boot partition is located).
It then gives in and after a while, boots back to the SATA OK (where the bootloader is also inside the LVM so I can't see why the LVM IDE disk is a problem but the LVM SATA boots OK).
I do remember (late last night) trying with just IDE drive and of course it just hung because it did not have any alternative to boot!
Any other observations/suggestions?
Apologies its late here and I will not be back for a few hours!
Regards

Is Installing Optical Drive through SATA to PATA Adapter on K8MM-V Possible?

I bought this sata to pata interface with the JM20330 chip and it appears to be connected in the right way:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16822998008
I also bought a Pioneer 111D from newegg because I am having some issues with my Benq 1640.
I have an MSI K8MM-V motherboard which is based on Via K8M800-CE & VT8237R chipsets. My bios has sata enabled and I have its mode running in IDE mode rather than RAID mode. Can my setup handle optical devices on sata ports?
I was able to successfully flash the drive the drive's firmware with this setup.
The drive is recognized by Windows. It sees it as Pioneer DVR 111L SCSI CD-ROM Device.
I can not get it to burn media. It stops every few seconds and says something along the lines of I/O error. Is there anything I can post that can aid somebody in telling me what I am doing wrong or if there is something I can correct. Thank you. I don't really understand why I can flash the drive, but it has so many problems writing to media.
I am wanting to keep this drive on Sata if I can help it because it runs in UDMA4 since I wish to keep my Benq 1640 on the IDE channel which runs in UDMA 2 mode.
I am at work right now, so can't really get more detailed specs. I have posted this image on cdfreaks forum where I posed a similar question there since some people were attempting to use there drive this way by SATA connection. I believe that my Bios is either 1.8 or 1.9. I think there is a 1.A available. My MSI live Update said my Bios is up to date, but that also points me to older files than the ones already installed on my system from the website. I don't recall updating that in late June early July.
I couldn't find any info on the motherboard home page or through a forum search.
Thanks for any help that you can provide.

I have purchased a number of items, including drives, enclosures, and memory from Other World Computing (www.macsales.com) External hard disk enclosures are available include USB only, USB/SATA, USB/Firewire, and all 3, depending upon your needs.
In my opinion it is unlikely that a properly-functioning single hard drive designed for laptop use would exceed the available USB power capabilities of your MacBook when installed in an unpowered enclosure. I have powered external 3.5" drives (iomega and Seagate) for use with Time Machine, but I've had no problems running a single 2.5" laptop drive up to 500Gb in an unpowered USB external enclosure on either my mid 2007 MacBook 2,1 or my son's mid-2009 MacBook Pro unibody without any other unpowered USB devices installed.
Some vendors offer a 'bundle' containing an external enclosure, the proper Torx and Phillips screwdrivers, and a replacement hard drive of your choice.
Whether or not the 'bad' drive will mount depends on what is wrong with it. If it will not ever mount/boot while installed inside the MacBook, it's unlikely that it will work simply by transferring it to an external enclosure. There are advanced disk utility programs such as Tech Tool Pro that claim to help you diagnose and recover data from drives that do not mount. I have not used the program. MacUpdate (mupromo.com) currently includes TechToolPro in a spring bundle for about half the retail price of the program.

The NC6000 doesn't use a SATA hard drive, uses an IDE unit.

SATA and HD LED

Before I installed my SATA drive, my hard drive LED worked just fine with my PATA drive. Ever since I installed the SATA drive, the hard drive LED no longer works. Is this typical that it wouldn't work with the SATA and only with PATA drives?
I've check to make sure the connection didn't come lose and the connection is just fine.
Thanks

That used to be the case with my K7N2 Delta-ILSR but since switching to the K7N2 Delta2 Platinum the hard drive LED works fine with SATA.

MSI KT6 Delta LSR SATA to PATA High CPU Usage Problem

Well recently I've switch to my one of my other motherboards on my network to a MSI KT6 Delta LSR, it was working fine after a reformat, but I notice a few problems and that is 100% cpu usage for SATA to PATA, and vice versa, which seems really crazy. Then my network card performance is ISDN speed sluggish, and I tested my line to be working 100% with another mobo. But when I put another NIC on the same mobo it suffers the same speed problems.
Any suggestions? The rig is specs:
Barton 2500+

200GB Seagate SATA HDD
40GB Seagate PATA HDD
ATI Radeon 7500 AIW

I recently installed 160g Seagate barracuda 7200.7 drive on SATA port. (I enabled the Bios using Auto) I have a P4I865pea-6al mother board, with two PATA drives . When copying files between the PATA drives on ide ports, to or from, the SATA drive, I notice the CPU usage goes up to 100%, but when copying files from one ide drive (the PATA drives) to another the CPU usage is very low.
Is there a bios setting that will allow me to copy files from the SATA drive to the Pata drives using a small amount of CPU power, found when just copying between the Primary and Secondary IDE drives? I am using Adobe premiere pro, which uses a lot of CPU power, and the high CPU usage of the SATA drive crashes this program? Any help would be appreciated

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.
