SATA disk driver for K8N SLI

I need the Windows XP-64 bit version of the
G72-NVSA042 for nVidia C19+MCP04 SATA RAID Driver
Please, help me. I have bought a MSI K8N SLI mainboard (nVidia nForce 4 SLI chipset based) with an AMD athlon 64 3200 and a SATA hard drive but the mainboard did not bring the 64 bit driver for SATA!!. Only for XP/2000, etc.
¿¿where can I find it??

I believe this is what you need. http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_list.php?part=1&kind=4&CHIP=4&COM=4

SATA II Drive on K8N - SLI Mobo

Hello Folks,
Please can you give a few words of wisdom on the following topic:
I've recently upgraded to the K8N - SLI mobo with AMD 64 3200 CPU, 1GB ram and a Hitachi 250gb SATA II drive.
I booted from the WinXP disc, selected F6 to install additional raid drivers, accepted, and proceeded to install XP which works fine. The system boots ok but the BIOS (flashed using MS Live Update to version 2) shows the drive as 5th IDE master, and then WinXP "system, device manager" shows the drive as Primary ATA.
Is that right? It works but how do i know it has detected it up right?
I've disconnected my original 2 hard drives from IDE1 for simplicity, and the 2 optical drives load fine on the IDE2 cable. My RAID drivers come from the Nvidia site since i didn't get a diskette with the OEM drive.
Did i need to install the drivers from a floppy (i have an MSI CD)?
When asked for 2 separate drivers which should come first, the RAID driver or the STORAGE CONTROLLER?
Is everything normal? Should the drive be called SATA type somewhere?
Many thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply there Petrol. I thought the raid drivers were the name for the SATA drivers i.e. one and the same thing, so although I will not use RAID, I think i need still need the RAID/SATA driver?
I thought I had just cracked it- a short time after providing the extra 2 RAID drivers during the boot, WinXP asked me again for the RAID driver (which i read elsewhere was a good sign!).
It appeared to boot faster or was it just my imagination hoping for a result?Then once the WinXP desktop had come on, it appeared to load some more drivers.
Still when i look in "System....Device manager" the driver is from Windows from 2001 so can't be up to date?
Has it managed to write over the top of the newer SATA drivers during the final part of the install (if so how to turn it off?)?
thanks again

Floppy Disk Drive for Mavericks

Hello
Does anyone know of an FDD for a mavericks mac? I would like to create boot disks for an old mac. Is this a good method to consider? I am not sure how else to go about this. If there is an alternative, whatever it might be, please let me know.
I apologise for posting here but this relates to older machines in a way.
Thanks in advance.

The original system for a PowerBook 2400c/180 was 7.6.1. Other supported systems (according to Apple's technical specifications) were 8, 8.1, 8.5, 8.6 and 9. You would need to purchase an appropriate Apple system CD. Ensure that it is a retail disc (for all models), not a disc for a certain (other) machine.
You can use one of the Apple CD-ROM drives above, providing that you have the proper HDI-30 cable. See the manual for details about connecting SCSI devices and about booting from a CD.
If necessary, and if the already installed operating system is working (and you can navigate the Japanese menus), you should at least be able to create a Disk Tools PPC floppy on the PowerBook. Use the Disk Copy 6.3.3 program (the Make a Floppy command under the Utilities menu) for this. I assume that you have the external floppy disk drive for the PowerBook.

http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English -North_American/Macintosh/Utilities/Disk_Copy/Disk_Copy_6.3.3.smi.bin
One may also want to try to modify a Disk Tools PPC to hold CD-ROM software, thus allowing a CD to be read when the computer is running from the floppy disk system.
Additionally, since the computer in question has PC Card slots, an inexpensive PC Card adapter for CompactFlash and a CompactFlash memory card can be very useful for file transfers. In certain PowerBook models, such a CompactFlash card (reformatted to Mac) can even act as a startup disk (if it has an appropriate system folder).

I need a floppy disk drive for old 3 1/2" disks. I have a PowerBook G4 Mac with MacOS X 10.4 operating system. What will work for me?

I need a floppy disk drive for old 3 1/2" disks. I have a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4 operating system. What external drive will for for me?

Hi,
Providing that the old 3.5" floppies are 1.44 MB HD disks, you should be able to use a USB floppy drive.
However, if the disks are 2DD/DSDD in the 800K Mac format a USB drive is not going to work. In this case you would need a suitable semi-old Macintosh computer with a built-in floppy drive as an intermediary.

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.

Largest SATA drive for K8N Neo4 Platinum

I have a system based on the K8N Neo4 Platinum board, I'm planning to up, the storage capacity of my rig and was wondering if I can install a 500 GB or larger SATA or SATA II drive on it?
to make long story short I would like to know whats the largest Hard Drive (either IDE or SATA) one can install on a system with this board without problems or compatibility issues.
I presently have a Maxtor Diamond Plus 80GB SATA drive,
Any takers??? ???

I see no problems, just try it.
As for a Sata-II drive, don't take Maxtor, any other drive should be fine.
However, you maybe must jumper it to SATA-1, depends on the onboard controller.

K8n neo2-fx Doesn't come with a floppy sata raid driver for XP 64-bit edition

I've been waiting for so long but without any luck.Why don't msi support it although
i can see driver for realtek 64 bit edition and nforce x64?
I'll be waiting for news.Thanks to anyone who will try to help me...

download thease drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_udp_winxp64_6.25.html
then look here dude:

and use the same procedure to extract RAID drivers for XP64 and copy to diskette.

Luns on outside half of disk drives for higher performance

Hi,
I undrestand that luns created on outside half od disks drivers can produce better performance.
in my case we have NAS,connection type iscsi, 5x 1TB disks. and RAID5.
the question is if I create x 1TB or x200GB luns, in term of performance of luns, how much discrepancies should i expect? would you say more or less than 5%? comparing the slowest lun to fastest one in each senario .

This caught my eye <http://www.barefeats.com/hard100.html>
but then read they haven't incorporated a 64-bit EFI driver for 2008 MacPro's to boot from externals and isn't port multiplier aware.
This seems to be SATA only, not SAS. Click on "E8 ML" in:
<http://www.hptmac.com/US/product.php?_index=43&viewtype=enclosure&company=Enhan ce%20Tech#>
None of the boards you list have batteries, so if you use caching for RAID 5 or 6, you will need a UPS to avoid data loss if power fails. Without caching, writing will be very slow.
Port multiplies limit the data rate, so wouldn't be used for the highest performance systems.

Need SATA RAID driver for RS480M2-IL(ms-7093) to install XP

Greetings,
I have lost my floppy to install the driver for my SATA RAID and can't seem to find the right one anywhere on the web.
It's an ATI SB400 chipset that has a SIL 3112a RAID controller.
The driver doesn't appear to be on the support page: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=214
If anyone can point me in the right direction, you'd be my hero.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Well, I found the correct driver, I think. It was in the ATI System driver package, on this page: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=driverfile&dno=2427&i=1
However, I still can't get XP to recognize my drive by pressing F6 at install. Perhaps I'm not using the right files from this package (287MB!). I found what I thought might be the correct drivers in the following folder: ATIDrv/SBDrv/RAID4xx and copied all the files to a floppy. Windows sees this driver and loads it, but when it gets to the point of formatting a drive (or whatever the next step is after you hit F^ and load the driver), it says no HD found, hit F3 to restart (sure would be nice to have other options here, like load another driver).
So, here's more info about my system (read the posting guidelines since last time
mobo: RS480M2-IL BIOS 7093v39
PS:Thermaltake TR2-430NP
RAM: G.Skill PC3200 1GBx2
HD1:Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 160GB
HD2:Maxtor Diamondmax20 160GB
Problem started when co-worker shut the machine off hard. On reboot, Invalid System Disk error and looking at RAID Bios shows drives in SYNC state. Removed the drives and attached to another machine, one looks fine so I clone it for good measure. The other is corrupted, XP wants to format as soon as it's mounted. Checking it with Filescavenger3 shows the files are still there, but I just reformat it since I have the good image of the other disk. Now I'm trying to fix the other drive, since it still comes up as Invalid System Disk, so I want to try either using the Recovery Console to FixMBR, or do a repair install of XP. I can't find the right driver to make this happen. I do have a disk with LastXPv2.11 that will recognize the drive, but it doesn't allow me to get into the recovery console or offer to repair xp. If you know how to extract the drivers from a slipstreamed disc, that might work too. Finally, I don't know if I've update the RAID bios, or if that happens when you update the mobo bios. I did update that to v39 and the RAID BIOS shows 4.2.50.
Sorry this is so long, any ideas to help get me going here would be fantastic
Cheers,
Jeff

I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives. I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC. Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files. An help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC. I do not share the drive with a PC. The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use. I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC. I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them. The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC. I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.

Can i get an external disk drive for my MacBook 5,1

My disk drive on my MacBook 5,1 (model #A1278) is bust. It will not accept a dvd/cd at all, it won't let it in...not an inch! seems like it's stuck in eject? as if there is a disk inside but as far as i know there is not. Nothing i have tried makes any difference. So i am wondering if i can buy an external disk drive, but this info is not obvious to me on the Apple Store website!

Probably pretty much any one would as long as it can be connected to your Macbook with USB or Firewire or what it has. Read the fine print when it refers to system requirements. In most cases that refers to bundled software which you probably don't need. Usually if there's OS limits for Macs it's something like you must be running OSX 10.2 or newer.
I would start looking on a site such as www.mac-sales.com which caters for Mac users so you can be assured their stuff is compatible. You can get something pre-assembled or you can buy an enclosure and a drive separately and assemble them yourself. My preference would be for one where the drive is powered independently, though that does tie you down to an outlet. On the other hand with an external drive you're not going to be walking around the room.
I guess one Mac compatibiltiy issue would be if the drive is bootable. Not all third party drives can boot your Mac should the need arise. I'm not so familiar with Macbooks that I am up to date on this and this might be one thing you could ask the vendor (and a reason for going with a vendor who knows Macs).

Best use of disk drives for data transfer

I have three different data "disk" drives on my system and I timed transferring 13 GB of data between. The drives are a standard 7500 RPM disk, a pair of 7500 RPM disks in RAID 0, and a solid state flash drive. The times in minutes and and seconds were as follows:
To:| Standard | RAID 0 | Flash
From: | | |
Standard | 6:39 | 2:43 | 3:22
RAID 0 | 2:46 | 4:41 | 3:33
Flash | 2:41 | 1:51 | 16:58
The first thing to notice is that if the source and destination drives are the same then times are much longer. The Flash drive was particularly bad.
The best time was from Flash to RAID 0, but in the reverse direction the time was poorer than a standard disk, suggesting that the flash has a fast read but a slow write.
Conclusion: for disk bound operations, such as transferring DV AVI files with little or no processing use different drives if practicable. In other words, set the scratch files drive to be other than the drive with the source files on it. If possible, put your source files on a flash drive and your scratch files on a RAID 0 drive.
Edit: Sorry for the poor table layout. Two or more consecutive spaces get converted into a single space for some reason.

You can use the error-cluster to detect the end of your queue. The erroroutput of the shared variable will return a -2220 Warning, if it reads a value it has read already before. I attached a modified example and saved it for 8.2 I hope you can open it.
