SATA HD problem w/ XP PRO on K7N2G-ILSR

I just got the above board with a a 2600+ cpu and 2x Hynix 256mb 333 DDR memory.
For storage I have an NEC-1300a DVD-R and a Seagate 120gb SATA drive. No PATA drives attached...
I attached the DVD to the IDE-1 port, and it boots the winXP CD fine.
I attached the SATA drive to the SATA-1 port, and setup the drive a a single stripe drive.
So far so good.
When I boot win XP, (F6, of course) and insert the included floppy with the promise drivers, XP regonises the RAID controller, but shows me the "Drive" as unusable. If I select "Partition", I get a blue-screen.
HELP!!!!
Thanks....

hi
bad memory can show itself in a number of different ways.
i tried to tight the timings up it resulted in a non working network.
change it back and the network worked again.
if you can get your hands of some nforce2 approved memory then test it.
if not test with any memory you can get.
are you sure you configured the harddrive correct?
go thru bios and check all settings.
try remove the dvd and get a cd instead.
dvd can also give a some errors.
have you tried to connect the dvd to another ide channel?
good luck

Sometimes cannot start PC: problem with Hitachi SATA Hard drive and K7N2G-ILSR

I have major problem with my 160Gb SATA Hitachi hard drive and my MSI K7N2G-ILSR motherboard. Sometimes the PC can be started, sometimes it cannot.
After I installed a clean build of Windows XP Pro SP1 onto my new hard drive (as the only hard drive in my PC) and install all the necessary drivers, the system runs smoothly. However, after about 2 to 3 weeks, sometimes when I start the PC, it cannot detect the hard drive and hence it claimes that it cannot find any VMI Pool Data (i.e. no OS detected). What makes it really horrible is that, it is like the lottery everytime when I start the PC. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The highest record was 8 consecutive failures (by resetting or by turning the power off and on again) before I can start the machine properly. Also, the system sometimes just crashes in the middle of operating.
I have already sent the hard drive back to Hitachi. Got the same model of hard drive back as replacement, but the replacement has the same problem, except with the replacement drive the PC can be started eventually after many tries, while with the previous drive it is possible that the PC cannot be started until after a few days later.
Also, it seems that my drive can detect either SATA hard drive or PATA hard drive, but not both. (If I leave my old PATA drive connect in the primary IDE channel, Windows cannot detect the new SATA drive.)
Is my motherboard faulty? Can it only use PATA drive?
My PC's spec is as follows:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
512Mb PC3200 SDRAM (set to run at 166MHz)
Hitachi 160Gb SATA Hard drive on 1st SATA channel (Model #HDS722516VLSA80)
Sony DVD+-RW drive and Panasonic DVD-ROM drive on secondary IDE channel
Use onboard video (GeForce MX)
US Robotech V92 internal PCI modem
SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Player soundcard
Onboard audio disabled
300W PSU
OS is Windows XP Pro SP1 (with all latest security patches up to date)

that is not entirly correct.
many harddrives just come with different ways to connect them.
the only sata drives i now that spins faster is western digital raptors 10k rpm.
all other is running at 7200rpm.
older drives run at 5400rpm
Yes to get the full benefit of RAID, the Raptors are the way to go.Anything else, no significant difference.

K7N2G-ILSR overclocking problems

I am experiencing some strange problems. First my system:
K7N2G-ILSR using onboard video
Athlon XP 1700+ Thoroughbred A, factory unlocked
2x512MB Corsair XMS PC2700CL2 memory
Debian Linux, 2.4.21-pre4-ac6 kernel
350W Enermax PSU
173MHz FSB, 10x multiplyer, 1733MHz CPU 1:1 FSB/CPU
1.65V CPU Voltage
1.2 BIOS
This system works rock stable, no crashes, no problems when it is running. But if I turn the power off, it no longer posts, if I remember correctly, the bottom two leds are on. It does not beep, no video nothing.
There is a procedure I can always use to bring the system back up, but it is a bit tedious:
1. Set the safe mode jumber
2. power on, the machine starts non-stop high/low beeps, no video
3. Press reset: the board boots up, go to BIOS setup, set the FSB to 133MHz and save
4. power off, reset the safe mode jumper
5. Power on, again the machine starts with high/low beeps
6. Reset: the machine comes up, enter the BIOS, set FSB back to 173MHz
7. Reboot, enjoy!
It always works, but it is a hassle. Not too bad, since the machine is on 24/7 so I only have to do this is there is a power outage of when I change some hardware, but it is very inconvinient.
The other strange thing is that I cannot set the DDR voltage to 2.7V. I can select it in the BIOS, save it, but after reboot it is back to 2.6V

I have tried that, removed my HD and my TV Tuner card, but it did not help. But I have discovered something new: if I turn off the machine only using the ATX power switch and do not turn off the PSU switch, the board comes back on fine. I also have a simplified procedure to revive the board after a power off:
1. Set the safe mode jumper
2. Power on, wait for high/low beeps
3. Reset and wait for POST
4. Turn off using the ATX Power switch
5. Reset the safe mode jumper while the main PSU power is still on
6. Turn on and boot
Note that I did not have to tweak the BIOS as before.
Also did anyone else had trouble setting the DDR voltage to 2.7V? I can set it in the BIOS, but it is back to 2.6V after reboot.

Problems with detecting SATA hdd's with K7N2G-ILSR mainboard

The K7N2G-ILSR has built in Promise PDC20376 Raid Controller, and I have bought a Promise 4-Channels SATA II Controller PCI card.
The problem is if I mount disks to my new SATA PCI controller my mainboard SATA controller hangs...
Is there a way to use booth SATA controllers at the same time ore disable the built in SATA controller?
Got one SATA2 DVD-writer and 3 SATA disks.
regards

There is no option to disable the built-in SATA controller in bios.
Have tried moving the PCI-card to another slot, but don't help.
How my PC boots:
1. nVidia Graphic card bootscreen
2. Normal bootscreen (Memory check, IDE check, ...)
3. Promise 4-Channels SATA II Controller PCI card (finds harddisks if connected.)
4. built in Promise PDC20376 Raid Controller (My computer freeze if harddisks are connected to the above SATA2 controller, but keeps booting if they are connected to this controller istead.)
5. WinXP MCE (if my PC don't freeze on step 4.)
Found some info about modding/adjust the bioses on this page, http://www.dstyles.de/bios/
Mabe there is a solution there, to add more options to the bios or enable disabled options.

Raid problems with K7N2G ILSR

I have the following setup and problem:
K7N2G ILSR
NEC DVD-+RW 1300A
Seagate SATA 120gb HD
350W PSU with "210" 3.3 + 5.0
BIOS V 1.4
2 x Hynix 256mb DDR 333
I was able to setup the SATA drive as a single RAID drive and install XP pro.
Now, 9/10 times, the system will not boot. I receive a
"No drive attached to fasttrak controller"
message.
When the system DOES boot, it works great, and I can leave in on for days with NO problems.
I know the Hynix memory is not "approved", but since the system is stable (when it does boot), and assume its not a memory problem.
The problem still occurs even after:
I changes the SATA cable (data and power)
I changed the DVD cable and slot (1-3)
I even disconneced the DVD and / or Floppy.
No change
Help!!!!!

I have already tried two different types of Ram. 512 MB DDR 333 (I don't know the timing exactly but it's a CL2.5 Ram) and another one from a different manufacturer. Also DDR 333 CL 2.5. Then I combined both. But the raid controller didn't show any reaction and I can't imagine that the problem is the power supply because everything else works fine. Anyway... I will try to get a new K7NG2-ILSR on guarantee, sell my whole computer and buy the new K7N2-Delta because I have only problems with the K7N2G-ILSR.

USB 2.0 problem (K7N2G-ILSR and HP PSC 2210)

I'm using a K7N2G-ILSR mainboard in combination with a HP PSC 2210 all-in-one printer. The printer sometimes stops printing and produces an error. The print can not be deleted and I have to reset the computer.
I'm using the latest HP drivers for the printer, Windows XP Pro with all Windows Update fixes and the latest upgrades for teh mainboard (Live-Update).
Is this a known error and is there a fix/workaround (can I set the USB in the BIOS to 1.1 only (instead of 1.1 and 2.0)??
According to HP it is related to the chipset and the USB driver. Until now I have not find a document explaining the problem for this mainboard and a proper solution.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks for your help!
Cees

Cables are cables still at this point in the game so it could be that you have a faulty cable but there are no special 2.0 cables to buy...
Never been a big fan of the All-in-one printer/scanner/copiers, I've had nothing but problems most of the time when my clients buy them...but they still buy them...if you think about it they really only came out just over a year and a half ago so that technology isn't quite mature yet...
I doubt that it has anything to do with your setup directly, it sounds like a driver issue and one that's clashing with another driver that's used for something else in your machine...no I don't know what cause I don't know what you are using in your system heheheh
I had a client that bought one of the newer photo printers, why I don't know cause he doesn't even own a digital camera, but he just had to have one, but anyway, it would error out everytime he tried to print to it...I reloaded his system and systematically added in one component at a time...writing down everything I did...when I put in his ATI All-In-Wonder card and loaded the software for the TV part lo and behold when I printed I got the error again...couldn't fix it for my life either with all the newest drivers from ATI and HP...went backwards in time for older drivers to no avail...the guy stiffed me on the bill for over $1000.00 and I've not heard from him again so I can't tell you if he fixed it or not at this point...

Problem with K7T266 pro, usb not working corectly!

Have a problem here.
My MOMO racing wheel (USB) stops responding while playing games, but the wheel works fine on my friends comp. When i start a geme, i can play it for 30-60mins, and then it just stops responding, the lights on the wheel dont glow and it seems disconnected, my only help then is to restart my comp.
And my specs are:
MSI K7T266 pro
AMD athlon 1,4Ghz
Win98SE
I use the usb ports, that are in my mainboard.
Please answer if you know about the problem, or if you have expirianced something like that.

After killing my K7N2G-ILSR, ive had to revert to my backup K7T266 ProR system. While playing UT2K3 I had those freaking random disconnects of the USB which would kill the FPS and get me fragged, after which time it would happily reconnect and work fine. My optical mouse would also disconnect like that.
I am running XP Home, VIA 4.43. I set the BIOS to read only USB1 (which didnt work). Then I installed the VIA USB filter RC-1 and havent had a disconnect problem for over 24 hours now. Get the usb filter from MSI website and good luck!

Can I config. a SSD with two SATA drives on a RAID pro card?

Hello,
I'm planning to order the new Mac Pro (hexa 3.33) and want to run OS X and my main applications off of it for speed. I was planning to get two SATA drives and connect them with a RAID pro card. Is this set up compatible (i.e. running an SSD with a RAID pro card installed in the system)?
The reason why I'm asking is that on the APPLE build your MAC site there is a note about the RAID pro card:
"Note: Solid-state drives are not compatible with the Mac Pro RAID Card in either RAID or Enhanced JBOD mode. To add a solid-state drive to your Mac Pro in any drive bay, you must deselect the Mac Pro RAID Card."
Thanks for your help guys (and gals)

Thanks. I have the Apple RAID card in my Early 2008 Mac Pro and it's served me reasonably well. I use it for RAID-5 and I don't care about booting Windows so that's not an issue for me (though I confess that I hadn't even considered the implications for Windows).
I bought the system with one Apple drive (a 1TB Hitachi) and added three additional Seagate 1TB drives and have had no problems beyond the need to replace a failed drive, and in that case the array was rebuilt and the system is behaving well again.
Ah, so you're talking about third-party SATA controllers that go in a PCI Express slot, to which one would connect a third-party RAID enclosure via eSATA, is that correct?
Concerning the additional SATA ports on the Mac Pro motherboard: I don't know about the just-announced models, but MacSales was/is selling a SATA cable for the prior model--apparently that model has one additional SATA port (not two) on the motherboard.
By the way: I had a question in another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2545031) about whether it's possible to upgrade my Apple-card-managed RAID-5 array in place. If you (or anyone else with expertise) could take a quick look, I'd appreciate it.

K7N2G-ILSR / RAM Problem

Hello,
I’m hoping some one can help me with a problem I have on a recently purchased MSI K7N2G-ILSR motherboard. During certain games and other OS operations I am receiving General Protection Faults and being ‘bombed’ to the desktop or sometimes BSOD's. My current specifications are as follows:
AMD Athlon XP 2600
MSI K7N2G-ILSR
3 HD’s 2 onboard IDE and one on the RAID (80GB maxtor,40 GB Western Dig and 120GB Seagate)
1GB RAM (1x512 PC2700 Seitec & 1x512 Hynex PC 2700)
Radeon 9600 PRO (Gigabyte)
It appears that the problem I have is memory related running the 2 modules in slots 1 & 3 Dual Rate causes the above problems. I have also tried both modules in slots 1 & 2 (single rate) and the same problems persist. Removing the module from slot3 (i.e. running on 1 x 512 modules in slot 1) and I have no re-occurrence of these issues
Please can you let me know if these modules are supported on your motherboard and if there are any recommended BIOS settings for best performance / stability?
I am seriously considering purchasing some PC2700 Crucial Ram (DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • Unbuffered • Non-parity • 6ns • 2.5V • 64Meg x 64 ) to try and sort my problems only I have read mixed reports on forums regarding MSI mobo's and crucial RAM. ?(
Hope some one can help.
Kind Rgds,
icarus

If my problem persists after this I will be truly gutted, also I believe running your RAM in slots 2 & 3 isn't utilising the 128 bit dual ddr functions of the board afaik.
Surely some one out there is running 2 x 512MB pc2700 in slots 1 & 3 WITHOUT any problems ?!?!?
Hi,
Slots 1&3 or 2&3 both operate in dual channel, it's 1&2 that don't. Yes I am running 2X512 pc2700 in slots 1&3 without any problems, but it's Mushkin RAM.

FIXED the problem but its not something i would recommend for someone who isn't very carefull about this. The problem is a "timming issue" to fix the problem Cut 2 of the 42 pin wires be VERY CAREFULL PLEASE!!!!! u cut the red one and the one wire next to it.. Make sure you DON'T short it. Plug the sucker back in and Walla it works.. now for thows who dont want to do this and have all the time in the world WD customer support will send you the wire if call them up that has the 2 leads already Cut.

Hope this helps and please if you don't feel up to it don't do it! trust me is scary just thinking i could burn up my mobo ...

K7N2G-ILSR raid boot problem

Hi,
I have an msi K7N2G-ILSR mobo and am having boot problems on the raid system.
Everything worked fine (raid 0 set up sata) and would boot fine, the bios had to be set up to look for other boot devices in order for the system to boot with raid drives.
Problem occurred when I added an ide card to give me 2 more ide channels. Still fine if I only connect cd roms to new card but as soon as I connect a hard drive it appears the msi board stops looking for the raid drives as a boot device, because I get the message NIVIDIA Boot Agen PXE-2.0(build 082 v1.82)
Copyright......................(info)
Copyright......................(info)
CLIENT MAC ADDR 00 10 DC E1 4C AD GUID:
FFFFFFFFFF..-FFF..-FFFFFF... etc.
PXE-53: No boot filename received.
PXE-MOF: Exiting NVIDIA Boot Agent
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
It seams there needs to be a bios update as when you scroll through boot options (first, second & third) in advanced setup there is no choice for raid. Therefore the only way to boot from raid is to choose “look for other boot devices” and that is OK until you add a second ide card with hard drive on.
I have version 1.6 bios (latest on msi`s site)
Any idears on how to get round this ?

Hi Raven,
For your info windows xp will support any number of ide channels (upto the number of spare pci slots you have).
I have another computer that has 2 extra ide cards in and has 2 dvd`s (on seprate channels) & 6 hard drives as well as raid hard drive set up. Windows is not confused and supports all devices and has done for the last few months ! This mobo has boot from raid in its bios so has no problems on boot up. The reason I need so many ide channels is simply I do video work and need loads of storage space so until I can buy 800gb hard drives for a reasnable price I am stuck with having to buy 200gb drives.
As I said it looks like either a bios update from msi or I`m going to have to buy a new mobo.
Regards.

K7N2G-ILSR MS-6570 Restart Problems!

K7N2G-ILSR MS-6570 Restart Problems!
Has anybody else had a problem like this . . .
Ive got this problem with two machines now!!!!
Say for example you boot your machine and go into the bios to change whatever. Then save and exit. It should reboot and carry on to go into windows (or whatever). BUT . . . both of my machines restart and then just sit there and give a long beep which then repeats.
If I turn the machine off completely then back on it starts up ok with any changes to the bios kept from last time.
Can anybody help?!?!??! ;(
I have updated to the latest bios (which is 7.2)

I now have the MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR (601-6570-030).;
On the box:- NVIDIA nForce 2 Ultra 400 Chipset Based.
K7,nFORCE2 Ultra400/SPP,MCP2-T,FSB400,D-Bracket2,Round cable,2*SATA&power cables,1394 cable,S-Bracket,WinDVD4.
I have 2x256 PC3200 Corsair DDR and a XP2800 Barton, tried and tested at 240fsb(237fsb Totally stable), And I get the same thing happening to me..Also this board and the last one will NOT do the claimed 400fsb..
And dont say it's the ram because it's not, the ram and CPU are fine.... It's the Motherboard that is incompatable with the Ram & CPU
why because my Ram is Corsair(the name speaks for itself) and works in every system to date!.. The CPU is AMD also works in every system to date!
Soon as i get around 193+(fsb) it starts to do the same thing wont reboot, and does the beep thing! at 200x7 200x7.5 200x8 200x8.5 200x9 200x9.5 200x10 200x10.5 200x11 200x11.5= NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING but BEEP ......BEEP.......BEEP.
I also bought a brand new Antec TRUEPower550Watt with front voltage control (£100+) and that still does,nt do it
this is my second board, and im totaly fed up with there crap board. I spent good money for this TOP Class Ram and dont expect to be told the Rams wrong when it works in every other system i have had my hands on!!!!!!!
MY advice is send it back and get an other and if thats no use send it back again and get a refund and buy an ABIT NF7-S.. with exactly the same components i get a fsb of anything(100) upto 240fsb abit..
SIG is old board

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB RAM installed. The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.
Ciao.
