Sata/Ide Conflict In Bios

Hi all;
I'm a noob and doing this at work so bear with me a moment.  I have a new computer with a MSI-7103 mobo, with award bios 6.0P I believe.  I'm adding an IDE drive from the old computer as a second drive.  The 80gb sata drive is on the sata 1 pin on the mobo.  IDE1 has a cdrom drive master and DVD drive slave with nothing on IDE2.  I put the old drive on IDE2 and left the jumper on CS.
In short it won't boot after POST.  No matter what I do it detects the IDE drive before the sata drive and just sit's there.  I reformatted the IDE drive before install so there is no operating system or anything else on the drive.  Without the IDE drive connected it boots normally into winxp Pro.  I can plug the ide drive in with windows running, scan for new hardware and it finds the IDE drive and works well...It's just that I can't boot with the IDE drive installed.
In bios, the boot sequence is FD1, IDE0, CDROM...I don't see any option for the sata drive.  Is the sata drive considered as being IDE0??  I also tried disabling the IDE2 in bios hoping that it would boot and the operating system would then find the drive.  It boots into XP but no dice on the OS finding the drive in that case. 
IF it's a jumper issue on the IDE drive...since it's on CS now should I try putting it to master or slave and trying it again??  I have done some searching on the net and it appears that this is sort of a common problem with IDE/Sata conflicts but there doesn't seem to be any one answer.  Any pointers would be very appreciated.   
Also, a seperate problem but I'll tack this on here.  I have a devil of a time of getting into bios.  Sometimes I will have to try booting 10 times or more before the mobo will see the delete key and let me in bios.  I have tried switching keyboards so I know that's not it.  It will just post and then show the bios info, ect and when I hit delete the screen will just die and it will sit there.  Any ideas on that one??  Thanks for bearing with me and yes I am also busy using the search function of the forum.  Thanks much!!!!   

....Ah life is never quite that simple is it??  Puters aren't either.    It's still not working.  I DL samsungs manual for the drive (sv6003H) just to make sure that I was setting the jumpers right and I was.  I set up the drive as the master in IDE 2.  The computer posts, detects the ide devices being the optical drives on IDE1 and correctly identifies the samsung drive in IDE2 and then just hangs at that point.  It never progresses past that state to see and try to boot from the sata drive. 
My bios string is -sis-661fx-6a714m4JC-00 on the bottom of the screen and the standard string at the top of the screen is V7103SMS V7.1091505  Seems to me like it's got to be something bios related.  I did see from the live update that their is an updated bios for the machine but the update seems to just address a faulty temperature report for the cpu sensor.  For kicks and giggles I tried to reflash the bios using the windows option but it said it was unable to open a file so I just chickened out and stopped.  It's not worth a dead machine.
FWIW the samsung manual says that older bios might cause the computer to hang (which is what is happening) if there is no support for a hd above 32gb and there are special jumper settings in that case.  However the hd is from a 2003 compaq and the bios in this machine is 2005 so I can't believe that is the issue.  I did try the jumper settings both ways but no dice.  Any other ideas??  I can always plug the drive back in after windows has booted and then use it but there's got to be a way to get past the drive so windows boots normally off the sata drive.

  • K9A2Gm V2 under W2k - SATA/IDE issues

    I am having trouble to get W2k running on the K9A2 GM V2 board (I would need that for sw-compatibility issues).
    I got it installed and running by enabling IDE emulation. Problem is that the drive gives me 1.5 Mbit/s transfer rate. On another PC with SB600 in RAID-1 configuration same drives gives me 80MB/sec. I used the MSI F-6 x86 drivers that came with the mobo (ATIDrv/SBDrv/IDEATA133). BIOS tells me that the drive has UDMA-6 enabled. The driver is fine in the device manager and shows up as AMD PCI SATA/IDE Bus Driver. Version is 5.1.0.8.
    -> Did anyone succeed to run W2K with acceptable disk performance?
    I also tried a SATA/RAID setup (using a single drive RAID READY configuration). After the F6 drivers were loaded I got a message that the AHCI drive file is corrupted. I tried several drivers and floppy disks. I also changed the floppy drive with no other effect.
    A bit confused I noted a bunch of other drivers on the MSI CD as JMicron, Promise and Silicon_image. I thought the drives work though the SB700 and thus only AMD drivers would make sense. Is that a misunderstanding?
    I am running out of ideas. Any experiences or comments?
    Thanks,
    tiger
    My system specs are:

        1x 500GB SATA HDD Hitachi HDP725050GLA360
        1x DVD Rom on IDE Primary Master

        BIOS A7302 AMS V2.1 021109
    I also observed: in Device Manager mit DVD is listed with UDMA mode. The HDD however is not. The fields look like that:
      - type: "automatic detection" but its grayed out
      - mode "Use DMA if available"
      - actual mode "not accessible", or "not available" (its a translation, I dunno what the EN version displays)
    That must be the reason that the thing is so slow, but why does it not use the UDMA mode?

    What PIO bug?
    There used to be a problem with Win2K, but that has nothing to do with the controller used, this was Win2K going wrong and that was fixed in SP1 or 2, forgot the exact one.
    There fix should be in included in SP3 or SP4 (which i use). I saw couple of Microsoft posts how to deal with that. However, I found many postings in the web with the problem and very often the Microsoft fixed did not work too. I have been trying workarounds for a couple of days now. For some guys another driver did the job (e.g. some "SATA" driver, but I did not find a case with a SB700 chipset.) 
    Quote from: Bas on 03-January-10, 23:20:21
    However, when putting the controller in RAID is doesn't use the normal IDE way but it uses SCSI (mini-port) way.
    There are no drivers for Win2K, so use IDE mode or XP, btw AHCI in XP is fairly unstable too but that's an XP problem.
    But you only have 1 drive, so why bother with RAID or ACHI? IDE-mode is faster anyway.
    I agree. RAID/AHCI would have been a workaround for the slow IDE only.
    Quote from: Bas on 03-January-10, 23:20:21
    Set the controller in IDE mode and use the Microsoft drivers! as there are no specific Win2k drivers.
    The slow IDE mode is the initial problem I described in the first post. With the MS drivers I could not get the HDD out of PIO mode. On the MSI driver disk I found specific AMD SB700 drivers for "SATA Controller (Native IDE mode)". The driver was 5.1.0.8 and is designated WinXP32, but usually the XP drivers work fine for W2K. I tried those as well as the standard MS drivers, but I could not get my HDD out of PIO mode.

  • Sata & IDE Hard drive question

    OK im running an Neo4 Platinum SLI MB and i have 2 Western Digital Raptors hooked up in raid 0 array and everything works fine, Now when i try to hook up my old IDE Maxtor Dimondmax 250gb Hard drive it wont be detected in windows.  Do the jumpers need to be changed on all the drives? Am i missing a setting in the bios I tried changing the maxtors jumpers to slave or master and either way made no differance.
    In the bios/Nvidia raid config area i had the IDE secondary master and IDE secondary slave options disabled, If i enabled them the detecting array at start up shows my raid hard drives as well as my DVD-rom and burner.
    mesa confused

    When i installed the 2 sata drives i unpluged my Maxtor so it was never detected..
    The Bios Boot order:
    1st boot priority: DISABLED
    2nd boot priority: DISABLED
    3rd boot priority: HARD DRIVE
    Boot From other device: ENABLED
    Hard Disc Boot Priority:
    1. SCSI-0   :   NVIDIA STRIPE 138.49G
    2. Bootable Add in cards
    Thats It as soon as i shut down the computer and reconnect my maxtor it hangs at the boot IDE detect screen,  i cant even get into Bios.
    Only other stuff i can say is that Under the Integrated Peripherals I have the following setup:
    OnBoard SiI3132 RAID: Disabled
    OnBoard SiI3132 MODE: Raid (Can be raid or sata

  • HT4413 Migrating files from old mac using Sata ide adapter

    Im trying to migrate files from my old mac hard drive (old mac isnt working- just hooked up hard drive to sata ide adapter) --- when I go to Migration Assistant, "select your disk" it just keeps thinking, it doesnt pull anything up.  When just plugging in the sata adapter, it doesnt come up automatically to run either.  I have used this adapter before with this old harddrive, so I know it works (I had help the last time)....I just cant figure it out this time.  Please help

    You cannot use Migration Assistant.  When you connect the old HDD, does it appear on the desktop of the MBP.  If it does, you will have to transfer the files manually.
    If not, does it appear in Disk Utility?  Post a screen shot such as this:

  • Sata settings by flashing bios

    Our company sets up bios settings by flashing preconfigured bios image.
    However with MS-7181 ver 2.0 boards the onchip sata controller setting does not get set.
    I have tried with 2 different bios flash utilities, CMOSsave/CMOSrest and MSI:s awfl859g.
    Bios image is read ok and written ok, but does not affect the "onchip sata controller" setting.
    Other bios settings gets set as saved in image file.
    So how do I disable sata controller without entering bios and disabling it by hand?

    Quote from: tazpa on 26-June-07, 13:32:12
    Why don't you try and set it several times each day (on different machines)
    Well at least that setting doesn't get reset when bios is flashed.
    Oh and forgot to mention that awfl859g demanded switch /f to function, otherwise it would say that bios is write-protected (no jumper or bios setting to disable).
    "Well at least that setting doesn't get reset when bios is flashed."
    Clear CMOS via mainboard jumper.
    "Why don't you try and set it several times each day (on different machines) "
    it will take several seconds..

  • New SATA drive showing as IDE drive in Bios

    Just wanted to hear from some of you guys...not sure if this is right but seems weird for the bios to say my SATA drive is IDE..when its going through bios or if your selecting which drive to boot to first its listed as an IDE drive..could someone please tell me if this is correct...

    This is correct.

    is it true that i cant use my 2x512mb PC3200 in dual mode because they are from Elixer ?

    First strip your set up back to a CD and the SATA drive also if have a Zip unplug it.
    Creat an array using the Ctrl f keys when the screen flashes during boot up it is the secound screen during boot. Sense you only have 1 Sata drive leave it's jumpers the way they or set by manufactor. If you have changed them set them to cable select.
    Creat a Raid O with only the one drive.
    when done say yes  when computer starts to install drivers the first screen will ask if you have a SCSI hit F6 key do so.
    When it is done loading the drivers it will ask if you have any disk drivers to load click S do so it will ask for SATA 3.5 disk put it in and click yes. This only install it in memory and will need it again when done installing OS. Don't use the SATA drivers that come on the OS disk they or for a PCI conltroler.
    Now go on and install your OS if you want it on this drive.
    After doen installing OS and during first Boot go into Bios and set Bios to boot Floppy first CD secound and than SCSI. IF you installed OS on the SATA drive you must have SCSI in boot order to work.
    Finish loading programs and than hook up your other drives on your IDE one as master the other as slave.

  • P965 Platimium Correct SATA/IDE Bios Settings

    Hi I have finshed building my sons computer and loaded Windows xp Pro twice (first time I didn't load the intel raid drivers so the SATA drive wasn't recognised except in IDE mode).
    I have run Sandra to get details of the drives etc and check the windows manager to see what drivers are being used for the hard drive and DVDRW drive
    The Samsung drive is using the Intel Raid drivers (checked via device manager) and is reported as being in UDMA 6 (although UDMA 7 is supported reported via Sandra). Speed tests of the hard drive seem to match the standard SATA 300 drive held in Sandra data base.
    The DVD is using the standard windows IDE drives in single and dual mode. It is not using the Intel drivers.
    I tried fiddling with the BIOS trying different settings in the integrated peripherals menu and here are the results for the different sub menus:
    1. On board raid controller
    Setting to IDE : I get the DVD RW Recognised as a IDE device and burning capabilities (windows uses the standard IDE drivers not Intel or jmicro)
    Setting to RAID:  windows recognises the DVD RW as a SCSI device but I don't seem to get any burning facilities with the device (windows uses the jmicro SCSI driver)
    2. On chip ATA devices
    2.1 IDE master enabled  : DVD RW works OK including burning capabilities
    IDE master disabled :  DVD RW works OK but cant burn a disk
    2.2 Setting SATA#1  to ACHI rather than raid Windows hangs (blue screen) during boot up
    Setting  SARA#1 to RAID windows boots OK and hard drive recognised as ATA drive
    (2.2 I know is caused by the fact that I set up the drive as a RAID drive during windows set up so no problem there.)
    Please can someone tell me what should the correct bios settings be for 1 no. SATA 300 hard drive and 1 no.  IDE DVDROM and what drivers ideally should windows being using. The various RAID and IDE settings are very confusing.
    Thanks in advance

    One of the features of AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) is Native Command Queuing (NCQ). This allows ATA drives to accept more than one command at a time and reorder commands for efficiency. The reason there is some interest in getting this setup is because it supposedly increases performance. How much of an increase I don't know. I have AHCI setup in the BIOS and Vista installed fine. I read you also need the Intel Storage Matrix drivers but I'm not sure if this just applies to XP or VISTA too; in any case I never installed them. One adverse affect of changing AHCI in the BIOS having already installed XP with no AHCI is that it will not boot afterwards. I wish somebody would weigh in on this issue and give us some good advice on best practices so we can all take full advantage of SATA.
    Intel Matrix Storage drivers in AHCI mode will make the hard drives perform a little bit better, but not because of NCQ (on a single user system and OS that is). On most hard drives NCQ will cause performance to go down by a couple percent...

  • SATA + IDE HDD Settings in BIOS

    I've used this board for a couple of years. I'm getting ready to install a SATA hard drive for the first time. The user manual instructions on what settings to use are unclear. I will have one SATA hard drive, one IDE hard drive a DVD-ROM and a DVD burner. I need the correct BIOS settings. I think they are all in "On Chip IDE settings" SATA drive will be primary.
    MSI 865G board with "D Bracket"
    P4 2.4 Ghz 800mhz FSB
    2 sticks 256MB Crucial PC3200

    Lite On 16x DVD and DVD-RW
    CTL 21TF monitor
    XP Pro
    Matrox P650 video card
    XP SP2

    Please refer to the following setting in BIOS:
    On-Chip IDE Configuration
    On-Chip ATA(s) Operate Mode      Native mode (Win2000/XP)
    ATA Configuration                       PATA only
    SATA Keep Enabled                    Yes
    PATA Channel Selection                Both
    Under these settings, you can connect 6 devices on the ICH5R at most (4 PATA+2SATA) and SATA HDD will be as Primary, you can check this in Standard CMOS Features.If you set ATA Configuration as SATA only and Pata Keep Enabled as Yes, the SATA HDD will show as Third.
    Besides, it would be better to choose your boot HDD in Boot Device Select...after doing the On-Chip IDE settings.

  • MSI 945G Neo-F BIOS SATA/IDE Configuration

    Hi,
         Rather than just keep guessing, I'll just ask.  I'm building a new PC with the MSI 945G Neo-F (7176-040) motherboard.  I will be using a Western Digital 250 GB SATA hard drive and two IDE CD/DVD R/W drives.  In the BIOS, there are different ways to configure the drive setup and I am confused as to which is correct.  In the past, when I attempted to configure drives, I couldn't get it right.  I think this is mostly because I have always used IDE and now, with SATA, it's not so easy.  When I try to configure this combination, one or both don't get recognized.  This time, I'm going to rely on those that have this procedure down, to lead me in the right direction.  This is a straightforward setup...no RAID...just one hard drive and two CD/DVD-type ROMs, but both SATA and IDE need to be incorporated.  I appreciate any assistance I can get.
    Thanks...Vince

    Vinz, this board is very straight forward. There is no RAID on this board. You may read the P4 Unoffiical Guide on the SATA + PATA setup for the details.
    Where can I find this guide, link please, as I am having the same issue with a BSOD while installing windows with the cause mentioned as pci.sys

  • SATA/IDE channel configuration issues

    Ok here's the setup:
    First SATA Channel: Seagate 7200RPM 80GB HDD
    Primary IDE Channel: LG 52x CD-ROM Drive
    Secondary IDE Channel: Western Digital 7200RPM 160GB HDD
    OS: Windows XP SP1
    Mobo: MSI 865PE Neo2-P MS-6728 Version 2
    The bios can detect all drives.
    If I use the recommended On-chip IDE Configuration mode as mentioned on page 3-23 in the manual, Windows XP loads and then goes through the process of detecting the Primary and Secondary IDE channel.
    After detecting it reports that Windows reports that the "Driver is not intended for this platform".
    If you look under Administrative Tools in Control Panel is refuses to detect the PATA drive as well.
    I tried swapping the PATA and the CD drives around but the above applied.
    If I try the following drive configuration and set the bios ATA Configuration to PATA & SATA then all drives are detected in Windows:
    First SATA Channel: Seagate 7200RPM 80GB HDD
    Primary IDE Channel Master: LG 52x CD-ROM Drive
    Primary IDE Channel Slave: Western Digital 7200RPM 160GB HDD
    So what's up? I've tried tinkering around with Legacy/Native, PATA/SATA Only etc and I've run out of ideas.

    I got similiar problem as b52 when I plugin an old P-ATA deathstar drive as master on first primary IDE and a LITE-ON dvd-rom as master on secondary. When I enter Windows the hardware auto wiz starts working and after a little while reports that two devices of type "IDE channel" have "Driver is not intended for this platform". I currently use the settings Danny recommends above. Weird thing is both the deathstar and the LITE-ON drive seem to work great. Of course I want to get rid of the exclamation marks in my device manager though. I read elsewhere drive emulation software could be a culprit, and renaming/deleting atapi.sys could be a problem solver - but not for me it turned out. Anyone got other methods to try out?

  • Missing SATA configuration screen in BIOS

    Original setup
    Mobo: MSI PT880 Neo (V2.0)

    BIOS: AMIBIOS v1.3
    CPU: Intel P4 3.0GHz

    HDD: 80GB IDE Maxtor
    Optical: Lite-On DVD-RW IDE
    PSU: Tristar 550W
    Video: MSI 8907 ver200
    the hard drive is beginning to fail so I purchased a new WD 500GB SATA hard drive. The mobo has two SATA ports and according to the manual and these forums, this board should be able to handle a SATA drive but when I plug in the drive, it doesn't appear in the BIOS. In fact, there is no setting to configure the SATA drive except for to enable/disable in the "integrated peripherals" menu of the BIOS. At first I thought that I needed to flash the bios. I was able to succesfully flash it to version 2.0 but the SATA config is still missing. I tried flashing to version 1.9 but the process froze after the message "erase done" appeared but before it started writing the new bios. I had to power off the power supply to get out of the frozen screen (I know that this was probably not good but I had no other choice since it was frozen for 30 minutes with no activity during the flash process) Luckily, the system wasn't toasted. I just reset the CMOS jumper and the bios was back to version 2.0
    I'm performing the flash update by booting using a Win98 CD (I got the ISO for it from another post in this forum) then swapping in another CD with the BIOS utility and file. The PC was stable prior to the hard drive beginning to fail.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing incorrectly? I just want to be able to install Win XP on the new SATA drive and replace the IDE drive.

    Quote from: Stu on 15-May-10, 19:22:31
    What SATA config settings are you looking for? For a single drive, there is nothing to configure.
    From the FAQ section of the mobo on MSI's webpage, I was under the impression that there should be more settings in the "integrated peripherals" http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=faq2show&faq_no=37 although now that I look at the page, it doesn't say that it's specifically for this mobo (even though it is linked right from the mobo's product page)

    Did you put the jumper on for S-ATA 1.5 or did you leave no jumper for S-ATA 3.0?
    I was able to find the jumper and set the drive to SATA 150MB and now I am able to choose it in the list of bootable devices. It appears as "BBS-0 (RAID)" when I press F11 to choose a boot device. It still doesn't appear in the BIOS settings as a detected HD though. Now when I try to install Win XP, it says that there is no storage device detected. When I press F6 during the start of the install, it wants to find the driver on a floppy disk. Is there another way for Windows to be able to see the drive? I'm not installing a RAID and I'm not sure if I have a working floppy drive or floppy disk.
    Do I need to install this drive on a completely different machine, get Windows installed and then transfer it back to this box?

Do I need to clear it first. I understand the IDE's and think it is ok to use the IDE 3 for speed. Can I use SATA and IDE 3 together.  PLEASE HELP and THANK YOU
