Sata on the MSI-KT6 DELTA LSR

Hello
Can someone tell me if i can run 1 sata disc with windows XP and no ide hdd wil this work on my  MSI-KT6 DELTA LSR motherboard.
Or do i need to do it in raid
Greetz sjoerd

It's possible.  There's one person who's had problems and there's others that say they can. The FAQ on the ASUS KT600 board says you can on XP (not sure about me or 98), so accroding to them the 8237 bridge should be able to. I'll paste the Asus steps which should be about the same.  You need to up date your bios to the one ending in .52 (for MSI).  Via has some newer drivers posted Sept 22nd ...maybe go with them at link below and follow the asus steps for 1 HD.  Post back if it works.  I'd use XP with SP1 incorporated.  I'm not saying the answer to your question is a definite "yes".
ASUS FAQ site:
I have only one HDD, but it's SATA HDD. Can I use it to install Windows XP on A7V600 without building RAID?
Yes, you can install Windows XP with one SATA HDD on A7V600.
Please first copy the driver from A7V600 support CD \Drivers\VIARAID\DriverDisk\SATA\*.* into root directory of floppy disk.
(i.e. root directory of floppy disk should contain \pide and \sata folders, txtsetup.oem and vt6420 files.)
Then, boot system by Windows XP installation CD, when the below message show up, press "F6".
"Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver"
Then, press "S" to specify additional device when next screen show up. Put the driver floppy disk you made and press enter to continue.
(If the floppy disk is made successfully, the installation program will ask for selecting driver. Please then select "VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller(Windows XP)".)
After SATA driver loaded and Windows XP can recognize SATA HDD, you can continue to install Windows XP as usual.
(If the driver is selected successfully, but the installation program cannot find your hard drive. Please check whether the hard drive is connected correctly both SATA cable and power cable.)
Via has some new Sep 22nd drivers (you might try those) and in the notes it says it does JBOD along with RAID.

  • 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+
    Antec QuietPower 350W
    200GB Seagate SATA HDD
    40GB Seagate PATA HDD
    ATI Radeon 7500 AIW
    Audigy 2 Value
    Realtek 8139 NIC

    2x512 MB PC 2700 RAM
    Pioneer 107D DVD Writer
    LG 16X DVD-ROM
    56K Modem (A-open)

    Shouldn't say what I don't know about SATA, but since I found below, I need ask if VIA 4in1 drivers are installed, preferably while in SafeMode I say:
    http://www.google.se/search?q=cache:X6ewgPiIHYcJ:www.qdi.nl/cgi-bin/bbs/YaBB.pl%3Fboard%3DP4I865%3Baction%3Ddisplay%3Bnum%3D1074174096+sata+to+pata+cpu+usage&hl=sv
    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

  • Msi kt6 delta lsr temp problem?

    i have just installed a msi kt6 delta lsr , but when i have ran the system a while the sys temp is around 40-42 c and the cpu temp is around 52c .
    on my old mobo the temps never went above 35c for the cpu and 25c for the sys temp .
    my specs for old mobo etc =
    AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+
    jetway v400db (kt400 chipset)
    400w psu
    ata133 80gb hd (maxtor)
    512 ddr333
    geforce fx5800 ultra
    windows me (but same in win xp pro)
    2 fans blowing air into case and 2 sucking air out
    does anybody know a way to improve the temps please

    Yippee! A ME user, like me! You know I guess MS support for W98 and ME has been prolonged til 2006? It has partly to do with Linux.
    The temperature for the CPU is a little high, but not alarmingly so. Barton gets a little bit hotter on these boards, and I think it is the placing belovw the PSU that is the cause. The system temperature for you is no problem.
    To get the warmth away from the CPU I suggest a fan placed in the case door/side, that sucks it out.
    Perhaps you have not got such a case door? Then I suggest a quiet 80 mm fan on the back of the case as high as possible, again sucking air out in order to make a nice air flow. Another suggestion is to tie away cabling to the sides of the case as much as possible, power cables, IDE cables etc.

  • HELP - MSI KT6 Delta-LSR

    hi,
    i have this motherboard: msi kt3 ultra2, and now im buying a new one, for use with my barton 2500+.
    i prefer MSI KT6 Delta-LSR, but i dont know if can i change the multiplie like in Abit NF7-S (MaxFID™ Technology).
    can i do this on MSI KT6 Delta-LSR ?
    remember: in actual motherboard i can change the cpu ratio only to 12.5
    i need to select what ratio i want. like 15x, 16x...
    thanks and sorry for the english.

    a its a via board not an nforce
    b why change it if you want multipliers like that ,only reason to change is to run 200 fsb and you only get yto do that with lower multipliers

  • Need help from somebody with the "MSI KT6 Delta-FIS2R" motherboard

    Hi everybody!
    I really need some help from somebody with the MSI KT6 Delta-FIS2R motherboard (the one with onboard LAN, Audio, RAID, S-ATA and IEEE1394 firewire). You see. I've got this board myself but it's been destroyd. Some values for the onboard devices in my board has been overwritten so that windows no longer recognizes the onboard LAN and Audio controller anymore. I really need some help from somebody with this board.
    I need to see what the values for the onboard devices should be. I hope someone can help me by sending me a repport from the Everest home edition: http://www.lavalys.com/products/overview.php?pid=1&lang=en
    If anyone could do me this favour, I would be VERRY thankfull

  • MSI KT6 Delta LSR and Radeon 9600 XT 256mb x8 AGP Problem

    hi,
        Ive just brought a Radeon 9600 XT 256mb and it wont run at x8 agp at all, games lockup as soon as i start them, within 5 mins all text on display corrupts and i get a message saying the gpu recover has set the gpu to default settings.
    I cant change anything in BIOS to set it to x4 agp as its not selectable and says AUTO only for agp speed setting.
    Only way to alter is goto smartgart in ATI drivers and select x 4 agp if u get in before text corrupts :(
    Ive managed to get it stable at x4 agp now through smartgart.
    BUT it says on box and in manual this motherboard supports agp x8 but why dont it run it ???
    i havent a clue whats up with it.

    hi,
        Ive got it running stable in x4 agp and found a post on ATI website about some motherboards not working proberly at x8 agp with Radeon 9600 series graphics cards.

    Got nice scores in 3dmark 2001 and 3dmark 2003

  • Problems installing windows on 36.7GB raptor on KT6 Delta-LSR

    I've been trying to get this damn thing to work for a few days   and then someone told me about the forum here at MSI. So far I've been reading different threads now for a total of approx. 3-4 hours and I don't think I've come across someone with my exact problem unless I've overlooked it. I've had two 40GB drives for a couple of years now and I decided that I'll upgrade to a WD 36.7 GB raptor. I thought all would be good until I popped it in and tried to install windows on it. I boot off the Win XP CD and press F6 to instal the SATA drivers. It accepts the drivers on the floppy, recognizes the drive and reformats and continues until, right after the format it says, "The disk or CD may be damaged......blah blah blah." I don't know if this is referring to my HDD, but it seemed like it was referring to my floppy b/c when I press enter to continue, it asks me to insert the floppy again, and then it reads the floppy and gives the same error. I've been trying to get this to work for the past few days now, and I think I tried almost everything. I disconnected all other optical drives and HDD's except for the Raptor and my dvd writer and still same prob. I tried d/l new sata drivers from MSI and still same problem. I changed where I plugged the sata into (since there were two ports) and still same thing. I wanted to update my bios (v5.5) but the readme file said not to flash from a floppy. I don't have another drive to flash from, so I don't know what to do about that. Please anybody help!!!   My system spec are below...
    MSI KT6 DELTA-LSR
    AMD 3000
    1.5 GB RAM
    ATI Radeon 9200
    WD 36.7 RAPTOR
    Samsung 40GB 7200rpm
    LG CD writer
    LG DVD writer
    Enermax 300W
    SB Audigy
    D-Link wireless network adapter
    ....I think that's about it.
    When I tried installing last the CDRW and Samsung drive were disconnected....

    Hello,
    I would like to comment on the 1.5Gb of ram.
    Please use 1 stick and try again.
    Also I hope you are not mixing modules of different make/spec/size.
    1GB + 512MB
    512MB + 512MB + 512MB <this one is good if thry are all the same make/model/revision
    256MB + 256MB + 1GB
    You can test the memory with this program.
    http://www.memtest.org/download/1.51/memtest86+-1.51.floppy.zip
    - Extract all the files to a folder, then run the install.bat.
    - It will make a memtest bootdisk.
    - Then you must boot from this disk, please test each module individually.
    - If they are all fine then try your combo and see what happens.
    - Test each module for 1hour, if you get any errors instantly then you can stop and change module.
    Do not flash until you are sure that the memory is ok.
    HOW TO FLASH BIOS
    ==============
    Download this run it to make a boot disk.
    http://www.nerdlabs.org/bootdisks/diskimages/wboot98se.exe
    Then get a 2nd disk, copy everything in the BIOS zip to it.
    Boot from the RAMDRIVE DISK, start computer without cdrom support.
    once its all loaded, put in the 2nd disk.
    type
    copy a:\*.* c:
    press enter
    type
    c:
    press enter
    type
    adsfi709 a6590vms.570
    press enter
    it should flash the BIOS.
    Then you must turn the PC off and clear the CMOS, (JBAT jumper).
    Reconfigure all of your settings.

  • Problem with KT6 Delta-LSR

    Hello
    I bought MSI KT6 Delta-lsr today and haven't had it work yet.
    Usually when I turn on the power only fans start to run and i get memory or processor error from d-bracket leds. Memory chips and processor should be ok since sometimes If I clear cmos and start pc, it seems to start fine and all leds are green but system will hang in winxp loading screen. Changing options in bios doesn't seem to do any good, usually boot after editing bios will cause again memory or processor error.
    Any idea what is causing this problem?
    Specs.

    Thank you for moving this topic to right forum.
    I was wondering if those memory chips just doesn't work with my processor.
    Could someone explain me this fsb and ddr speed stuff? Not sure if my tb runs
    with fsb 100 or fsb 133. Or does those setting even matter for ddr rams?
    Manual says that if I have cpu speed 100 and 333 ddr it's not supported but 133 and 333 should work. Still pc sometimes seem to start up but freezes soon. So to me it seems memory and proccessor works.

  • MSI KT6 Delta series problem!! :(

    Hi there!
    Im new to the forums so hello to everybody
    Ok i have a problem with my new motherboard.
    I bought the MSI KT6 Delta SLR i think ...
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=474  
    Ok before i bought this motherboard i used to have a ABIT KT7 Raid and it all worked well!
    But i wanted a new 1 so i bought the MSI mobo.
    The setup in my case didnt change at all i only replaced the motherboard.
    I started it up and it couldnt find the HD's on IDE1 ...But it did find the CDroms , dvd etc on IDE2.
    I changed it around so i had the HD's on IDE2 and CDROM's on IDE2 ...but it didnt startup after that ...  
    I changed them back and again it only found the CDrom's .
    I thought hmz maybe i broke something who knows so i changed back to the old mother board and it worked well again    
    So it had to be the motherboard i thought ...so i went back ...got a new 1 same brand / type etc.
    Again i did the same but now AGAIN it didnt find the HD's on IDE1 ...but it DID find the HD's on IDE2 .....
    So now im stuck with only 1 HD and a dvd burner  
    What could be the problem ?
    I tried everything....from " master/slave "  and only 1 HD or only 2 HD's etc but then it either cant find the disks or it wont startup at all ....
    Specs :
    Maxtor 80g  /  WDC 40 g Harddisks

  • DDR400 freezing on KT6 Delta-LSR ?

    I usually run 2 x sticks of 512MB Kingston DDR400, and have never had a problem.
    I've removed them to test a 1GB stick of Kingston DDR400, but it won't work at 'full speed'.
    I'm guessing the RAM is fine, as it was working perfectly in the system I pulled it from.
    XP freezes (after about 5-10 mins) when I run the RAM at 400MHz, but seems to be ok at 333MHz.
    > Tested RAM in all slots, still freezes
    > Booted into Windows Memory Diagnostic - no errors
    > Booted into Memtest86 - no errors (didn't let it run long though)
    > Ran HCI Memtest from XP, and it froze as soon as the test started. But will run fine at 333MHz.
    I ordered another 1GB stick a few days ago (to have 2GB total). Have I wasted my money? Will I have to run my DDR400 RAM at 333Mz?
    Any suggestions?

    Bugger it. I'll just stick with 333. I'll be getting another one (DDR400) in the mail in a few days, so I'll test that (by itself) and see if it can run at 400. Not that it will be much use even if it can.
    I was going to buy 2 sticks of 333 anyway, but the 400s are cheaper. So I guess even if I'm stuck at 333, I've still saved a few dollars.
    Nearly time to retire the Delta-LSR I think....

  • MSI KT6-Delta-SR + Athlon 2400+ (266) Problem

    Hey Guys,
    I have a problem with the MSI KT6-Delta-SR and Athlon 2400+ (266).
    I've tried about 6 different boards and 6 different athlon 2400+ (266fsb) and what happens is randomly when you turn the computer on the processor is displayed as an athlon 2000+ or athlon 1700+ (using different ram and other components too).
    I check in bios and the fsb is still set to 133 (which should be correct for a 266fsb athlonXP).
    Running latest bios for the board (v. 5.5) and have tried previous bios revisions.  
    Anyone come across this? is this an incompatability with the KT6-Delta-SR  and 266fsb athlons?
    could it be a v.core issue? (what should the v.core b for athlon 2400+ (266)?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Borjo jnc, aopen, gtr 350watt psu. it's not a psu problem.
    yes 2 problems.
    1. incorrect cpu recognition
    and  2. random restart before xp loads.
    after random restart cpu is recognised as either athlon 2000+ or athlon 1700+
    this occurs sometimes before detecting hard drive, but mainly when second bar of windows xp pro loads (running xp pro +sp1 Plus latest updates and drivers. and regardless of what bios revision i'm using.
    Tyco cpu id software says athlon2400+ and correct specs when booting properly. if i look at the top of the cpu is says athlon2400+

  • MSI KT6 DELTA-FIS2R Bundled stuff

    Hi!
    I Bougth a MSI KT6 DELTA-FIS2R, and expected some more bundled stuff. Does anyone know whats supposed to be bundled? I need to know if my supplier is ripping me off.
    I'm missing the D and S bracket, and some cables( only got 2 sata cables and 2 ide cables, but that doesnt matter much as I got all the cables I need).
    Trond

    Hi Trond look at the side of your outer box find the white sticker it will list what accessories you should be getting. If you need the brackets you need to yell at MSI well not really you need to contact them by e-mail I wouldn't try phoning them you'll never get through. What MSI doesn't tell you up front is that even though the motherboard is a top of the line expensive sob the accessories are still optional so what you could get is a bundle worthy of the SR or LSR bone stock model. What you should get are the RED rounded cable(s), the SATA cables the power adapters are optional so I hope you can get ahold of some or have a drive with a legacy power plug. My box contained two manuals one for sata one for the board, two floppies, the standard issue MSI driver cd, I/O bracket, cheapo black rounded cable, and the firewire bracket nothin' else when I first opened the box I was looking all over at all the nooks, and cranies for the other stuff, but alas it wasn't there.  So long story short to determin what you get you have to look at that white sticker.

    I purchased some generic ram that was Cas 2, but I couldn't push my FSB above 100.  When I upgraded to some Kingston (see below) I could easily push it to 166.
