Serial ATA on K8T Neo2-F V2.0

I have just build my Neo2-F V2.0 with 2 IDE internal disks (recognized by XP), as well as a data serial ATA1 disk, which is not recognized yet.
I was wondering how to configure this ... I press <tab> key during boot startup, but it is telling me something lik the configuration is not ok to build RAID environment (I just have 1 disk ... maybe the reason ??)
I have also downloaded from the MSI the "VIA VT8237(R) SATA RAID Driver (For floppy driver)" which as far as I understand is to create a new version of the floppy we get with the motherboard ... but that package is more than 10 MB !!!
So I do not see if :
- I really need the floppy
- How to setup my data disk with SATA.
Any advice is welcome!
Many Thanks.

Yes? Okay, explain to me how to setup RAID 1 or RAID 0 with only one SATA drive on a VIA controller ....
Don't complicate things. You cannot configure RAID with one drive, period.
im not triyng to confuse cdelecole, just wana info to be correct. Promise and Nvidia RAID's no problem to do it. for VIA you will need a RAID mod.
there is no idea to running at this couse will no performace differents.
"Bu on my previous MSI motherboard (a K7N2 Delta ILSR), I had to go in the "RAID" menu configuring a kind of "RAID".
It was called a Stripe or strike, or ... can't remember."
yes you have typical example with your old mobo. which is using (Fastrack 378) running single SATA HDD as RAID 0.

? on K8T-Neo's factory Serial ATA cables

The orange Serial ATA cables that come with the MSI K8T Neo motherboard - are those male or female connectors?
Also, I noticed that the cables are almost 2 feet long. Does anyone know where I can get shorter Serial ATA cables?
Any information is appreciated! :-)
[Countdown to HyperX memory arriving in the mail: 3 days!]

...it doesn't matter which end you plug into the HDD or the mobo...I guess you would call them male...check online vendors for shorter ones...different colors...fluorescent ones...etc...

problem
with memory running by spd i cannot get it to run at 1t (all other settings at default), it will run on any other setting with the 1t disabled.
also
should i flash the bios to 9.1 ? i tried this and the benchmark scores decreased about 1000 pts
any help would be appreciated.

I'm in the process of learning about the A64 cpu and motherboards so I can update from an XP2700+ setup.
I seem to remember from somewhere in all the reading that if you have 512MB memory in all four slots that it will only run at 2T.
If I'm way off (quite possible), please excuse my ignorance!
Edit: I found the article regarding 4 modules. Look at the second paragraph.

MSI K8T Neo2 FIR, need help installing drivers

Hi there,
I need help with installing drivers. Here’s my setup:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Mainbord: MSI K8T Neo2 FIR (VIA K8T800Pro)
OS: Windows XP Professional, SP2 installed
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
I updated per MSI Live Monitor, but when I run ‘dxdiag’, I says I have to update the ‘VIA standard host bridge’. I don’t know what this is or where it can be found. It could be I saved the updated drivers in the wrong file (F:\ Program Files\...) where F is my primary harddisk and the drivers should be saved in F:\Windows\ System 32.
Also, my hardware setup tells me there are two videocards 'installed': a Radeon 9600 Pro and a radeon 9600 Pro (secundary). Do I need to de-install the secundary one?
Here’s a piece of my most recent dxdiag:

Help would be very much appriciated, thnx!

The two vis.cards issue is normal, it sees the primary output (VGA) as a device and the TV-out a separate device.
Go to device manager to see if there's any device on ur rig that doesn't have drivers.
Did u install the 4-in1 drivers, get the latest version from the MSI support site.
good luck.

Help installing XP Pro on K8T Neo2-F!!!

I'm trying to help my cousin install XP Pro on their new pc. It's got an Athlon 64 3000+, K8T Neo2-F, 512mb Samsung ram, and an 80gb ata drive. before i started to fix it, my cousin said that he stopped the xp install midway thru because he forgot to install the RAID drivers. when i try to reinstall xp, it just freezes on DOS when it says "setup is checking hardware configuration" or sumthin like that. i also noticed that their dvdrw drive stops spinning and has a clicking noise at that point. i tried installing win 98 on it and it worked, then tried to upgrade to xp, which froze when the pc rebooted. anyone have any idea what's going on???

Hi. My setup is very similar, and I had a similar problem installing XP as well. Do as simon suggested to make sure your harddrive is clean for a fresh install. Make sure the promise 579 SATA controller and the VIA SATA RAID controller are both disabled in BIOS. Especially if your not using a RAID setup or any SATA drives you wont need them anyway.
Install XP as normal. Do not install the RAID drivers from the floppies by hitting F6. Now the XP installation should be able to complete itself. If you want to use the controllers later, enable the one (or both) you want in BIOS, Then install the drivers from the CD under Device manager update driver option.

865pe-s and serial ata

Whats up with the sata controller? It keeps giving me controller errors in the event viewer on win xp and freezes
up but if I use an add on sata controller the hard drive works fine.
bios beta 1.3 tried 1.2 and 1.1
memory muskin 3200 and also tried pc2700
ati 9500 pro
sb audigy 2
usr nic
all voltages and temps in spec
hard drive maxtor sata 80 gig
tried all different setting and no go with onboard ich5 sata
Thanks

I have the same 865PE Neo2 board and it has been confirmed that there is a serious compatiblity problem with Maxtor Serial-ATA HDD.
Have spent more than a week to troubleshoot while the MSI reps kept telling me there is no problem with the drive.
Just go to the BIOS site to download the latest version. Can anyone explain what is the different between Seagate SATA and Maxtor SATA since the compatiblity only comes from the Maxtor drive?

Changing the bios version or settings has no effect, the system will always hang in any games, If i run them off this drive.
Disconecting the Maxtor and Using an old fuijitsu 4 gig drive instead, i have no problems whatsoever.
If i boot off the fujitsu, then run the game from the sata drive, the game will crash out (half life, vice city etc), and I get a 'hardware error' message popup in XP.
Doing the same from windows2000, I get a message that says the drive has been disconnected improperly.
Otherwise, if I boot and run the game off the SATA drive, the system will just totally lock up and i have to press the reset switch.
I've pretty much had it with this board. Unless I can get a solution very soon Im taking it back and getting an ASUS instead.

[Athlon64] Fedora Core 4 install on K8T neo2 with 9.1 BIOS?

I'm seeing a strange error when trying to install Fedora Core 4 on my new Athlon 64 box. I had numerous problems with the BIOS that was installed when I got it (3.3) - mostly related to dual channel memory configuration, but I was able to get Fedora Core 4 installed. After upgrading the BIOS to 9.1 I can boot into my installed FC4 and it appears to work well, but the installation crashes when it's trying to mount the initrd RAM disk (I think). I would like to start with a fresh installation because I don't know what state the current instalation is in since it was installed in the middle of experimentation. Does anybody have this working?
My setup is:
K8T neo2
Athlon 64 3000+
2x512 MB RAM
250GB WD ATA Disk
Like I said, it seems rock stable with current install, so I don't think there's any hardware issues. I think it's an incompatibility between the FC4 install kernel and the 9.1 BIOS.
Thanks

Sorry to mention Windows. Most of the folks that I know who run Linux run a Partition with windows as well.
Anyways... The 9.1 Bios is the correct one for you but so far you are the first I have heard from that has tried Linux with that Bios and there well could be a problem. You may want to drop MSI a line as they likely are also unaware of this and it may be a simple fix. However none of the MSI staff read this forum so if you can mail them you will likely get a better responce. Let them know all the pertanent details of course and let us know what you find out as it may help the next person with this problem.

MSI K8T Neo2-FIR w/ AMD Athlon64 3000 (Venice)

I am looking at purchasing the MSI K8T Neo2-FIR with the AMD Athlon64 3000 (Venice). However, it appears that many have issues with this. I found a link to a MSI german forum that had a beta version of the newest bios but I have a few questions.
Would a german version work if i am living in canada (toronto)?
How can the bios be flashed if it doesnt recognize the cpu?
When will the new bios be released?

Quote from: Ui30 on 08-June-05, 16:36:37
The Venice core will be supported by the K8T neo2 shortly, I'm convinced about that, since Asus (I'm sorry to mention them) are supporting it already, with the same bios.
Even ECS published Venice-ready BIOS updates...

My advice: just wait a few weeks.

MSI K8T Neo2 - Problem with AGP frequency...

Hi there.
I am a proud(?) owner of the K8T Neo2 motherboard. This is the "pro" version, with the supposedly working AGP lock. But it is not working at ALL.
If I set the AGP frequency to 66, my computer wont boot. With or without overclock, it just wont boot. I have the latest BIOS, the 3.3 version, still - nothing.
I really want to overclock some, but an FSB of ~215 (preferably below if I want it to be stable in windows) is as far as I can go.
Please tell me if there is any way I can fix this. Please tell me that I've missed some important BIOS setting and it will all work out for the best.
My other hardware include a 360W chieftek PSU, a radeon 9800 pro and a winchester 3500+.

Thanks for the reply, I'm glad to hear that it is working for someone atleast, this gives me hope.
I tried following your tips. Loading optimized defaults was easy enough, it is the other things im not so sure about.
You said to "then disable the Onboard components you don't need". My question, are these onboard components found in the bios under "Integrated Peripherals"?
I'm not exactly sure what I can enable and disable, because im not very experienced.
Besides my other hardware as you saw above, I have a "Maxtor 160GB SATA DiamondMax Plus9".
I tried to disable some "PATA" option in the BIOS, but it didnt find my harddrive after that. This is why I'm confused and not sure what to disable (I thought I could disable the PATA since I have SATA, im clueless).
Also, when I boot it says, "No drive attached to fasttrack controller". What this means, I have no idea.
Update: So far in the menu i've disabled the 1394 controller, because I dont use firewire.
I also disabled something that was set to "RAID". I could set it to SATA, but I disabled that aswell. After doing this I still cant set AGP frequency to 66 and boot.
Update2: Now I disabled the serial and parallel ports, but I still cant boot with my AGP frequency at 66.

Nu B Question - Serial ATA Drive Question

Nu B Question 1
The only HD I have on the system is a Seagate 80gb
Serial ATA. I've have it on sata 3 (Promise Controller) is this correct or should it be on sata 1/2/4.
Kim
System:
Ritmo 500w Case
Intel Pentium 4 (2.40c) (Boxed with Fan)
Kingston Ram (2x) 256MB 333mhz DDR PC2700 (Total 512MB)
MSI 865PE Neo2-FIS2R
LeadTek Winfast A280LE TDH VIVO (128MB DDR - Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200 GPU with AGP 8X)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 (80GB) Serial ATA (Drive Formated NTFS)
Windows 2000 Professional
Sony FD
LiteOn 12x10x32
Viewmaster Optical Mouse

My startup times are much faster with my 7200 RPM drive. But I would agree with Kappy, decide how much HD space you need.

MBP 2010 Serial-ATA question

Hello,
I have read all technical information online about the new MBP 17'' 2010 but it doesn't say what's the Serial-ATA link speed i.e. is it 3Ghz or 6Ghz?
I have a MBP 2009 that shows Serial-ATA 3Ghz link speed and wanted to know if the new MBP highest end already support 6Ghz as this would be a very compelling reason to upgrade too
TIA,
Best regards,
Giovanni

Overall my system works great. Extremely CPU/disk intensive pro music
productions now run smooth as anything. But I'm struggling to get the graphics
card to work properly (wacky drivers) as well as USB. It's unclear whether the
VIA USB drivers can work in Win98 FE (which I chose for having the lowest MM
event latency).

MSI K8T Neo2 F vs. MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

Hi there !
I have an amd Athlon XP 3200+ overheating problem, and contacted the technical support of the shop where the processor and CPU was coming from.
Since they do not have any XP 3200+ to replace mine, they propose me to replace fro free :
- the XP 3200+ by an AMD Athlon 64 3200+
- my actual MSI K7N2 delta ILSR by an MSI K8T Neo2 F
... and this for free.
Since I do not know this new motherboard that has been proposed, I'd like to have advice on if this is a good deal ?!?
My actual system has :
- an Aluminium case with 2x 12cm FAN's
- 2 IDE hard drives
- 1 SATA hard drive
- TWINX Corsair XMS 2x256MB PC 3200L (Extreme low latency)
- an AGP 8x video card
- An Antec True Power 480W.
will the new motherboard fit with this configuration?
Many thanks for your input !

Not really, unless you really want to oc your cpu. The K8T boards aren't that good in OC-ing. But still, some is possible and you'll be sure that the board is as steady as a rock.
For a moment I thought you were talking about a Neo board ... but I just saw it's a Neo2. That means Socket 939 -> dual channel RAM.
The only risk you have now, is that your RAM won't work in dual channel with the CPU. But that's not really a board-problem, more a CPU/RAM-controller related problem. But then, it's still a great offer and chances are good that it will work. If you run into any trouble, RAM-related, just flash bios to version 1.9 and you will probably be just fine.

MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and Serial ATA Drive

I've got a very strange problem....
Yesterday i have installed my new motherboard (MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR) but i have a problem with the SATA feature.
I've got two drives : one 40GB ATA (Western Digital) and one 160GB SATA also from Western Digital.
My SATA drive is recognized by the FastTrak BIOS (v2) but i'm unable to reinstall Windows XP Professional (with SP2 Slipstreamed) because Windows Setup didn't recognize the SATA disk. I have loaded the Promise Serial ATA Drivers at the begin of the installation (F6)...
I have also tried 2 different versions of the Promise SATA Drivers; the one that cames with my motherboard CD, and the most recent from the MSI website. But with both drivers the same result. How can i get my Serial ATA Harddisk get work with this motherboard?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Computerfreakje.
PS : My specifications are the following:
MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR (Rev. 7.4)
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
2x 256MB Kingston PC3200 Dual Channel
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb (R360)
Western Digital 40GB ATA
Western Digital 160GB SATA

Thanks for your reply Richard,
My motherboard didn't came with a floppy (I have bought an bulk version..) I have created a SATA floppy by myself. (I have got the drivers from the motherboard cd..) These drivers are also good, right?
Which type of RAID Array should i create? Because i have only one SATA drive.....
I think the "auto" feature is the easiest way?
Thanks.

K8t neo2-FIR lock ups

hey i'm posting for my friend who recently got a new setup for his computer
antec 400W power supply
3200+
k8t neo2-FIR
sapphire radeon 9600XT
512 meg major brand ram
2 80 gig harddrives
onboard sound/lan
i'm not too sure of the psu specs
the computer (with latest driver updates) has a tendency of locking up where the screen will just go black at random periods
no matter the situation and we will have to restart it (we tried in optimizeed bios settings and default)
the computer when i was there ran fine in video games except for the locking up part
i'm not sure what the problem is nor does my friend any help is appreciated

Run Memtest86 and find out which RAM models he uses. Likely as not it is going to be part of the issue. See if you can read the lable on that PSU as well and find out how many amps are on the 12v rail.
