Strange hdd capacity on 865PE Neo3

my friend just purchased msi neo3 865PE for his p4 660 LGA775. Everything run ok, but the system just can detect 130gb of his hdd (it is seagate 200gb). How to fix this? Everything is ok when using 865PE neo2.

What size is detected in the bios?

[Other 865 Series] 865PE Neo3-F (SATA and PATA problems),please help,thx

Hi
I have MSI 865PE Neo3-F mainboard and I have a few little problems with Neo.
My first:
I have HDD Maxtor DiamondMax10 300GB,16MB cache,SATA.When I was installing Windows,(widows setup) it shows that HDD has only 131GB.BIOS shows 251GB.what does it mean?Not supported HDD or only 130GB for one partition?
My second:
I want to connect also P-ATA HDD,but BIOS don´t see him.
What would be IDE settings in BIOS and also jumper settings on PATA HDD and DVD when I want use:
SATA as Primary Master (system disk)
PATA as Secondary Master
DVD-ATA IDE as Secondary Slave
My last:
What I should installing when I want to use all advantages of SATA HDD and what would be BIOS settings?
PLEASE HELP IT IS URGENTLY,CAUSE I HAVE TO WORK TO MY SCHOOL
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
Thank you

At the first thank you for your reply.
Yes it works.
Sorry I didn´t post my OS.My OS is XP (with SP2,now).
Configuration:
P4 Prescott 540J 3.2GHz,FSB800MHz,HT (enabled)
MSI 865PE Neo3-F
2x APACER 512MB DDR400 (Dual channel,slot 1 and 3)
ASUS FX5700 256MB
Maxtor DiamondMax10 300GB,16MB cache,7200rpm
DVD-RW Plextor 716AK
After installing Service Pack 2 windows shows that HDD has 300GB,but I created two partitions before (C:\ [30GB] and D:\ [100GB] in windows setup) and now (after install SP2 E:\ [170GB]) one partition in Windows.Problem how do I put together last two partitions (D:\ and E:\) to one partition?
so if I right understand after this settings in BIOS:
Native Mode
ATA Configuration - PATA only (or SATA-only)
SATA Keep enabled - yes
PATA Keep enabled - yes
PATA channel selection - both
and what about another two options in this menu?what are the settings?(somtehing about 1st channel and so on)
connections looks like that:
on IDE ATA100 cable from IDE1 will be connect HDD ATA100 as Master and DVD as slave?
on SATA cable from SATA1 will be connect HDD SATA?
How system knows which one from two Masters HDD is System disk?from Boot menu?
Is some page on the web where can I find closer explain of IDE (SATA) settings for MB MSI?
Sorry for questions,but I am working at the first time with SATA disk

[865pe neo3-f] POST stops at booting attempt

hi all..i need help with my 865pe neo3-f mobo..1st of all, my specs are:
p4 530 3.0 ghz

80 gigs seagate patd

if there's any more info needed, just let me know..
problem:
a friend of mine plugged his usb hard drive to my front usb port, the next thing i know, my windows xp freezes..
i reset but the mobo freezes while the d bracket says that it was trying to boot to os (1st led red n the other green) according to the manual..
i've tried booting with only 1 ram stick, video card n cpu but no luck..the mobo still stops when it's trying to boot most of the time..ocassionally i can get all led green but that's like success in every 15+ attempts..
please help me if anyone has a solution for my problem..thank u..

thank u for the reply..i will post the psu spec later...
anyway the mobo's bios has been cleared many times but the problem just won't go away..i've disconnected the usb hdd also..
i can't get by to the bios post screen..the mobo stops at exactly when it's trying to boot (d-led: 1st led red, the rest green)..so in essence, whenever i turned on my pc, it stops when it's trying to boot and restart itself..
by the way, the mobo's bios is the latest v5.3..
i will post the power spec when i get home..thank u so much..

648 Max: HDD capacity only 2GB (should be 30 GB) in WinXP

Hi!
I have a problem that seems to be related to my new 648 Max motherboard. Windows XP doesn't recognise the full capacity of my HDD.
The HDD is about two years old (IBM Deskstar 75 GXP, 30.7 GB). Everything seems to be fine when i boot the computer. The motherboard BIOS recognises the HDD correctly. However, when installing Windows XP, the HDD capacity is limited to 2 GB.
There were no problems using the same HDD in Windows XP with my old motherboard.
Anyone have any suggestions??

If you use A win98 startup disk and use FDISK how big does it say the disk is and are there any partitions on it ?

What should I think for 865PE Neo3-F and 3.0 ghz?

with this mobo
MSI "865PE Neo3-F" i865PE Chipset Motherboard For Intel LGA 775 CPU
and this CPU
Intel LGA 775 Pentium 4 540J 3.2 GHz, 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2 Cache
what should I exspect for a super stable overclock? Does the motherboard have tons of options?
Im going to be de clocking the memory so I can get a higher clock speed. Let me know if you know how well the options are. Thanks.
I hope at least 3.6 (It will have extra cooling 40 degree datacenter)

There's not only MSI make 775 with old chipset.
DFI even make 775 with 875 chipset. And in my country (in a mag), they complain it's faster than 915. -yes, I think it's right, no surprise-
I think it's not about OC but more about price. As the chipset is cheaper, and use AGP + DDR1, so you can still use most -expensive- part of your previous system.

865PE NEO3-F package content question

A had a brand new motherboard break down, so the store where I bought it did send me a totally different motherboard: a 865PE NEO3-F and seemes to been used and there is no CD or nothing else in the box. I've paid for a full product and I would like to know what the package contains in a full box.
I've checked the manual online 'cus I didn't get one in the box, but it doesn't say anything about package content.
Can anyone help me out?
Robert

Many times when items are RMA'd, what you get is a refurbished item, not new. In fact, it should be stated in the replacement policies. Also, often, you only ship the item, not the accessories that come with it. Usually, this is spelled out in the RMA--at least it has with a router and UPS I've RMA'd in the past. Obviously, these conditions are not universal and each RMA process and requirements are specific to a manufacturer/product. Anytime I RMA, which has been rare, I double check to make sure I know exactly what needs to be returned. I hope you get what you deserve and owed in product replacement. Definitely contact the retailer.

Finder not updating HDD capacity

Hi all,
I have a MacBook Pro 2,4Ghz running Leopard 10.5.8
Today I have moved worth 60GB of data to my external drive, but the HDD capacity has not changed. If I go on Macintosh HD -> Get info, the used and available information has not changed from before moving those 60GB to an external drive.
Before you ask, yes, I made sure I was moving and not copying and my thrash is empty.
Thanks for your input!

Yes - the FileVault encrypted disk image that holds your home folder contents will not shrink down automatically when you delete files from it - it needs to be "compacted" to free up the space on your HD.
In Tiger, you are offered this prompt on logout:
!http://i37.tinypic.com/2q2myw8.jpg!
I'm not currently using Leopard, but from this article:
*Leopard's FileVault*
http://www.technowhat.com/files/01cf0213092dcb31fc83e7f91810dcb3-41.html
In Tiger it prompted if you would like to recover space or skip this process. I found many of my users would select the “Skip” option because of the length of time this would take. It wouldn’t be unusual to see a Tiger system take minutes to finish this process. In Leopard there is no prompt. The recovering option is performed regardless of the user’s feelings, however the process is also significantly faster completing within seconds.
In Tiger, a laptop computer would only offer to recover the unused FileVault space on logout if the AC power adapter was connected. I don't know if you need to do this in Leopard.

Advice need : MSI 865PE Neo3-f

I have MSI 865PE Neo3-F which is 775 platform, running with P4 506 (bus 533) + DDR400, it does overclockable on core cell utility. When I tried to overclock via BIOS (lastest one V5.3), I see that AGP/PCI bus is unlockable, my ram cannot set CL to 3 (only 2 and 2.5 avaliable), when I save changes and quit bios the screen goes blank and have to reset BIOS, even increase FSB only 1 Does anyone experienced these things. THX

Hmm, first time i hear that...Asus usually overclocks from snail speed to 2*snail speed
Main thing is, it makes u happy

After I have tried manythings , I switched out my NEW and WORKING ATI Radeon 9600SE AGP Graphics card , For an old ATI Radeon 7200 AGP Graphics card I had laying around and the computer booted up fine.... So basically my problem is that my computer will not boot up with my good graphics card. But it will boot up with my old crappy one. I know its not my Graphics card because it works in another computer. My bro also has the same video card I have the ATI Radeon 9600SE card so I tried it in my computer and it booted up fine.

As far as the ram it could stop one video card from booting up and let another boot up fine? I will try it just in case. But anyone else have any suggestions?

Qosmio X300-11W - HDD Capacity and RPM

Hi all,
Quick question.
What is max HDD capacity and RPM for x300-11w
I wish to change my hdd but don't want to make mistake.
Thanks

Virtually all modern SATA based laptops can take any size HDD. The previous limitation was LBA48, which was limited to 137GB. The next limit is something like 8 Exabytes.
The two things you need to be aware of is:
1) Rotational speed. 7200RPM drives will work in any laptop, but they get hotter than 5400RPM drives. The X300 is a large machine, so a 7200RPM drive will be fine. If it was a compact portable laptop such as a Portege, 7200RPM may not be a good idea, unless the drive is generally a cool running drive.
2) Physical size. Some HDD's can be 12mm or higher - especially if they are of large capacity. Measure the original drive, and ensure the new drive has the same height.

Loud Fan noise when using Pentium 4 LGA 775 with 865PE Neo3-F

Hi,
I have just bought a new Pentium 4 LGA 775 - 2.8A GHz with MSI 865PE Neo3-F motherboard and realized that the fan is simply very very noisy.
When I boot it up, it started with around 2500 RPM and 30C, but soon after I logged into Windows, the fan starts to speed up to 4900 RPM with the CPU temperature at 60C.
I asked my friend who uses the same combination of processor and motherboard, he said his fan only rotates at 3000 RPM, with CPU temperature at 55C, and it is NOT noisy at all.
I have tried CoreCenter and SpeedFan, but none of them can slow down the fan.
Any idea how I can maybe slow down the CPU when I don't need so much power, or slow down the fan?
Is there something wrong with my installation of the CPU Fan maybe?
Thanks a lot.

its bound to be noisey thrashing round at that speed.
You may want to think about optimizing the CPU coolng with some ducting directly onto the top of the CPU fan.
I presume the heatsink is seated onto the CPU with some thermal compound.
check this thread out for some tips on ducting, and search threads for similar topic

My CPU fan is constantly at 2200rpm , but I am sucking in cold air from outside of the house.

Maximum HDD capacity for HP G7035EA

I wish to replace a faulty HDD in a HP G7035EA laptop. What is the maximum capacity the BIOS will permit me to use ?

It is a SATA drive so there is not a BIOS limitation. Make sure you have ahci or "native SATA" enabled in the BIOS (if that option is even there). I know they now make at least a 640 gig standard 9.5 mm thick 2.5 inch wide laptop hard drive and you can definitely use one of those.

Compaq Presario CQ61 - New WD3200BPVT HDD - Capacity incorrect

The original 320gb Hitachi Travelstar HDD died in my Compaq Presario CQ61. I have just replaced it with a 320gb Western Digital Scorpio Blue (WD3200BPVT). Using my original Windows 7 recovery discs I have now got the notebook up and running.
However, my issue is that explorer says that the capacity of my new disc is 67.9 GB. Where has the other 250GB gone and how do I get them back ?

Possibly this is partitioned or not partioned at all. I would strongly suggest to call the tech support and run the recovery process one more time with them on the phone.
