Trouble installing CD-ROM drive on KT3-Ultra ARU

Hello,
I am trying to install an IDE CD-ROM drive as a slave to my HDD. The HDD is jumpered as master, the CD-ROM jumpered as slave, the HDD is on the middle connector of the cable, the CD-ROM drive on the end.
The BIOS sees the CD-ROM drive, but Windows 2000 Professional does not see it in the device manager.
If I install the CD-ROM as a single drive on the secondary IDE it works just fine, but this is not an option. I must install it as a slave.
Please help!!!

I figured it out..
I had to enable auto-detection for the secondary device on my primary ide device in the device manager.
Doh!
Thanks for the suggestions and help though.

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU Startup Trouble

I am running an MSI KT3 Ultra ARU Mainboard with an amd athlon xp 1500+ processor, a GeForce4 Ti4200 made by Gainward (64mb), two AOC 120MM case fans, one 80mm case fan, a thermaltake volcano 7 speed variable Heatsink, two crucial 512MB pc2100 DDR Ram Chips a sony 16x12x40x cdrw and an LG 16x dvd rom, as well as a 20gig tape drive by HP and floppy drive. The hard drive is a maxtor diamondmax 60GB. all this powerd by an Antec 350W PSU.
Specs over with, heres the problem
I can only boot from floppy disk. Booting from the hard disk gives me an "Error Loading Operating System" error, I have tried two other drives and both of these drives have OS's on them, winnt4 and winxp respectively. The Maxtor drive is clean but not new, I am formatting it as we speak to see if that works. I have tried to boot from a bootable win2k cd on two different CDRW drives as well as an old CD Rom drive, and a DVD rom drive. I always get this error "Searching for Boot Record from CD.....None Found" proceeded by the "Error Loading Operating System" error. I am running everything off the three IDE plugs, with round IDE cable(I have tried flat ones, no luck with those either) I am not attempting to run this in a RAID array at all.
Anyone got any ideas as to why this problem would be occuring????

hi nailz,
Hope this may solve your problem. In the BIOS, Advanced BIOS Features, set "Boot Sequency" 1st, 2nd, 3rd boot devices to the SAME one, ie Floppy for all, or 1st Master HDD for all. Then reboot. Disable "Try boot device' first. Repeat this until you get the board to boot the device.
If can't,
Clear the CMOS and retry.
If can't,
(In the BIOS) select all IDE devices and set to NONE. Set "Clear NVRAM" in PCI Configuration. Save and exit the BIOS, then re-entering BIOS in the next boot, enable all IDE devices. Save and exit, re-enter BIOS once more, check the "Boot Sequence".
Yup... try changing around with IDE settings in the BIOS. Good luck.

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU - Can\'t install W2K !!

I've just bought my first AMD powered rig and I'm not able to install W2K pro. First let me say I'm not a computer novice and have been handling workstation/server hardware/software for years in the Intel world.
The failure happens at different places in the install, with different results.. sometimes while copying files the system freezes.. sometimes in the middle of a copy i get the BlueSOD... sometimes after copying files when booting into Windows 2000 for the first time the system just reboots to a black screen and is unable to find a boot partition... so we start over and the install deletes copied files and begins again.

Followed Mr.Steveo's guides for hardware installation, flashing BIOS from 5.4 (kept a copy) to 5.5. No problems.
Followed Mr.Steveo's guide for BIOS settings, using his recommendations to the letter, then after failure changed SRRAM freq: to HCLK+66 for 3000C2 ram... BUT still fails.
Additional detail - I lost my original W2KPro CD, and my copy is not bootable... so I'm creating a 2GB DOS partition and booting with a Win98 boot disk to get to the CD and running WINNT from there.
I've gone through the posts on both the AMDMB and MSI forums and seen some insightful suggestions... but nothing that exactly duplicates by problems. Hopefully one of you bright bulbs will be able to light my way. :D
When I get the BSOD I get different STOP errors:
0x0000000A IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
(BIOS or Drivers using improper memory address)
0x0000001E KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
(A kernel mode process tried to execute an illegal or unknown processor instruction)
HELP !!

Back Rev'd the Bios to 5.4 but that didn't help. Back to the forums...
Bas - Thanks for reminding me of the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid). I had simplified the HW but was still altering the Bios settings to where I know they should be.
WELL - I HAVE SUCCESS !!
In further research, (being new to this - remember?) I also find threads saying that I'm supposed to clear the CMOS/NVRAM using a motherboard jumper before powering up the board for the first time and after changing processors. I don't know how accurate that is - maybe someone will be kind enough to elaborate.
I've asked Mr.Steveo in the AMDMB forums if he thinks this step needs to be included in his hardware installation guide. I followed it religiously in my install and it doesn't mention doing this.
Anyway, I got the OS installed. After that, I went back into the Bios and added all suggested settings. I'm getting "2200+" in the boot screens and in the OS.
Now lets finish the install and see if we remain stable. After several days of burnin, I'll OC some to see what I can get.
Thanks Guys!!

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU and 200gb Hard Drive

I just bought a 200gb Hitachi Deskstar and loaded up Windows XP and noticed that the drive size is only 137GB instead of around 200. Does the KT3 Ultra Aru no support 200gb Hard Drives? What do I need to do to make this work? Thanks in advance.

The board supports such drives. But: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;303013

KT3 Ultra ARU Slow HD Transfer Rates

Hello,
First, please see my system information at the bottom of this message.
I have a MSI KT3 Ultra ARU motherboard and have installed a Maxtor ATA133 60GB hard drive with 2 MB cache. The hard drive is jumpered as Master and is connected all by itself on the IDE1 ribbon cable. On IDE2 I have a CDRW (Master) and a CD-ROM (Slave). My other hard drive (WD 120GB ATA100 8 MB cache) is on IDE3 and is set up in RAID 1+0 stripe.
I recently ran the Sandra file system benchmark on my hard drives with what I think are very discouraging results. My Maxtor drive on IDE1 scored 32 MB/s and my WD drive on IDE3 came in at 23 MB/s. Those are some stinky results aren’t they?
I checked my Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers and it indicates that for my Primary IDE Channel the current transfer mode for device 0 is Ultra DMA Mode 6. I don’t know how to check the transfer mode on my IDE3 hard drive.
Question #1: Are my 32 MB/s and 23 MB/s results slow for my hardware?
Question #2: If these results are slow, how can I increase the transfer rates?
Please help!
Thank you!!!!

KT3 Ultra-ARU not work with ATI 9600pro?

Hi,
I have recently(yesterday) bought an ATI 9600pro, to upgrade my old GF2pro. As the title says, I have the KT3 Ultra-ARU(MS-6380E)
There seems to be lockup problems that involve only certian games and the ATI DVD player. In all instances the lock ups happen when the mouse is moved. With respect to the ATI DVD player, it will lock if the mouse is moved over the video window.
I have tried a few things but nothing works, so I am posting here to try and see if someone knows something and I will contact ATI in a few hours, or maybe tomorrow.

For via chipset (kt333 based msi kt3 ultra-aru) i can now obtain full hardware acceleration and 100% stable for c&c generals game by:
1) download and install latest catalyst 3.7 driver/control panel/samartgart from ati.
2) disable fast-write in bios..
3) go to c:programsati technologyati control panel and execute smartgart
4) enable - pci read/write and agp read.
5) disable - agp write (default in my case was on causing the problem).
6) "apply", reboot, then "ok".

KT3 Ultra-ARU SB Live! problem when using onboard Promise MBFasttrak 1

Hello !
I have one little problem with my motherboard. I know it's a little bit older compared to today's MSI production.. I have a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU motherboard. I used only VT8233A southbridge's IDE until now, and everything worked perfectly. But now, I bought two Maxtor 80GB disks and placed them to a onboard Promise MBFasttrak 133 Lite (PDC20276) RAID in stripping mode. Everything works, except Soundblaster Live!. The soundcard itself works normally, but when I start to copy some files (and have some MP3's or video's running) the audio gets distorted in rythm with data transfer. I checked IRQs or address spaces, but IDE is on another IRQ than any other device, the same is address space. Had anyone the same experience with this "problem" ? Please let me know...

KT3 Ultra-ARU battle

Hello!
I have a Pentagram Dark 56I modem (Lucent win modem) installed on MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU. Everything is working now except my modem witch does not connect to the internet (only one out of fifty connections is successful). I haven’t got any idea what is wrong and what settings in bios are responsible for the work of internal PCI modem with MSI motherboard. The modem is 100% efficient (it worked fine during 13 months, latest driver, proper settings, checked on another computers), telephone line too. I tried all bioses 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.6, all PCI slots, Windows 98, 98se, Me, 2000, XP pro, PCI latency patch, another mouse and keyboard. Now I am going to suicide ;( . Do you have any idea what else can be wrong (I disconnect every peripheries): broken motherboard, memory (1x256 DDR PC2100, checked in all slots) or my Athlon XP 1800+? ?(

KT3 Ultra ARU PC hangs

Hi there.
I have a MSI KT3 Ultra ARU motherboard, AMD XP 2600+, 2x 256 MB Apacher DDR 333 and a Radeon 9700 Pro card. Yesterday I changed CPU from Thunderbird 1.4 to XP 2600+. I had some memory problems with one of the apacher modules, but everything worked fine afterwards. I must say my computer including the OS (WinXP Pro) has been realy stable up to now, and I have never seen this kind of a hang before.
I was burning a CD (in 4x) while watching a .avi file and the computer hangs. It did not hang fully at the start. First hang nero, then some other programs, then startmeny and desktop, and then the mouse. PC speaker was making a constant bip the whole time until I restarted...
The system booted up, but I was wondering what it could be? I have some feeling it may be a memory problem, and will check that later on, but that will take some time. I hope someone here knows what to doo, and help me solve this problem.
Everyone where I am from tells me to buy intel becouse they say AMD is not as stable as intel. I dont think intel is bether than AMD, and my old Thunderbird was rockstable even at 1636 MHz, overclocked by multiplier.

Hi DataFMT,
Thanks!
You should see my IRQ's, I tried to get them all on a single one :D
It doesn't matter if they are shared or not.
But the trouble is, the APIC does try to seperate them for the CPU's (Yes CPU's) as it's Multi-CPU specification and designed to seperate them in order to let the appropriate CPU handle the IRQ instead of all off them at the same time.
On a single CPU system this is stupid to use as the CPU needs to respond to every IRQ anyway.
Microsoft gas gone totaly nuts on this matter and their article about the APIC is as stupid as it can be.
They are mixing all sorts of (A)Pic's without knowing what they are doing.
Ever wondered why Multi-CPU systems are so hard to get stable when the need for high-load is there?
Every system today has multiple PIC (programmable IRQ controller).
The first old one is called PIC, that one needs to be programmed for every IRQ and has a hard time on IRQ sharing and the OS needs to program it, when you use Standard-PC, that's the one you use.
Not a good one to use as it slows the system down.
So far Microsoft is right.
The next one is the Local-APIC (A=Advanced), this one can share IRQ's without problems and sort of programs itself, ergo, you can't change IRQ's, and there is no need to do so anyway.
This one is used when you enable ACPI and use ACPI-compliant-system.
It's fast, stable and very OS/driver friendly.
Then you have the I/O APIC, in the chipset, that one is the APIC/MPS the BIOS setting controls.
MS screws up here big time, this one translates the real IRQ's into addresses and feeds them to the CPU PIC or Local-APIC, depend if ACPI is enabled or not.
This one is a trouble maker, because the translation isn't needed for a single CPU system and not all drivers like it's behavior.
Another thing is that it needs to buffer a lot, and when driving your system to the limits it can jump IRQ signals because the servicing of them can be a bit behind.
This looks like the system is faster, but a jump can cause a lot of trouble.
Good samples of this happening are running too fast/slow system clock in WinNT/2000/XP when you have a heavy load.
Do a search in google and you see plenty examples.
Another good example of this is caused by Norton, that can disturb the sound when Apic is used.
I have discussed with MSI why APIC was turned on by default, they said it was stupid, but the PC-2001 spec requires this....and guess who wrote the spec???? :D
I have also seen that a lot of other Mobo makers are starting to turn the APIC off by default and let you run with the Local-Apic by default.
A far better choice if you ask me, but then who asks me??? :P

Broken component on MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU mainboard.

Hi Everyone,
A friend of mine has an MSI mainboard which has a broken component due to his screwdriver slipping off the CPU clamp while installing a new CPU.
The mainboard is an MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E) ATX Revision 1.0
The broken component is next to the CPU socket (between the CPU socket and the chipset fan) and is labelled L14 on the mainboard.
I believe it is a Ferrite bead inductor/choke.
We have been unable to find the broken part and would like to replace it. I can fit a new component if I can find out the value of the broken inductor/choke in millihenries or microhenries or picohenries.
Would someone with an - MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E) ATX Revision 1.0 - mainboard, please take a look at the component labelled L14 and let me know what the numbers on that particular component are?
You will probably need a magnifying glass to do this, unless your eyes are very good!
If you know the value of this component, please help!
I would welcome any information on this, it's a shame to scrap a mainboard because of a component costing only a few cents/pence.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps on this, I appreciate you taking time and trouble to help.
Dave - needtoknow.

Hi Bas,
I got the part I needed but not from MSI, they would not sell me one, so I went to a USA company called Mouser Electronics.
http://www.mouser.com/
The part cost me only 34 cents US, shipping was $6.00! So for about £4.00 UK I can fix the board. Better than £20.00 by far.
You can order even very small parts from mouser as a one off, something you can't do with most UK companies. Their range of stock is *huge*.
Thank you very much for getting the info about the part from MSI for me. I could not have repaired it if you had not helped me with that, so I owe you.
Dave, needtoknow.

And the Software:
I've updated all the software drivers so I've got the newest and I'm currently runnign Win2k SP3 with almost every patch installed on it.
And finally the problem:
When I've hook my WD2000JB to the on-board raid everything seems to be working normaly. The bios finds the drive and makes a new array. Win2k boots up and finds the drive and I can create an partition. But when I've try to format it it the computer starts to freeze for a while and then acts like normal again. The HDD-led blinks as it should during the "normal" time, but when the comp. freezes it stops blinking. The formatation stops at 7% and the HDD-led stops lighting. I don't get an error eventhough it was several hours since it stoped. And the formatation takes like 30min for 1%.
When I connect the WD2000JB to the IDE3 I can format it and it acts just like normal. I even did a full system test with the System tool found on Western Digitals support site and it didn't find any errors. But when move it to the raid-IDE the errors return. I've get Error reading / writing to disk and when I've did a chkdsk I've got the "Coudn't use Device) so I did a scandisk and it found very very many errors so it completly ereased everything that was on it.
And when I've run Western Digitals program again i've get an error (Disk error read/writing) error code: 0113.
Can it be that the Western Disk doesn't work well with Raid? I've haven't heard anything about that, so...
Best regars,
Mathias

I've had similar problems where my system becomes very unstable at higher bus speeds. Installing Windows XP simply didn't work very good. However, I have ordered a new PSU today as a solution to this problem. Basically, CPUs and video cards are much more demanding and the more devices you have in your computer the more power you're going to need. I recommend purchasing the Enermax EG465P-VE (FCA) 450W ATX PS. It has a higher amperage rating and will most likely solve your problem.
Check your PSU and your bus speed settings...

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU, FSB for Processor

Help me!
I have a KT3 Ultra ARU, which is lovely, however, I had an XP 1700+ with 512 DDR 266 Ram. The FSB was running at 133. However, i tried to change it, and it wouldn't boot.
Fine, so I resetted Cmos and all was ok.
I have now just installed an XP 2200+ with 512 DDR 333 Ram. My FSB, again, is 133, but i'm sure I read it can go up to 166 for these components. Is that right????
Many thanks in advance,
Jon

I know that the 40.41 drivers were specifically targeted to the vertex shader performance, thus increasing the nature test, however, I don't know what else they did to get such a high performance increase. All I can say is amazing. You can get the drivers here , that is assuming you are running winxp or 2000 as this driver only supports those.
Edit: It is a good idea to burn in your hardware before you go overclocking stuff. You may need to play with clock frequencies for your vid card as I can overclock alot higher then 305/605 but performance (and therefore score) drops significantly. Try different settings and run the test, when you feel comfortable overclocing. Be aware if you have never overclocked, that it can damage you components and void any warranty you have on your hardware.

MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU + All In Wonder Problem

I've got a odd problem that is related to putting my machine into Standby. If I do so the night before, then wake the system up in the morning I see issues that point to memory corruption or driver failure or a conflict with the VIA chipset. Outlook Express will lock up on launch, the ATI digital VCR app will either not launch or fail to shutdown if it does. I clean installed Windows XP, then updated it with XP SP1. Of note is that the video card works ok with the OS supplied driver but if you install the ATI drivers (which are needed to make the TV and Digital VCR work) this stuff happens. I have reinstalled several times so I am pretty sure this isn't just a messy config issue. I've had bad experiences similar to this with VIA chipset mobos in the past so this doesn't surprise me.
Anyone ever see this? Know of a fix?

MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU error

Hi everyone, my motherbord is giving me the 8 or 9 beep code
(8 = Display memory Read/Write test failure, 9 = ROM BIOS checksum failure) guess I need a new motherbord?
I have a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and it has Promise 20276 (raid 0 and 1)
The beeping started after I did a clean install of winxp then a blue screen of death pop-up, when it boot up there was a blank screen then starts to beep
I Strip the system down to RAM, processor and video card only and even change the agp video card to a pci
and clear the bios by change the jumper and taking out the battery
any idea what it could be?
