Will the MSI Combo drive work w/ non-Intel boards someday?

I found out, after I'd gotten an MSI SATA combo drive for my MSI nVidia chipset motherboard and been using it for a few weeks, that the MSI drive is not supposed to be used with my board.  This would explain the stalling errors I'm getting while trying to burn CD's.  I've got the latest firmware on the CD-ROM, by the way - version 1.20.  The MSI Live Update software only knows about version 1.10.
The product page says it's only supposed to be used with boards that have certain Intel chipsets.  Is this a firmware limitation - in other words, will there be a software fix for this problem someday?  Or should I just get rid of the drive now?

But that just doesn't make sense.  I have a motherboard that is advertised as having "SATA" connectors and a Combo drive that is advertised as being "SATA", and they are made by the same manufacturer, yet they don't work with each other.  Where is the defect?  Is it in the motherboard or is it in the drive?  Surely it is not the SATA spec itself, otherwise the SATA spec is meaningless.
Going by MSI's page for the Combo drive, I would assume the problem is in the drive because they say "only works with Intel xxx, yyy, zzz chipset motherboards".
I just want to know if one or the other will be fixed (in software) someday so that I can use this Combo drive's burning capabilities.  That's all.

    Will the lightning USB adapter work with regular USB jump drives?

    Not really.
    Technically, with some USB drives (I've had a 50% success rate) you can import photos or videos off the drive - thi those photos or video follow a very strict naming convention.
    But you cannot import anything but photos or video and there is zero support to write off the iPad to the flash drive....so while it technically may work, it's so limited to effectively not work.

  • If I create a restore point will I have the old sound driver working

    I got this notice:
    "Dear Customer,
    You can enjoy improved sound when you use an updated sound driver on the pre-installed sound system
    on your notebook.
    To install the updated sound driver follow the steps below:
    1. Click Start and click Control Panel.
    2. In the Control Panel Home view, click Uninstall a program
    3. Select Realtek High Definition Audio Driver and uninstall the driver by following the instructions on
    the screen.
    4. Download the updated driver from the Toshiba website
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/sound-20080305155003.zip
    5. Unpack the downloaded driver.
    6. Change to the driver folder and double click the Setup.exe to start the installation.
    7. Follow the instructions on the screen."
    May I ask
    If I create a restore point before ding this, if it all goes wrong will I be able to system restore and have the old sound driver working?
    Is the driver folder found in Device Manager and Sound, Video and Game Controllers?
    Many thanks.
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    Yes, if you would create the restore point before you will perform the driver installation then you will be able to restore the system to the early time point and you will get the old sound driver back on you system.
    I think this is a good idea to create the restore point.
    Bye

  • Will a WD hard drive work with AirPort Extreme to connect with an iPad Air

    Will a WD hard drive work with Airport Extreme to connect by a iPad Air

    If you already have an AE and a WD drive .. the best idea is plug it in and see on a mac in airport utility is the drive recognised.
    If not you have problems.. if it is formatted correctly (Not NTFS mainly) then it can be a drive that is not compatible.
    assuming it works get your ipad and pay for filebrowser or at least download a test copy and see how it goes.
    Always the best way to find out.. try it.

  • Will the iphone 6 plus work in pakistan if i buy the unlocked and contract free version from the apple store?

    will the iphone 6 plus work in pakistan if i buy the unlocked and contract free version from the apple store? why is t mobile written on top of the button? it is so confusing no one will give me a straight answer on this. if i buy that one, would there be any monthly charges involved or not?

    Are you planning on flying to and visiting the US?  That is the only way you are going to get an iPhone from the Apple store because you will not be able to purchase one from the Apple store online and get it sent to Pakistan - it can't be done and Apple online stores will not ship internationally.
    You have not got a straight answer to this question because there is none.  The phone has T-Mobile on the top button, because it is a T-Mobile phone and although sold as contract free, but NOT unlocked - notice the difference, it still comes with a T-Mobile sim card.
    The phone may or may not work in Paskistan and if you do buy the phone, to ensure that it has the best possible chance of working is to take the T-Mobile sim card out of the phone first and DO NOT activate the phone using the T-Mobile sim.  If you want to use it in Pakistan, then activate it with your local Pakistan sim card and you will not be paying any charges to T-Mobile if you do this.  If you do happen to accidentally activate the phone with the T-Mobile sim card in it, then you will have a contract with them and yes, you will have a monthly bill with T-Mobile and you will need to keep this contract for 40 days, until you can get the phone unlocked by them.
    Also note, that if you buy the phone it may not work on 4G networks in Pakistan due to frequency differences and also you will have no warranty cover for the phone in Pakistan - iPhone warranty is NOT international, so country of original purchase, so the US, which means you have to fly back there - no postage accepted.
    So basically, the phone should work in Pakistan, but not on the 4G networks and you need to take the T-Mobile sim card out before you activate it and activate it using a local sim card and you will have NO warranty cover for the phone in Pakistan.

    As you quote the price in 'Pounds' I'm assuming you are in the UK!
    You might want to consider one of these from Amazon.  I have one on my MBA and it works well.

  • K8N Neo2 Platinum - Is the MSI IDE Driver required to run SATA RAID

    I am using Windows XP and am booting from an IDE Disk.
    I then added 2 x SATA Disks for RAID.
    I changed the BIOS, Configured the Striping RAID Set and booted from the IDE Disk.
    The PC detected the RAID Controller and I loaded the Driver.
    Whatever I do the PC will only recognise the two SATA Drives as single drives not a RAID Set.
    I did not load the MSI IDE Driver because I had read some threads that suggested there were problems with this.
    I think the thread was related to problems with the errors in the Event Log related to the RAID driver.
    Thanks
    Richard

    Suggest you read The Nvidia Raid Guide

    I'm not so sure about that. I'd say the jury's still out until someone gets one and tries to use it single-link.

  • Will the MSI KM4M-V fit in a normal ATX case?

    Hello all. Just wondering if I could get away with buying a normal size ATX case, and therefore add my own, decent, PSU. All the Micro ATX cases on  Ebuyer come with a crappy 300W PSU or similar.
    This is the spec I'm thinking of getting together:
    Crucial 512MB ram PC3200 400FSB
    Maxtor 80GB
    AMD Athlon XP2800+
    500W ATX Ebuyer PSU
    All my customer wants it for is to browse the internet and use MS Office. I know the spec is higher than her requirements but I'm hoping to build her something to last for at least 3 years. Will the MSI KM4M-V board bottleneck those components, and so will I be wasting my money?
    Thanks all , Mark.
