Got it fixed at last!
What I did:
Created a custom made xp pro with sp2 cd including all Ultra-D related drivers except audio with NLite (Including audio usually crashes Nlite). Installed the OS and still found the volumes to be missing, then updated with latest Nforce drivers including the...
Dear All,
Purchased a new DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra and a GeForce 7800 yesterday and installed XP Pro SP2 from scratch. The drive configuration is 60 GB Seagate IDE and 2x200 GB SATA Seagate. The SATAs are detected in Bios however, not visible to XP.
Tried changing cables, Bios update...
Thanks a lot for replies everyone. Seagates have never failed on me and they have always been my only choice for HDDs. At last I can get rid of that Maxtor from my PC and add the SG 200G SATA as the secondary drive.
Thanks again.
Cheers :)
Dear All,
I'm planning to buy the Seagate 200G 7200RPM S-ATA (ST3200822AS) Drive soon.
Any comments / experiences would be very much appreciated.
This will be used in a MSI K8N Neo2 / AMD 3500 Setup.
Many thanks. :)
Have been running a MSI Neo2 K8N Plat for some time. It's a fantastic board and no complains.
As suggested by many you can't go wrong with either MSI or ASUS.
Cheers.
Andres3605, Thanks a lot for your reply. I saw that file already when I googled for the firewall docs. It's strange, Nvidia goes and makes a good product and the docs for it are non-existent or at least very difficult to find.
Would be glad if anyone can point to the docs.
Cheers. :)
Dear All,
Can any of you please point me to a site where I could get the docs for the firewall coming with MSI K8N Neo2? It's seems to be a nice firewall but so far I couldn't locate the documentation.
It needn't be mobo specific but for the Firewall version coming with Nforce3 Ultra would...
Machiavelli,
Thanks a lot for the reply. In fact, the reason I doubted this procedure was, some were emphasizing that raid drivers should be installed during XP installation. I wondered whether nforce raid was an exception which doesn't allow to be installed manually after the xp...
Hi Evereyone,
I installed XP in an IDE drive and during the installation, I forgot to install the Nforce RAID driver from the diskette :(. I didn't have time yet to try a through manual installation of the driver after XP installation is completed, however I wonder anyone has any experience...
XRaider is right. Try changing the boot priority to CDROM and restart with XP CD inside.
I installed my system few days ago, (very similar to yours except 3500+, 512MB and 9800 Pro) and the new setup didn't boot with my old XP. So I just did a fresh installation and all is well.
Btw...
Dear All,
With the latest Bios update solving all the problems of this board, is it worth going for this over MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum? I'm in Korea and Neo2 is still not available here for sale! :(
kxm9976, No problem. Your question only complements mine.
On the same note, I'm also looking at DDR GeIL 512M PC3500. Comments on our requests would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
