Greetings.

am looking for a utility that will do a diagnostic on my SATA RAID array. I
have a feeling that one of my Maxtors is failing and this is a RAID0 setup.
I have googled for it and haven't found anything yet, am just wondering if
anyone has heard of anything.

For the last day or so I have noticed some odd problems with my system which
consists of the following:
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum BIOS 1.B
Athlon 4000+ 939

I have a MSI K8N Neo 2 motherboard with a 36gig SCSI drive connected to a
PCI SCSI card and two SATA drives configured to SATA ports 3 & 4.   I want
the SCSI drive to be the boot drive for WinXP.   My problem is that when I
go through the Windows setup, the SCSI drive is the 'E' ...

I have a machine in which I recently upgraded several components and
assummed that my Antec True 430w would handle the job. However, since
upgrading, I've experienced some strange issues that seem to manifest in two

  I am experiencing serious issues with an onboard Promise Technologies
FastTrak579/SataII 150 controller and device driver running WinXP Pro SP2.
When I install the drivers for this device, I begin to get stop errors on
bootup and must boot to safemode to disable the device.  ...

Was wondering if MSI had a cpu/motherboard temperature sensor alert program.
I poked around but didnt see anything.  The chipset fan on my K7D master has
gone out again.  This time oil will not cure the problem.  It would be nice
if I had a temp sensor that would alert me that ...

My have to replace my motherboard -  a K8N Neo Platinum. Have seen the
K8N Neo-FSR, from its spec I assume it is the same, apart from only 2
rather than 3 Ram slots?
Thanks

As I posted earlier this week, in a thread entitled  "MS 7025__Issues after
upgrading Hardware & BIOS" (03\19), I've been having POST issues at the IDE
detection stage. Having performed multiple upgrades on this machine just
prior to the problems, identifying the cause of the issues ...

is it possible for a usb device to take down a motherboard?
the last thing i did to a k8n neo pro motherboard that had been working
flawlessly for 18 months was to test out an old usb scanner that had
been sitting around.

Sorry guys.  The spam stuff was not my intent.  I do oppoligies and won't
happen again.  I have never been on newsgroups before and not sure how to
work them. I hope you guys can forgive a bad choice.  Murphey

My K7N2 Delta-LSR is currently running nVidia Raid IDE ROM Bios 4.52.
Is the firmware for this controller separate to the motherboard bios?
If so, where can I get the latest version?
I've searched extensively throughout the MSI and nVidia websites but to
