Msi Ms-6741 Driver For Mac

On

Jan 20, 2007  I have looked on the MSI website to try and find the driver but cannot find it anywhere. If anyone can help me either with the installation or finding the driver it would be a massive help:azn: or if anyone can tell me on which type of RAID i should be using i.e the level. MS 6741 - Windows XP Installation Problem. SMF ©2018, Simple.

Hi all, i have been ripping my hair out for 24 hours about this machine. It is a TINY PC with a MS-6741 mainboard. It previously had 2 SATA HDDs installed, both 200GB. 1 had XP installed on it and the other just data. The OS disk failed, many many bad sectors and errors. I bought a new SATA HDD (WD2500AAJS) and thought i would be able to install xp from either the tiny restore disk, or a standard windows xp disk.

First problem (although not the worst) is that the BIOS does not recognise the 250 GB new disk, not one bit. Checked the sata cable, checked the power, checked the disk in another machine; all fine. So after some swearing I decided to copy the data off the data disk and use a disk the BIOS was recognising. The mobo recognises it fine, but when i get to the xp setup to select disks and partitions it says 'no disk available'. I did some reading and many people suggest that the XP setup disk doesn't have drivers to make SATA work, they suggest downloading the raid/sata driver from the mobo manufacturer website and pressing F6 at the start of setup, copying the drivers to a floppy and letting xp setup find the drivers and use them.

I tried that, i tried both the drivers listed for raid on the MSI support page for this mobo, i tried getting the drivers for the VIA VT8237 SATA controller, they didn't work. I have tried upgrading the bios, flashing it from a win 98 boot disk, following the instructions on this page This as far as i can see didn't work, it launched the flash utility fine, said 'deleting' and then 'programming' and said both had completed successfully. I restarted, went into the bios and the bios version hadn't changed. The only difference when i turned it on was that it said 'CMOS settings wrong'. I am at my wits end, i have no idea what else to try.

I read somewhere that TINY used to make their own version of BIOS which only allowed certain HDDs, maybe they stop you flashing the bios, certainly there is no setting in the existing bios saying, 'protect bios' or 'don't allow bios flashing'. I would greatly appreciate any help. Many Thanks James.
