MSI K8MM-V Motherboard, How much support of Hdd capacity in Sata port
SOURCE: SATA PORT NOT WORKING
The universally accepted HDD is the IDE, why are you trying to make it with a SATA? With a IDE you will avoid all the troubles. Yes! SATArequires a change in the BIOS. We can help you do the change, if you know how to do it. Playing with BIOS can cause the entire MB to burn out and destroy itself.

Does it power up if it does do you hear a beep on post screen, Please Briefly explain what is happening my email : [email protected]
SOURCE: M/b cannot recognize SATA HDD
This is common to other mainboards, the SATA controller have it's own BIOS, but it only works correctly using two identical SATA HD's at same time for data protection purposes. If you have a free PCI slot there are expansion cards based on VIA chipset VT6421 with 2 internal SATA ports, other external and one IDE. See one here
SOURCE: how much total Hard Disk capasity supported by my motherboard
I dont see any limitations listed for the chipset used on this board. This would indicate that its new enough to use with most current drives.
It looks like this will take up to 2 Sata drives and can be run in raid as well. The newer Sata drives should work with the controller but you will not get the full speed the newer drives give since the controller is an ata 150.
Here is a link to the page with all the specs for your board.:

Hope this helps...

peets, is this drive a slave drive? if so, make sure you have the jumper ******** the hdd set for "slave" , the instructions that came with it and on top of the hdd itself shows you where that is. You should have it set up for this anyways so you can format it to your liking(i.e. if your going to partition it out or use the whole 320GB for your data). after doing this you will need to go to you bios screen when you boot up your computer(setup). Go to standard or advanced bios settings and see if the new hdd is there, your bios should recognize it, if not, make sure you write down all the info for your hdd (size, cylinders, heads, type) and input the info for a correct installation and when you are finished, make sure you save the info (F10) and (Y) computer will restart and it should see the new hdd. Also, I take it you have CD/DVD driveconnected to your primary SATA or IDE port, this should not be a problem, if so send a msg back.
