Hello,
when booting I receive the following message:
No devices found, no BIOS installed.
This error message appears even without XP installed, so one would suggest it is a BIOS setting, but I can't solve it.
So here is my situation:
- MSI 875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0) mainboard with A6758 BIOS version
- 2 harddisks on Primary and secondary harddisk controller, with DVD players as slave
- On the third IDE controller 2 IDE HDD's
- 1 S-ATA drive on the Promise controller
BIOS settings:
Integrated Peripherals:
- On board Promise IDE = as S-ATA
On Chip IDE configuration:
- P-ATA only
- S-ATA keep enabled = NO (wouldn't know what this means)
- P-ATA channel selection = Both - S-ATA ports defintion: P0-4th/ P1-3rd (standard setting)
- Config as RAID = NO
Also I have the Promise drivers installed within XP, a WinXP Promise378 SATA IDE controller is being recognized. Did a fresh install of XP including installing the WinXP Promise378 SATA drivers from a floppy disk by hitting F6
What I am wondering now is:
Is it true the Promise controll controls the 3rd IDE controller as well as the S-ATA HDD? And if so can someone please tell what would be the correct settings in the BIOS when having 2 IDE HDD's connnected to the third IDE controller and 1 S-ATA disk on the Promise controller?
Because the strange thing only 1 IDE HDD of the 3rd IDE controller is being recognized by XP, the other IDE HDD and S-ATA not.
Hope you can help me out, 'cause I'm totally lost :-(
