Bear with me, I don't know much about bios stuff or anything about SATA drives
I just built a system with the following:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
Asus A8V deluxe mobo
2 gigs of Kingston DDR400
Geforce 6600GT
and a SATA Seagate hard drive
It posts, no error beeps or anything, but says I don't have a hard drive.
I get the message Bios not installed.
I can get into the Bios and the primary IDE is not detected (obviously...its not IDE) and the secondary IDE is my DVD drive that works fine.
I thought it wasn't seeing my hard drive but I started pushing buttons (go me!) and found some SATA RAID bios that lists my drive and its size.
I dont know anything about SATA or RAID stuff. I know that on my motherboard there are two sata plugs and two sata raid plugs. The drive is connected in the Sata 1 normal plug...not the raid ones. (I dont know what a RAID is...)
Any...wild guesses? I'm thinking theres some simple setting in the bios I'm not seeing but I cant seem to figure it out.
