Hey there.
I recenlty just got this Athlon 750 for fixing a newer athlon for a friend, and I am having some trouble getting it to detect my drives.
I have check, re check, and now have tripple checked to make sure the the jumper settings are corret for the drive, basic 2 drive system master and slave, hard drive and dvd writter.
On post you can see the drives are there and set properly but it will not boot from disk, and when you get in to cmos under "standard settings" only the harddrive is shown. I also have boot from cd set first. The wierd thing about this is a screen on start up "Biostar" comes up and allows me to enter cmos (which is Award) aswell as "F9 To select boot device after POST". When I do this, I can select cd rom and actually boot from disk, but after Windows begining stages of copying files I am stuck at "Set up is start Windows" (in the bottom left hand corner of the blue XP installation screen)
I figure this is because settings are not right and dvd and hard drive are not truely recognized, making them fail in communication.
Here are a list of things I have tried:
- Checked to make sure harddrive was master and dvd was slave.
- Set the harddrive to master, and the dvd to master on seperate channels.
- Ran with only dvd rom set as master, no dvd rom.
- Used a different cdrom device and followed mentioned steps.
- Reset the bios by jumper, incase something was set I was missing.
- Used a different harddrive.
- loaded optimized settings
Things I havent tried?:
- flashing?
- manually setting drive information ?
any help would be great, person who gave it to me said it was working, and I have no idea, I have followed my usualy trouble shoot steps, and here is my last... a forum post.
Please remeber the Biostar allows me to boot, so there isnt something wrong with the drives. (in my mind)
Thanks
