Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read this message.
Four days ago I went to a computer show and bought an Asus P4C800-E deluxe mobo, 1024MB or RAM, Intel Pentium4 3.0Ghz CPU.
The next day I removed the old Asus A7V133 mobo and installed the
P4C800-E. Installed all the cards etc.
I fired it up and this is what I saw at post:
First the post screen with the Asus Logo.
Then it went to a blank screen that stated:
SATA 378 TX2 plus (tm) BIOS 1.00.0.3
c 2000 -2005 Promise Technology All rights reserved
Then the system was snooping around for something which stated:
Detecting ..........
Then :
No device found !
Bios not installed.
The system went to the usual Start Windows normally, safe mode etc.
I selected normally and the system just kept on looping from the beginning LOGO to the selection of Start Windows normally, safe mode over and over.
Finally, I said the heck with it and formatted the H.D.D. and install windows XP.
This time the system fired up into Windows XP to the desktop.
I continued to get the same screen after the post and LOGO:
SATA378 TX2 plus etc.etc. etc.
I was wondering if "NO DEVICES" were found and "BIOS NOT INSTALLED" then why was the system booting into Windows XP :suspiciou
I went to Asus.com and got the newest BIOS, created a bootable disk and Flashed the BIOS by using AFUDOS ..... afudos /i<filename>
where <filename> was the name of the new BIOS. The new BIOS was installed.
I still keep on getting the second screen No Device found !
BIOS not Installed
I am now thinking the system is looking for SATA devices and BIOS. I am not currently using any SATA device.
I do not know what is happening.... Could one of you "Pro's" straighten me out and let me know what is happening ?
Any information will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Rick M.
