PC Build Error
Posted: Sun May 01, 2011 6:24 am
Nothing is ever easy....finish the build and all seems well. I boot it up and it actually boots, I was floored, I actually did it. I still don't have a Windows OS on it yet so it's just the MB info coming up on screen. As best I could tell everything was working, turned it off and came back later just to have a look at the bios, not change anything just look at what is there. When I turn it on I can see that just after the mobo logo and hardware screen it briefly blinks "No Hard Disk Detected!" After which the screen reads, "Reboot & select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device & press any key to continue."
I have no clue what is going on. I did some web searches, but don't feel like I've seen anything with a clear cut answer. Most suggestions are to make the CD drive the boot drive, I did that and still get the same error message. I can press the "Delete" key during the bootup and still get to the BIOS.
In the Advance mode SATA Mode is set to AHCI
SATA6G_1 Hitiachi HDD(so it sees the drive)
SATA6G-2 TS5 Cd (it's seeing this one too)
Boot Setup under Advanced
BootUp Numlock State - On
Full Screen Logo - Enabled
Wait for F1 Error - Enabled
Option ROM Message - Force BIOS
SetUp Mode - EZ
Boot Option Priorities
Boot #1 - P1 Hitachi HDD
Boot #2 - TS5 CD
It appears it is seeing the HDD and CD drive, both drives are SATA 3Gb, but plugged into the 6Gb, I just wanted to use the SATA 1 and SATA 2 connections even though they are 6Gb. I read where that was ok to do.
The MB is an ASUS P8P67 Pro and the BIOS is version 2.00.1201
Baffled at this point, not sure why it worked the first time, and now this error. Any help would be greatly, hugely, stupendously appreciated. Any other info that I can give to help you help me just let me know.
