HELP!! "Reboot and select proper boot device"is Driving Me NUTZ!
Howdy All, Just put together the following system: Asus P4C800 Deluxe 1 Gb Kensington DDR400/PC3200 HyperX Dual Channel Unbuffered RAM (2x512) Maxtor 80 GB Ultra ATA Connected to IDE 1, set as primary master ---Note: The drive above has an existing installation of Win2K and Apps Creative CD/DVR Connected to IDE 2, set as secondary master Floppy Drive Matrox G550 AGP Thermaltake XLaser III Ultra Tower Here's the Sitch! ON boot, the drives are detected without a problem, in the bios, the drives are detected and articulated. Once the memory check is done, the drives are identified, and then the USB Mass Storage Devices are detected (none attached and none identified). Then, the Promise Raid Controller message comes up and says: SATA378 TX2 Plus (c) (date, and other text) No device found Reboot and select proper boot device or insert. . . and reboot. Can anyone help me out here? Asus Tech Support has yet to call me back as promised. Thanks, PBakulic -- "There's another dead Bishop on the landing!" |

Thanks, PBakulic IIRC you have to set the boot order to the RAID device in the mother board BIOS and also the correct settings in the Controller's BIOS or Vice Versa? do you have a manual for the RAID controller? -- Free Windows/PC help, http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/trouble.html email shepATpartyheld.de Free songs download, http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/nomessiahsmusic.htm |

Have you tried the motherboard's supports/FAQs? Yes I have, they were less than helpful. The RAID controller is integrated onto the mobo, and the manual doesn't really explain the IDE setup very well. It seems like there has to be a way to disable, or toggle a setting for the SATA RAID controller, but I haven't found the right toggle yet. PBakulic -- "There's another dead Bishop on the landing!" |

PBakulic In bios, at main menu select "Advanced" then "Onboard Devices Configuration". The 2nd line will allow you to disable it. BTW, I think you will this in chapter 4.4.4 of the manual. |

I did try that already. It goes to a "Select Proper Boot Device Message" I have also been through section 4.4.4 of the manual a few times. I'm beginning to feel that the 80 Gb drive is the culprit. It was from my system that crashed hard last week, and I'm thinking that because the Win2K installation was done on another box, it may not want to play nicely with the current configuration. I'll change the cables to the new 200 Gb Drive I bought and see if it will at least allow me to format it and install XP. PBakulic -- "There's another dead Bishop on the landing!" |

PBakulic Advanced:Onboard_Devices_Configuration - Onboard Promise Controller {Disabled] ? Maybe that will stop it from bothering you. Paul |

PBakulic Have you selected the 1st, 2nd, 3rd boot device in the bios - "Boot" then "Boot Device Priority"? Chapter 4.6 in manual. Sorry, but failed to catch the information on the hard drive with previous installation of win2k. Would recommend a clean install because using a different MB now will only "confuse" windows. Good luck, ask more questions if needed and post what you did to fix the problem. |

No Change in the message or problem, I even tried using the pop- up window option on boot to select the boot device last night. That was what kind of made me think it was the hard drive. The only boot device shown in the window was the CD/DVD player, so I'm kind of wondering about the HDD and the Floppy. Will advise later on today, I have some obligations.
