MBUltra133 (PDC20276) Bios not installed because there are no drives attached?
I noticed that my system clock was reported as 1742 instead of the
1733 it should be. I decided to see if maybe I had inadvertently selected top performance. I looked and top performance was off so I decided to turn it on to see if it would change anything. It did. So I turned off by loading optimized performance. Then I had a problem. The system would not boot. After the initial screen I get a screen that has: Detecting \ With a spining line. After a while I then get: MBUltra133 (PDC20276) Bios not installed because there are no drives attached After that it will sometimes boot up into XP normally sometimes not. Have I somehow initiated a bios installation without knowing it? Have I done something to make the disk drive unstable and unrecognizable? I have never reset the CMOS so I don't know how to do that. Anyone know what this might be? Thanks! Don

Okay, I figured it out. When you load optimized settings it also
enables all the features you had turned off. In this case the RAID controller was turned back on and there were no drives plugged into IDE 3 and 4.
