BIOS is not installed
Whenever I boot up I get a message saying "BIOS is not installed". The BIOS
*is* installed and seems to work fine and I can boot into Windows XP no problem at all. My motherboard is the MSI K8T Neo. I have been getting the message since I first installed the mobo and I've just flashed the BIOS to update it and I still get the message. Any ideas?

Looking into it further apparently it's because I had a SATA controller enabled (i.e. the default setting) but no SATA drives attached.

This is correct. A SCSI adapter, or a device that emulates SCSI e.g. SATA and Promise ATA cards, will not install its BIOS in memory if no bootable device is detected.
