Why ASUS BIOS can't detect my HD ?
Hi,
I have one ASUS P2L97 motherboard installed with 266MHz PII CPU. When I tried to boot it up with one HD with Windows 2000 installed. I got below message : Award Modular BIOS v.4.51PG ASUS P2L97 ACPI BIOS Revision 1001 Award Plug and Play BIOS Extension v1.0A Trend ChipAwayVirus(R) On Board Detecting HDD Primary Master ... [Press F4 to skip] Boot sequence halted here. However, I can boot from that HD when it was attached to another Magic Pro PC. To verify the problem wasn't caused by IDE cable, I swapped the original IDE cable with that connecting secondary IDE channel (where CD-RW being connected). The IDE cable is working because BIOS can detect CD-RW with it. Still booting halted at above message. I want to ask why my motherboard can't detect the HD ? Any further testing can be conducted to find out problem source ? |

"Cable Select" may work and will permit you to move it easily to your other system. Also, is the power OK? Can you boot from a floppy disk with, say, MS-DOS on on it? |
