Ok, Last night i was finishing working on the mods of my G/F's new tower and my last step was to flash the bios with abit's new window's program. After it was done it restarted and i went into the bios to change the settings back, and i noticed that in the advanced where the boot menu was, it was as usually but one thing had change. THe first thing you see is Boot add in cards, so i changed that to now its called "on board sata raid" which her sata drive is her main os, I have the sata pluged into sata 2 because sata 1 got pent and broke during some testing of mine. I figure she has one sata drive no problem i will just use 2. Well after i made all the right changes and it was poiting to the sata for first boot i saved and exit. Well it restarted and never posted.. So i was ok maybe it was a setting, so i removed the battery and cleared the cmos so i could get back into the bios. Once i was back in i did the same thing double checking all my settings and i got the same result. So i thought maybe it was the bios so i grap a floppy that had a little older version of the bios and flashed it from the floppy. Once i back into the bois the things looked the same which is ok, i double checked temps and such, CPU idleing at 30 which is great. I changed the boot order again so the sata boots before the IDE's and it does the same thing. One thing i did notice with these new bios' it show's a screen where i can tab into a raid setup, well there is no raid so it still should boot. So my question is does anyone have any clue is why this thing is not booting. Is it because one of the sata's is broke and i am using the number 2 sata? Or is there some setting i did not see? Suggestions welcome.
Thanks
