I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the p5k deluxe. I have 2 sata hd's and 2 sata dvd drives and when i boot the machine up now and it says "no master drive present" then you have to press f1 to continue. I go ahead and do that and it boots up to vista fine. Anyone know if there is a fix for this??
 
Yeah, dump it or RMA it!

Asus needs to recall most of the damn P5K deluxe boards that are having SATA issues.

It's a new feature in the Asus boards. Your SATA drives disappear @ will and come back whenever they feel like it. Sometimes it takes a while before you can use that expensive piece of hardware!
 
man that sucks... well it works fine now and it just started happening after like almost 3 months of it not coming up. right now I have them in ports 3 and 4 and they are popping up fine now. Is there anyway to fix this without rmaing it??
 
I had to do the same thing. Ports 1 and 2 were failing almost every day. Switched to 3 and 4 and it doens't happen as often!
 
Speaking of boot up errors AthlonXP,did you get one with your P5K-Dlx when you first started up the system with your Q6600 g0 ??

I ask as I noticed you are running the 304 BIOS.

The mother board is not supposed to have support for the g0's with anything under 0404.I still have not been able to confirm that myself.

When I first booted it had already been flashed to the 501 so I was fine.
 
oh yeah, i upgraded to the 0404 bios. I also switched to ahci and did the fix in windows to upgrade the drivers from ide to ahci and the problem is gone now.
