| 866269 | 2010-03-12 01:24:00 | pctek, I can't boot from a cd CD drive is attached to motherboard through a pci - ide am going to try a sata dvd drive No good with the SATA DVD drive |

| 866270 | 2010-03-12 01:27:00 | Did you try what I edited in Post 9 ?? OR try without a HDD at all, No Hdd attached shouldn't stop the CD from booting. This is ONLY to test the other Hardware, no point in chasing a faulty system if the hardware has been damaged. |

| 866271 | 2010-03-12 01:41:00 | Correction: SATA DVD drive does boot - does not recognize any hard drive Pulled the SATA DVD installed another SATA hdd won't boot |

| 866272 | 2010-03-12 01:43:00 | Is AHCI enabled in the BIOS?? If it is, disable it / change it to IDE mode. Thats if its got SATA ports onboard | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 866273 | 2010-03-12 02:07:00 | The only adjustment option the bios has is listed under SATA Operation: Raid Autodetect . ATA or Raid On Currectly it is set to Raid On |

| 866274 | 2010-03-12 02:19:00 | Are you using RAID?? if youre not disable it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 866275 | 2010-03-12 02:26:00 | Disabled raid reboot, error: "Drive 1 not found: Serial ATA, SATA-1" note this is with a different SATA drive |

| 866276 | 2010-03-12 02:28:00 | So does this thing have sata ports on it at all? Or are you using PCI SATA cards? And what have you connected these SATA hdds to now? You did connect the power and data cables to these SATA hdd's right?? Since, you need 2 cables | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
