Yes, now once new BIOS installed, you have to load system defaults or all settings are the same as before. Enter BIOS to do this, re-boot, then enter BIOS again to set up boot order & specific setting for your drives where neccessary etc.	SolMiester (139)

Every time i reboot the SATA shows up but i always get " ATAPI incompatable " no matter how i have the dvd set up. I have even tried the IDE no 1 slot, with all variations of the jack on the back of dvd, i have set everything else [besides hardrive] to CDROM, and i just get a lot of beeps at start, and NOT COMPATABLE shows up on the post with every position. Every time i restart, i get a sign saying, " new hardware was found but failed during insatalation, " At the moment i have the SATA hard drive on the Sata no-1 position and the dvd with an sata adaptor on it and connected to no 2 sata on the m/b. The hardrive comes up as no 3 Primary but the dvd always comes up as " ATAPI incompatable " no matter which way i put the jack on the back of the dvd. IF the motherboard is stuffed, i will get another but i feel that its something just not right, but buggered if i know whats causing the trouble.	Tontoe (9961)
