QUOTE i have also tried looking for the manual but cant seem to find one anywhere. One didn't come with the motherboard? When you first turned it on, did you go into the BIOS and set the correct Date and Time? If you didn't, you need to. If you did, go into the BIOS and select "Restore Default Settings" and save on exit, then reboot -------------------- Mark

Did you install the drivers for the motherboard?
Did you reinstall Windows on the hdd after you installed the new motherboard, or are you using the same installation from the previous motherboard? -------------------- Lord, may we please have a little more chlorine in the gene pool?

Did you reinstall Windows on the hdd after you installed the new motherboard, or are you using the same installation from the previous motherboard? i cnat install drivers for the board. i dont have any way of accessing the hdd. bios picks up my hdd and my dvd drive but will not boot from either. i've figured that it isnt a ide issue whatsoever. i've tried switched the jumpers, just having one drive (just the hdd or the dvd drive) seperate. i even changed the ide cable. nothing!!! bios picks both of them up when they are installed and they are set in bios as the primary boot device, but it still will not boot. also i tried booting from a floppy disk, that doesnt work. im stuck on the screen above |
