Hello all..its been a while since i felt the need to visit this site. i have learned quite a few tricks since my last visit and have built and or saved alot of computers from demise. I find myself stumped on my latest thrift store find. and asus p4800-e which is the only reason i would ever build a p4 again. i am stuck on finding out how to get it to install windows on an ide drive as it gets all the way through the proccess of loading until it finds the hard drive. it keep saying that the bios will not allow it to boot from this device. upon boot it says no device attached to promise controller and bios not installed. i disabled the promise controller and switched the setup from raid to ide mode and that went away and i got exited but still same outcome on install. i do not have a sata hard drive at my disposal so i have not tried the sata ports. all i have is a couple of old 20g and an 80g seagate. i was able to get my hands on a set of 4 corsiar xtreme speed ddr400 1g memory sticks with the cool led strips so i am trying to build a virtual dj pc for my booth as this set up will look sick. if there are any oldschool p4 builders out there who are familiar with this mobo i would love to hear your feedback.
