Hi, I build a new pc, but I'm having problems getting it to work properly... or work at all. First of all, here are my specs:
Motherboard: ASUS P4C800
Hard Drive: Maxtor 120GB
SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM-352B ATA Device
SONY DVD RW DW-U10A ATA Device
RAM: 1024 MB
Floppy/Media card reader: Addonics
Well as to what my problem is: "The BIOS is not installed"
The Optical Drives are hooked up to the Secondary IDE
The Hard Drive is hooked up to the Primary IDE (Master)
The 2 RAM cards are in the same color (blue) RAM slots
Floppy is connected perfectly, the media card isnt because i dont have any extra cable.
All are hooked up to the power source (battery).
I'll make this STEP-BY-STEP so it's clear, because it's kinda complicated.
This is BEFORE I installed VISTA Home Premium
1) I start my computer
2) Next screen
3) Next screen
If you press the numbers 1-3 it shows nothing, but when you press on number 0, it says:
"NTLDR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restar"
4) This screen is after i press Ctrl+Alt+Del
-- PC restarts:
-- Then it shows this screen :
It says: "FastTrak 378 (tm) BIOS Version 1.00.0.37
(c) 2003 Promise Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
No drive attached to FastTrak controller, The BIOS is not installed."
5) Lastly it takes me back to:
Any ideas as to why this happens?
Then I installed VISTA... [To Be Continued]
