Hi Guys,
a bit of help please.
I have just built a new system everything seemed to go ok, until I
tried
to instal the OS but the coputer said 'No Disk is Detected'

Ok, the system is:
(Eventually MS VISTA)
ASUS P5K Pro MoBo, with 2 Gigs RDDR2 Ram
1 x WD SATA HDD
Intel Core2 Duo CPU
The boot up screen is as follows:
DD2-667 in Dual Channel Interlved mode
Initialising Usb Controllers DONE
2048
USB Devices 1 Keyboare 1 Mouse
Auto Detecting SATA1...........IDE Hard Drive
Auto Detecting SATA2...........APAPI CD-Rom

BIOS:
the defalt for the SATA Configuration Choice was IDe/RAID/AHCI I
selected IDE

The other screen I get is as Follows:
Maravel 88SE61xx Adpater - Bios v1.1.0.L64
Adapter 1
NO DISK DETECTED.

What have I not done or what do I need to do to solve the problem(No
Disk
Detected)

Thanks and Regards
BOB H




whenever this q is posted the MoBo just always seems to be ASUS......

scroll down to Salah's comments, I had to do the very same with an ASUS
mobo.

It was in 2004 (the date of the link above) that I had a similar problem
with an Asus board: no disk detected.
In the BIOS I set the first HDD as SCUSSI, just to see what would happen,
and it worked.
The Asus board that I used last year (M2A-VM HDMI) had the drivers and was
OK straight off.
This month I slipstreamed XP Pro SP" with SP3, using nLite, then formatted
the HD and installed XP ignoring the SATA bit and it worked. Not sure that
it's running as SATA though(?).

You don't understand Newton's Third Law of Motion?
It's not rocket science, you know.

yes probably just the earlier ASUS SATA boards were affected........

That first board didn't even have the SATA drivers on the CD; a friend
found them and e-mailed them to me.
