Re: Question about my BIOS



If you have the version of the P4PE that has a Promise SATA controller
onboard, and you have no SATA drive connected to it, you'll get the "no BIOS
installed" message at startup. This refers to the Promise controller's BIOS,
which is in addition to the mainboard's BIOS.

It's similar to what you'd get with the SCSI controller another poster
mentioned.
