Hi all,
Asus a7v133 bios rev8
Any ideas why my pc did not display the full post screen when it locked
up (twice in succession).
The next time it booted fine. I have booted ok about 30+ times since.
It cut into words like (press delete to ent) leaving out the "er".
regards peter

I think i scr**ed up and don't know how.
a system i got from a friend a while ago had a bad hard drive.
i bought a new one 160g that connects through the sata cable
at first it recognized it in the start up but i couldnt get my windows
to install since i guess i payed 180$ for a flippen upgrade disk
instead full version os.
and dont own an old v. of windows
tried hooking up a very old 40g hard drive thinking i can install over
that then go from there but it wouldnt recognize the 40g hd. checked
the web and read a post on a site that told me to reset bios config
and now of course not only didnt work but i no longer see my 160g hd.
any suggestions....?
Check SATA is enabled in BIOS, default may be DISABLED. Drive should be
detected in BIOS. You may need to install SATA driver from diskette at start
of install. See if yo can get a Win98 CD on Ebay.
