AMIBIOS Screen - Help

Hi,

I've recently purchased a 7800GS AGP card for my aging system, as well as a
Hitachi 320gb SATA HD.

I had to reset the CMOS battery by switching the jumpers in my MSI
motherboard. Now, when I boot up my machine, I get the AMIBIOS boot up screen
with the following info:

American Megatrends AMIBIOS
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+
Checking NVRAM..
2097152KB OK
DRAM Clock = 400MHz, SDRAM CAS Latency = 2.5
Del->Setup F11->Boot Menu F8-> Network TAB:Logo ESC:Skip memory
test F12->Flash Recovery

Now, I press DEL or F11 or which ever key as mentioned but nothing happens
whatsoever. The only thing that changes is that the key changes to "Go". For
example, if I press DEL, the Setup portion changes to "Go->Setup". That
happens for every option, but other than that, NOTHING!

What is going on? Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you for reading this.

Regards,
Tony

Did you put the jumpers back to their original position???
What happens when you push "enter" at that GO -Setup screen??

I've fixed it now. I reset the jumpers again, this time leaving them at the
reset state for a longer while.

Now I have another problem since my mobo doesn't detect my SATA disks... oh
****...

Still, thank you for your help.

Look in your new BIOS setup.
You might have to enable SATA recognition.
