Hi all,

Just built a new rig for a mate of mine with the following components:

E6700 C2D
Asus p5k Premium wifi
Seagate Barracuda 250 gig HD
Etc, Etc

As stated, this is a brand new build with a fresh install of Windows xp Professional.

On Posting I get the following error message:

'No IDE HDD Detected - press F1 to continue'

On pressing F1 to continue, the system boots fine into Windows and all is fine and dandy.

Does anyone know what causes this message and how can it be eliminated please.

Thanks :)
 
Its sata 2 and the error message is actually:

NO IDE MASTER HDD DETECTED. PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE.

I cannot see a jumper on the hdd and don't know what the relevance is in any event. Is there just a setting in the bios that I need to disable?

I also had the same error message occur in another build about a year ago and that was with a P5K Wifi deluxe.

I have built machines with a P5K combo and more recently a X38 Maximus Formula and not had this message.

Any clues?
 
thanks for all the input guys.

I've fixed it now. It was as simple as moving the sata lead to sata port 1 in stead of sata port 3 as I accidentally had it! School boy error but got there in the end!

Cheers anyway

;)
