Hello,
I've just purchased A7V KT133, AMD's Thunderbird 1GHz, 128MB PC133 RAM and a new tower case. I'm having a problem getting it to work.
I'll explain: I've managed to install the motherboard, CPU, CPU's fan, memory and the hard disk into the case, successfully. But I'm having a problem detecting my hard drive when the computer boots up. The BIOS sees the hard disk but the motherboard refuses to boot up with it. The hard disk is Quantum make and is UltraDMA/66. I've tried connecting the disk to primary IDE controler, secondary IDE controler, then I get a message:
"Ultra 100 BIOS is not installed because there are no drivers attached.".
If I connect to primary or secondary Ultra ATA100 IDE controler the disk isn't detected, which didn't supprise me. I've tried using both types of cables, UltraDMA 100 and 33 compatible. And no go, the computer just sits there beeping at me
I've tried to fiddle with the frequency multiplier which is at 10.0, I've tried to bring it down to 9.0, but the PC wouldn't boot then. External frequency setting is at 100MHz.
I know that the disk is working since I took it out of my old PC.
What do I do next to get this thing to work ?
Thanks for your time
