Board: Intel D945GCPE
Configuration:
IDE Single Channel = One IDE DVD Reader and One IDE 40GB WD Hard Disk
SATA Channel 0 = 1TB WD Caviar Green 10EARS
SATA Channel 1 = Samsung DVD Writer
Intended Use: Fresh Install XP Pro SP3 on WD 40 GB Drive and Use WD 1TB for Storage.
(As of present previously installed XP is on the 40GB hard disk but does not boot up when system is powered up after installing the drives) Startup message Please check the Boot Device and Press any Key : (
Are there any particular BIOS Settings or jumper settings for the DVD drives and Hard Disks to Be Recognized without error and for the system to boot up as before?
On the IDE Channel The Hard Disk has the jumper set to master and the DVD Reader has no jumper and installed on the end of the cable as slave. The SATA devices show up on BIOS, but the Primary IDE Master and Primary IDE Slave show up as "Not Installed" in the BIOS!
Neither the new SATA DVD Writer or 1TB Hard Disk came with Jumpers, and it was mentioned something about setting a jumper on the 1TB hard disk for Windows XP to do some Advanced Format Stuff. The problem is am trying to help my dad install his computer over the net from abroad and it's becoming quite a hassle since I don't know the exact menu or settings available on that particular motherboard. Please do mention in steps (as example below), so that I can communicate the same to him.
Eg: On Startup Press F"Number"
Under Configuration Tab/Boot Tab > Hard Drive Configuration/Boot Device Configuration > etc.
Thanks and Any Help will be appreciated.
