I am currently setting up a new system: KT7 RAID, 1GHz TB, 40 Gig Max HD, Asus 7700-Deluxe GeForce2 GTS, SB Live MP3+5.1, HP 8100i CD-R/RW. In reading some of the posts, it might have been a bad idea to get the RAID board if I'm not going to use it.
Unfortunately I can't see how slick this system will be since I can't even format the hard drive. The KT7 doesn't seem to be working properly. At first I thought I had a bad FD, but I changed both it and the cable out with one from my other system and that didn't fix it either (cables were installed and seated correctly).
Sometimes the system will lock up on "Verifying DMI Pool Data...", but most of the time it tries to read the FD in order to boot and I get the following message;
"Disk I/O Error; Replace the disk and press any key"
I tried many different BIOS settings and also tried removing all cards but the video card and FD. It wouldn't boot from the floppy. I got the same error message. I tried booting with three different boot disks, no luck. I tried these same disks in my other system and they worked fine.
One odd thing did happen early on in the process. My system booted once from the floppy and I was able to partition HD, or so it seemed. Then I rebooted the system at that time(since it hadn't recognized the HD and wouldn't allow me to format it). 300 reboots later and I cannot get the board to read from the floppy.
Is there something simple I'm missing...or is the FDD connector on the board bad? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
