Hello forum, I have the following components
MSI K7N2 v1
AMD Athlon XP 2600+
1GB RAM
80GB ATA Drive
ATA DVD Drive
regular VGA graphics card
Here's the problem, as far as I know I've installed everything correctly, enabled dual channel memory, drives are set as master for the HDD and slave for the ODD, boot sequence is set as HDD-CD-Disabled because there are no other bootable devices, I've managed to install Windows XP from scratch using the CD drive and everything was fine except for a
no drive attached to fasttrack controller the bios is not installed
message that kept popping up, so windows booted correctly until restart, after post I was getting a
INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
so I put the install cd back and it worked, updated drivers and os and shutdown, now it won't boot anymore, the insert disk error is there but as soon as I insert the cd it boots to windows setup instead of booting to hdd
This board has a thing called D-Bracket with 2 USB ports and 4 leds, I know the leds can indicate errors (the board won't beep even with a speaker) and the leds indicate there are no errors (all green)
Here's what I tried
reset cmos
load default settings
load high performance settings
manual boot sequence
dvd drive to secondary ata
removed dvd drive (no boot device found)
board jumpers set to enable manual FSB setting and 133/166 CPU
