A7N8x won't boot from SATA?

[rebturtle]

I haven't been able to get my new A7N8x to boot either from the onboard serial ATA port, or from my adapter (HighPoint RocketRaid 1540). There's a setting in the bios to boot from SCSI, but that doesn't appear to do it. I had to move my C from the RocketRaid to the ATA133 port in order to boot. No apparent help in the manual or on ASUS's site. Any ideas?

Have you tried the BIOS option :- Boot from other device?

Also, If your operating system was installed on a previous setup you'll likely have to reinstall it again. Remember to hit F6 when prompted at the start of the installation (W2k/XP) to install your adapter

One day I'll look back at my current rig the way I do my old ZX Spectrum.......Would have been interesting to say the least if Sir Clive had Bill G's business skills

Has your HD been partitioned and made active?

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.
