Hi,
I can really use some help, Im at my witts end (not saying much though). I'm building my first AMD system, a Thunderbird 1.1 G, with an ASUS A7V rev 1.02 board, 256M of NEC PC-133 which is configured for AMD systems, and a Western Digital 30 G Ultra ATA 100 disk. The A7V ATA controller cant detect my disk no matter what. Im using jumper free mode for my board's set up. I'm using the 40-pin 80-conductor cable that came with the board, have tried the disk's jumper in every setting, have used a second 40-pin 80-conductor cable, have taken a drive out of my system at work, a western dig. ultra 66, and tried it, all resulting in the board not detecting the drive. If I use a standard IDE cable and use the boards Primary IDE Connector, it detects the drive but then when booting, I get a message saying that the system cant detect an Ultra 100 device and the bios is being loaded.
Is there anything else I can do? I cant find anything in the board's manual that offers any help.
Does this sound like a deffective main board?? Is there a setting in the bios that I have over looked which is needed to detect an Ultra ATA device??
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Mark
