A7V ATA100 Boot Problem
Last response: in Motherboards
My system is as follows:
A7V V1.02
Bios 1004d
Promise Build 33
Windows 98SE
NVidia TNT2 M64
Maxtor ATA100 7200RPM 30G
SB128
Enlight 300W Case
CPU temp Maximum 52 degrees.
I just put it together and it's working great. The only problem I'm having is moving my hard disk from the primary IDE to the ATA100. When I do this, the hard disk is correctly regognized by the ATA Bios (yeah), but then fails boot with the following error message.
---------------------------------------------------------
TrendChipAwayVirus has detected a boot virus on your hard disk.
Press <enter> for more information
Press <c> to continue
------------------------------------------------------
This message is in a red square with yellow lettering. Continuing gets you nowhere. I disabled boot virus in the bios (knowing it wouldn't help) and it didn't help. I just formatted this hard disk and I ran Norton and PC Cillin virus scan to make sure. I'm convinced this disk does not have a virus.
My next step for lack of a better idea is to load Promise Build 25 since I've read that it might be more stable. I haven't read anything that would suggest this is a Bios issue. Has anybody out there seen this error before? Could this be a compatibility issue with Maxtor?
Any help is appreciated.

I agree with Bubba. Also, update the BIOS to 1005c. The Ultra DMA/100 driver v1.6 build 33 is definitely the better version. Also, do not shadow your BIOS to RAM. Disable all virus checking. Switch your HD to the ATA/100 slot. In BIOS 1005 you will get an error message but should be able to ignore it by hitting enter. If this works then you will need to re-enable the BOOT Virus checking to get rid of the boot error message.
