asus k8v se deluxe help

[gunrun911]

I installed win xp on my amd 64 3200 with the asus k8v se deluxe mb.. in the bios i picked raid for the hd.. i dont have raid i have sata only.. should i switch it to ide??

when the computer boots it says , searching for ide drives.. it says none found and bios not installed.. i think its looking for a raid hdd? it then loads win xp fine with no problem.

When i go into device hardware properties in xp , the device driver for sata raid has a yellow mark next to it indicating its not working..

how do i fix this problem and also when it boots it looks for ide devices or a raid hdd i think?? boot xp loads fine.

also it says cpu fan error.. i think its due to the fact the cpu cable is connected to the atx blade case?? if so how do i stop this error from happening? when i got into the bios it does not show how fast the fans are spinning it says n/a, i think this is do to the fans are monitored by the case itself?? i know the fans are spinning.. any help would be appreciated,,, my main concern is when the computer boots it looks for ide devices then says none found bios not installed but then boots xp fine, also the error in the hardware properties next to the sata raid driver..

thanks.

Don't have a 64bit chip or mobo, so some guessing here.

Clear your CMOS, or go into BIOS and manually disable the SATA.

Prolly need to plug the cpu fan into the mobo to stop the warning and allow for BIOS to report the RPMs

I have somewhat of an answer to this inquiry. This board actually has TWO SATA controllers. One is the Promise RAID controller, and the other is a DUAL channel VIA SATA controller (non-RAID), along with a PATA controller. Both are accessible via their own BIOS, and both have their own POST information.

Regarding your ! on your SATA controller, that means Windows sees it. I would recommend reinstalling the drivers on the ASUS cd or from online and that should clear up the splat!

In the BIOS you can set the (PATA?) RAID controller to act just as standard IDE.

There's nothing wrong with your board, disable the controller you're not using in BIOS and you'll no longer see that silly message, nor the exclamation in Windows.
