P4P800 Deluxe takes long to boot

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

Hi,
my P4C800-e Delux takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 3+ minutes to boot.

As yet I've been unable to figure out why.

Hi,

Use the correct pata/sata settings in the bios.
Mostly set it to pata-sata (not pata only) if using pata disk.

Regards,

Vincent
