Hi,
I have a K7S5A Pro motherboard, and recently reinstalled my RocketRAID 454
card. Everything works fine except that from the time the blue RocketRAID
BIOS screen disappears until Windows XP starts booting is more than 2.5
MINUTES! I called HighPoint Tech Support, and the guy said "Oh that happens
with some motherboards -- on some machines it's up to 20 minutes"! He had
no useful suggestions.
He also said the motherboard was trying to find out where to boot from --
but the motherboard's ROM BIOS was set to boot from the RocketRAID card.
Furthermore, I've had this card installed before, without this ridiculous
wait.
Has anybody else experienced this, or have any suggestions?
I have nothing attached to the motherboard's primary IDE connector, and two
DVD drives attached to the motherboard's secondary IDE connector. I have
one drive attached to each of the 4 RocketRAID connectors.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan
