One Beep, ASUS PB5 Deluxe, C2D 6300

[jason7655]

Got it all hooked up, it goes to BIOS and even recognizes the drives.

For some reason though it turns around and says no drive found even though it lists the 2 SATA hard drives and the 1 SATA DVD drive. It says I should have to fool with the jumpers.

In the mobo handbook it says one beep could mean one of 3 things...and I'm guessing it's no master device found.

Anyone have a helpful link or some insight?

Does your setup need SATA drivers?

OK, please give us:

BIOS version;
drive types;
power supply;
which SATA sockets are you using;
are the drives SATA300 capable and are the jumpers on the drives which set that capability to 300 or 150 set as you/BIOS need them;
do you have an USB card reader attached as well (or printer with card reader)?

It won't be drivers as they are not loaded until the OS loads - BIOS supports hardware natively or not at all.

What do you mean by this?

I will give you what I can give you now (since I am at work) and I will follow up this evening with additional details as I have them.

Don't know about the BIOS since i am not there.

There are six SATA slots (non-RAID) on the bottom right of the Mobo. I've tried different combinations. There are 4 red and 2 black SATA connections on the mobo, and it says the black should be used as SLAVE. I put the DVD into that slot.

does it say it cant find any drives when you try to load or boot the os

if so then you will have to go on thier website and download sata drivers and load them before your os

It finds the drives, it lists them in the BIOS for SATA1, etc.

I forget the exact wording, but it goes to a black screen and says it can't find a drive, even though it just did. Confusing to me.

I put the Vista disc in and it recognized both SATA drives, but when I tried to install on one of them it said that it can't do that.

I will try to be more exact tonight with the wording.

nevermind...I let Vista format the drive and i was fine. Must have been something I didn't think about at 1:30 am while I was drained.
