I guys, I'm having some problems with my motherboard BIOS, contacted the ECS support, but they told me to reinstall my O.S (funny since my problem is with the bios). I was wondering if any of yu guys could tell me if it happens to you too. This is what I replyed to them just a few minutes ago.
As stated before, the problem is not related to my O.S. (so i don't see why you tell me to re-install the O.S. fresh). To give you a detailed demostration of what I'm talking, I'll give you a list of the things I do.
1. Start the PC only with the dvd-rw drive and a multi flash reader conected internally with usb inside connector.
2. Define the following secuence of initiation: 1st dvd-rw, 2nd multi flash reader, no 3rd boot device, and no Boot Other Device. Save into bios, then restart.
3. Wait for the system to boot: It will say "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press key" (this is logical, as the pc has nothing to boot from). Now i conect a USB pendrive to the PC, then hit reset button.
4. Now enter the bios. In the boot secuence, you can see than the list is now : 1st dvd-rw, 2nd GENERIC FLASH DISK, 3rd disabled, no boot other device.
Has you can see, the boot secuence has been automatically changed: if you go to the hard disk drives section just below the boot devices selection sector, you can see that the first drive is generic flash disk, 2nd is the multi flash reader.
Now I'll explain it with the hard disk connected
1. Start the PC only with the dvd-rw drive, a sata II hard disk and a multi flash reader conected internally with usb inside connector.
2. Define the following secuence of initiation: 1st dvd-rw, 2nd the sata iI HDD, no 3rd boot device, and no Boot Other Device. In the hard disk drives section, set 1st drive to sata II HDD, 2nd Multi flash reader. Save into bios, then restart.
3. Wait for the system to boot: It will go to the O.S. with no problem (this is logical, as the pc has the sata II hard disk to boot from). Now i conect a USB pendrive to the PC, then reset the computer (with the reset button or from the O.S.)
4. Now enter the bios. In the boot secuence, you can see than the list is now : 1st dvd-rw, 2nd Multi flash reader, 3rd disabled, no boot other device.
Has you can see, the boot secuence has been automatically changed: if you go to the hard disk drives section just below the boot devices selection sector, you can see that the first drive is multi flash reader, 2nd is generic flash disk, 3rd the Sata II HDD.
This is an extremely anoying problem, has i use a lot of pendrives and usually change my hard disk drives. It's not O.S. related, it's a BIOS problem, could you check with one of your own motherboards to see if this is a problem of the model or a malfunction of my motherboard?
