Sabertooth P67 Boot light Error

This is my first new build and I have a boot led error. I was able to load Windows but then afterward it gives the same error before loading the OS. Onscreen before the OS it says no hard drives detected but it shows the drives afterward in BIOS and Windows.

i7 2600k
8g RAM g skill
120G SSD HD for OS
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB storage drive
Windows 7 64 bit
GTX 460 x2
Noctua NH D14 cooler
blu ray drive


Any help would be appreciated!

Try loading Defaults in the BIOS.

Q - What SSD?
Q - In the BIOS is either the HDD or SSD listed e.g. Boot Priority?
Q - What SATA Ports?
Q - After installing Windows did you install all of the Drivers?

BTW - Make certain that the SATA Ports are NOT Disabled in the BIOS...happens.

Assuming again, that ALL of the SATA Ports are enabled, move the HDD to SATA3G_1 and the ODD/BD is in SATA3G_5 or higher; it's better for the ODD not to be in SATA1~4 i.e. AHCI.

SSD - SATA_6G_1 {use closets to MOBO}
HDD - SATA1
ODD - SATA5

I've seen this before. Use the Port order as below** and re-enable. Often a BIOS flash helps. You 'can' Disable the Marvell SATA Ports.

Use ASUS EZ Flash 2 and flash to version 1305.

**BTW - Ignore the SATA Ports above -- oddly I was answering a Sabertooth X58 post and your Sabertooth P67 post.

SSD -> SATA6G_1
HDD -> SATA3G_3
ODD -> SATA3G_5 ; I prefer the HDD to be first, and leave port '4' {next} in case you add a RAID 1 HDD.

You're stuck with the ODD/BR on the AHCI; it's okay.

If the HDD occurs with BIOS set to Defaults and is prior to OS then: HDD/SSD problem or older Firmware, PSU power issue, or MOBO issues including {BIOS error/corruption, BIOS setting, standoff or I/O shorting...or bad MOBO}. If when you formatted there was an error then it might require a reformat.

I assume that the HDD/SSD are being properly recognized now..?

I can assume you did everything right or wrong building. The standoffs being loose won't be the issue nor the CPU Fan in most cases. Standoffs - 'short' unscrew all of the MOBO & PCIe screws and dangle the MOBO supported by a towel; rule-out shorting. Next, if the CPU Fan mounting is metal to MOBO than that's a really bad thing; the mounting shouldn't be with a plastic mount and/or with plastic washers.

Next, play musical SATA ports -- often this can correct a problem with both Windows and the BIOS; re-INIT.

BTW - you can have a SATA3 HDD/SSD on a SATA2 Port and visa versa....

Hey, I figured out that first message and I had to initialize the drive in windows to see it. So those are ok.

I need to update or reinstall my Marvell controller now though. I am getting a BSOD with a BV91xx.sys error, which i read has to do with Marvell. I am doing that when I get home. Thanks for the help!
