I have a Merit Double platinum with the telco motherboard and am having
problems.
1. It wouldn't boot past the drive detecting part. We thought the HD
went bad. I don't remember what the screen said at that time.
2. I wanted to make it a Double Platinum version using a CD Drive
instead of a HD. So merit sent me the CD's.
3. Now it boots and I get the following.
Primary HD failure
CD Rom detected:Mitsumi xxx (I forget)
Primary hd failed
Secondary hd failed.
Press F1 or Del to contiue.
If you press F1 it takes you through a number of screens and after the
touchscreen controller driver part it says.
Error reading drive f: abort/retry/fail (just repeats)
OR: If I set the HD to none in the cmos I get this.
Primary hd fail
CD ROM detected: Mitsumi xxxx (I forget)
Insert system disc press enter. (Nothing happens Just repeats)
I have tried everything.
1. 4 different CD ROM Drives
2. Different cables
3. Setting the drive as master/slave/primary/secondary/ C/D drive.
4. Setting jumper 1 on I/O board
Merit thinks it is the Motherboard. Any ideas? Does anyone have a
motherboard forsale? Or other solutions. Or how to repair. I have the
HD install disks but if the CD Rom won't boot I can't get to install.
I am going to order another CD drive just incase.
Thanks for the help
