Snapmando Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I set up a computer for my buddy using my Ultra Infinity. He insisted he needed a large hardrive. He decided to buy a Maxtor Diamondmax ATA 133 200 Gb 16 Mb drive. The OS installed fine but he still has a constant problem buring boot-up. This problem is with the Bios Hardrive Auto Detection. The first initial boot fails and he always has to reboot the computer a second time, before it is dectected. Does anyone know how to correct this problem? Will a Bios Flash help? If so, which Bios should I flash too? Thanks........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle john Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 The last sticky in this forum has info about slow booting and hdd not detecting. It's close to the bottom with a screen shot of the BIOS. If that isn't the problem try the 6/19 BIOS or the newest one. You do have at least SP1 installed, right?

Snapmando Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Yes, actually the bios is using the 6/19 and he's using SP2!!! Thanks though, I'll check out the sticky. It's kinda puzzling to me, I've never had this problem before..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
