supershanks Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Yep thespin is right. Check :- W.D: Normal ::::: Stand alone ::|:: Master :::|: Slave ::::| Cable select Maxtor Normal |::: Master :::: Slave :|:: Cable select as i said earlier Do u have any usb drives/storage devices (including multifunction printers) connected. can cause boot process 2 hang. mingyeung - Hope u get something from the above but wonder if your psu is a bit marginal @ 400w see NF4 Ultra/SLI Mobos:PowerSupplies System startup puts a heavy load on your PSU. luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
honorelsu Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 I actually have mine on cable select. I had it set as master initially but it wasn't getting picked up in the bios. I also have my dvd burner set on master and it had no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

supershanks Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 It may not apply so much with neo4 boards but certainly i've seen alot of detection issues when using cable select with the Neo3 chipset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
