JeepGC96ZJ Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Just got my new Mobo P4PE. I am having problems installing OS. Well I cant even get to that part. I can get into the BIOS and see my HD and My Sony CD-RW drive but can not boot from it... Weird. The Hard drive is out of another PC. When booting up I get one beep Then the voice that says system completed POST. Then I get boot from AtaPI CD-Rom then says No emulation. Any help would be appriciated! Jeepers This is frustrating.

justinal Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 the only thing i can tell you is my sure all of your connections are good. what is on the hd that you are accesing make sure the jumper is set where it is the master but you probably already know this you are using a boot disk if not try their might be fragments of an os on the hd try these probs make sure you formatt the hd and then try a fresh install. how this helps justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepGC96ZJ Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Ok well it was not the HD... Some reason on my Primary IDE cable with my HD set to master and on the second plug on the ribbon "The CD is on the 1st plug" it will not detect my HD. I dont know why that is. Is there any way to turn off the voice command in the BIOS? Jeep Thsi system is sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
