i have to remove my CMOS battery to cold-boot!
i have a gigabyte GA-7DPXDW-P motherboard, and recently enabled the
on-board promise controller in ATA mode. now i'm unable to do a cold boot, unless i: - remove the cmos battery and unplug the PS, resetting cmos - then i can boot, but CMOS is wrong, so i have to go into cmos, change settings, and do a warm boot with the new settings. any ideas? i am definitely not into having to crawl under my desk, open the case, and remove the battery every time i have to restart my system... |

Update your Bios problem turned out to be: western digital HDD's on the promise controller need M/S selector jumpers completely removed when alone on the IDE channel. weird that it wouldn't boot at all, though, instead of just not detecting drives... |
