No disks found, P8P67 Pro

Hi!

My brother just called me trying to start up is new hardware and I
couldn't figure it out.

He have connected a HD to sata3 port, in bios he can see the drive
listed and he sets ita s pri boot.
When he restarts mobo reports no disks found.
He have tried different HDs with same result.
Any advice??

If he is trying to install an operating system to a new drive
on a new system, he needs to make the CD/DVD drive the default
boot device and have the OS installation disc in it before
booting.

I recently installed a p8p67le in my computer. I had a pig of a time trying to
get that thing to boot off the old ide drive I had my OS on, in fact I had to
remove all sata devices to get it to recognize the ide hdd as a possibility for
booting off (and show it as such in the bios screen). After reattaching the
sata drives it will now boot of the ide drive --- BUT:

half the time the turkey does not even post when I try to turn it on from cold.
This happened a few times during system build, but I thought at the time it was
due to my fiddling with the hardware and the problems with the drives I tried
to attach (hell, I even ended up replacing a perfectly good ide optical drive
because I thought maybe it was interfering with the post/boot process due to
some bios feebleness) but the problem has cropped up again after the computer
has been operating for a few weeks now. Takes 3-10 attempts of hitting the
power on button before it will finally post. Most of the time the lights come
on, drives spin up, nothing happens, lights go off again. Takes a wee time out,
then the same again without me even touching it. Eventually it gives up. So
I've been running it 24/7 so long as we don't have a power outage or I'm going
away for a couple of days.

Anyone else had problems of this nature? I am seriously starting to think about
trying to get a refund and going to a different brand mobo. I bought a new
antec psu to go with it, I doubt that that is at fault, and the on-board
battery should be good really?
