no clue from me. for whatever reason, the flash won't continue. like I
asked earlier, when the system boots, do you see anything on the early POST screens indicating it is an Award bios? Yes it says: "award modular biod v4.50PG" so its rather an Award bios. EtOH |

now, I have a BE6-II board that does not display the CD-ROM drive when I am
in the bios screens. if I force an auto-detect in the bios screens, the hard drive shows but no CD-ROM drive. however, at boot time, the CD-ROM drive not only is detected and shows in two different places, but I can also boot from the cd as well. -- Thomas Geery Network+ certified ftp://geerynet.d2g.com ftp://68.98.180.8 Abit Mirror ----- Cable modem IP This IP is dynamic so it *could* change!... over 120,000 FTP users served! ^^^^^^^ "etoh" /no_spam/ wrote in message ... interesting. the only thing I could recommend is to see if you could purchase a pre-programmed bios chip...

Interesting .... Does the CD device 'show' up in the ESCD ??? Will it show in a probe from a 3rd party probe app ?? Have one(DOS) , can send. Qed. |

it will show in the table that is presented on the final boot screen, the
one that is presented with a "box" surround as opposed to the text listing, but does not show in the bios search if you are in bios setup. it also shows in the initial IDE channel search right after the CPU and memory are displayed. the drive is available to DOS level operations assuming you load the standard drivers and MSCDEX. -- Thomas Geery Network+ certified ftp://geerynet.d2g.com ftp://68.98.180.8 Abit Mirror ----- Cable modem IP This IP is dynamic so it *could* change!... over 120,000 FTP users served! ^^^^^^^ "0_Qed" wrote in message ...

OK, the CD still isnt shown in the "box" where it is listed all devices, also not in text mode I managed to make a boot disk thx to which it is useable= works :-) Now I will try to install an OS on the PC. THX for help again. EtOH |
