I've just installed an additional controller card (Silicon Image SiL 0680 ATA/133 Controller) so that I could install an extra CD-RW. What's happening is when I reboot my PC, POST goes through as it should but then the BIOS for this controller card initiates (locates the devices on this card...my one burner, for example) and then I receive the following message:
Sil 0680 ATA/133 Controller BIOS Ver.3.0.93
Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility
F1 allows XP Home Ed. to continue to boot up & F2 takes me into my regular setup utility. Is this normal? Before I never had to press anything during POST...XP Home Ed booted up on its own after POST. I've been to but haven't been able to find anything. My PC is a Dell Dimension 4300S...been to their site to but found nothing.
