Hello All I'm helping my friend with a computer hes building heres the specs
Soyo K7VTA-Pro Motherboard w/ Athlon 1.2GHz CPU
40 gig western digital H/d
Pine geoforce2 mx400 64mb graphics card
56X cdrom drive
264 mb pc133 ram
Ok first problem we had was mobo kept saying floppy drive error or not connected. I double checked all the connections and its all in good but we swapped that out so now on to the hard-drive. The bios couldnt auto-sense the WD hard-drive so i went into the bios to enter it manually but when i clicked auto sense it then detected the hard-drive. ok so we saved the bios it reboots and just hangs. It won't goto a: drive or cdrom-drive.
If i clear the cmos settings it wont detect hdd but if i continue it then goes to the add boot-disk. I'm confused as to why I'm not seeing this screen when I put the hd in. Has anyone else had any problems similiar or know something about this mobo that I'm overlooking?
I put in his old hd hehe a 1 gig maxtor and it senses it fine so I know its not the cable, i also swapped hd cables and cdrom cables around on the mobo and it still sensed the cdrom drive but not the hdd so I know its not a bad adapter on the mobo. Umm i'm running out of options. ANY help would be appreciated. THX in advance
