ULTRA BIOS NOT INSTALLED.

[dhar25]

My PC is refusing to boot up. It indiactes " Ultra BIOS not installed"! Appars to be not reading the primary hard drive. Then it also syas insert your system disk!

Does windows XP has a system disk! I don't remeber it asking for it when xp was installed. I don't know what is causing this problem! I tried another hard drive as a primary drive, it gives the same information "Ultra BIOS not installed".
I will greatly appreciate any infomation that will help me resolving this problem.
Thank you.

Try moving the IDE connector to the black socket rather than the red / green / blue one (which ever colour it is).

You may have to live without the cd while your trying it.

If it does then boot up, you may need to reinstall xp and install the the 3rd party drivers (press F6).

Alternativly, hang both the hard drive and cd off the same ide cable. Tez

Backups are great but checking if you can restore is more fun.
