Ive had a couple suggestions.

1. disable the RAID in the BIOS (Im not using RIAD)

2. Change the jumper on the HD to CS?


????
 
that the part that comes with the ASUS board that has a joystick controller hookup and another serial port plus two more USB ports? I didnt put that in when I put it together
Go into Bios and disable the Promise Controller. That will stop the "error". Actually that is not an error, it is just the motherboard trying to read a hard drive on the Raid controller and not finding anything. After you make this change, post exactly what the CMOS error says. Hope this helps

do not change the jumper on the HD to CS
won't do a bit of good!!!

get rid of Raid - yes
HD to CS - NO
 
Ok, I disabled raid, promise and that helped a bit, looks like where Im stuck the longest is the blinking cursor on an all black screen, that goes on for 40 seconds. What does this mean? Looking for boot up info? I did not partition my HD, could that be it?
 
FIXED!! All I did was move the HD jumper from MSater to CS, it fires up in less than 20 seconds now, very sweet, thanks all.
