Hi.
I am haviong trouble booting my SATA hard drive connected to my ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo.
I have followed other instructions found on the web with regards to changing the boot order to boot from SCSI [not HDD as this tries to boot an IDE HD] and also for loading the SATA RAid drivers.
My situation is as follws.
My PC was runnign fone for a few months before the mobo packed in. I got a replacement and then found out that my PSU also needed replacing.
I now have a replacement mobo and new 550watt PSU.
The old mobo managed to corrupt the OS [win xp pro] so I now need to reinstall. I can boot from the CD drive, load the sata drivers, set up the partition and copy files ready for installation. However, after copying the files and rebooting the PC [as required by the windows installer] the Pc fails to boot from the hard drive to proceed with the install. It just sits there with a blank screen.
I am pulling out my hair trying to think of what is causing this problem. I dont think that the mobo is broken as the windows installer manages to detect the drive and copy the neccesary files ready for install, but then it refuses to boot from the SATA drive to continue the OS install.
Ive checked the BIOS and everything seems to be in order there.
HELP PLEASE!!
You help will be greatly appreciated 🙂
