Cannot Access BIOS

by var1016 . Updated 17 years, 11 months ago

Hello all.

I have just installed a new SATA hard drive which has registered itself as “slave” Drive E:\. The drive is Seagate, 160GB SATA II, the original drive is a Samsung 40GB SATA (don’t know if it is I or II).

I want the new HD to be drive C:\ and Master – i.e. the boot drive. Using Sagate’s Disk Wizard, I have copied over all the files. I have no idea if the disks are running correctly as SATA – I have not knowingly installed any SATA drivers – first because I don’t have a floppy available – I do have a USB FDD drive and because despite reading the procedure several times I find it rather confusing and difficult to understand.

Problem is I cannot access the BIOS (Award). I have had this trouble before: press Del and nothing happens, although pressing F12 does give the Boot menu. M/board is Gigabyte M55 plus S3G.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get into the BIOS?

Thanks

Paul
