I built a new machine. It has a ECS A770M-A mother board, AMD 4400+ 2.3 GH dual core processor, 2 GB DDR2 667 RAM, ECS GeForce 6 Series 256 MB Video card, a 250 GB IDE HD and a IDE DVD drive installed. When I boot up I receive the errorr "Reboot and select proper boot device" I go into BIOS and it does not recognize either the HD or DVD drive. In the BIOS the onboard IDE controller is set to Primary, Onboard SATA is set to enabled, and the SATA config is set to IDE. Can anyone offer any advice?

hi,

Check BIOS once again, the first boot device is CD/DVD and second one is HD. If it write,but not recognizing? it seems to be a problem with your BIOS or it may be your motherboard is not supportting the HD and DVD.

I built a computer with the same motherboard and similar components. I also cannot get the parallel ATA devices to be seen. I tried HD, DVD, and CD to no avail. I used a SATA HD and a USB DVD player to load Windows XP. I plain to buy a PCI to IDE card to use other IDE devices. I tried all possible combinations on the BIOS (CMOS) and even got a replacement motherboard from ECS. The support line couldn't help and claimed that no one else has reported this issue. Did you get the problem resolved?
