Hello, and to anyone who sees this post I hope you can help, or know what to do.
I was until recently having a hell of a time getting past a verifying DMI hang, got past that thanks to this forum. Now after verifying Dmi, it keeps on giving me the message "boot from CD/DVD" even though I installed Windows XP home it will not actually boot up from the hard drive.
. If I put in the setup CD it will bring me into the windows set-up screen, and when I try to set it up, it says I already have the operating system installed. Here is the screen.
I am not sure what to do, the last thing I did was in standard CMOS page put my sata disk to none, since I was told that there is no master and slave in Sata (plus there is no jumper, I removed it) and then in Integrated peripherals I made sure that
Sata RAID?AHCI mode = disabled
Sata port)-3 Native Mode = enabled.
This let me get past that DMI hang as well, but gives me the boot disk from CD/DVD problem.
If I restore everything to optimized defaults in the bios it stops doing the "boot from disk' problem but just goes to a black screen like it has become stuck or frozen and nothing ever comes up.
Anyone have any ideas what to do?
Thanks
