A little inconvenience

Postposted on Sat May 24, 2008 10:46 am

Ive always had a little problem with my X48 board. Every time I boot up I get this message

No IDE Master H.D.D. Detected!
Press F1 to Resume

Once I hit F1 it boots into windows with no prob, its just a little bit annoying. Is there anyway to fix the F1 thing

Are you running a SATA hard drive? If so, you could try disabling the IDE controller, or simply removing IDE devices from the boot devices list.

Assuming your hard disk is connected to one of the SATA ports connected to the Intel disk controller (ICH), you could try disabling the secondary disk controller in the BIOS.

I just went into the bios and can't seem to find an option to disable the IDE controller, but I just turned off this jmicron controller that fixed a screen before that that said no jmicron controllers were found.

Edit: I set the boot priority to my sata first, then my dvd, then a removable device. Still no luck

Do you have a device plugged in as slave without a master?

I found this kind of error too on ASUS P5E.

My solution is...
You need to connect your SATA hard drive on the first SATA port.
Check the manual for the location and move the SATA cable to the appropriate port.
