asus k8v se deluxe help

[nyorker]

I installed win xp on my amd 64 3200 with the asus k8v se deluxe mb.. in the bios i picked raid for the hd.. i dont have raid i have sata only.. should i switch it to ide??

when the computer boots it says , searching for ide drives.. it says none found and bios not installed.. i think its looking for a raid hdd? it then loads win xp fine with no problem.

When i go into device hardware properties in xp , the device driver for sata raid has a yellow mark next to it indicating its not working..

how do i fix this problem and also when it boots it looks for ide devices or a raid hdd i think?? boot xp loads fine.

also it says cpu fan error.. i think its due to the fact the cpu cable is connected to the atx blade case?? if so how do i stop this error from happening? when i got into the bios it does not show how fast the fans are spinning it says n/a, i think this is do to the fans are monitored by the case itself?? i know the fans are spinning.. any help would be appreciated,,, my main concern is when the computer boots it looks for ide devices then says none found bios not installed but then boots xp fine, also the error in the hardware properties next to the sata raid driver..

thanks.

uh.. run.. run before it blows!

edit: um, i'd like to help you but i'm not sure what your problem is. you can boot into xp? when you go into the bios, is there a raid option in the setup? do you have multiple sata hdds? why do you want a raid setup anyway? help me help you.

lol,
I have the same setup as you but with SATA harddrives, dual digital westerns, you must boot into the BIOS and change SATA - IDE so that when you get "seaching for IDE hard drives" it will find them, but if you're trying to go through RAID, you may not have your machine setup correctly, I'd say just goto IDE, it'll fix that problem, and flash your BIOS if possible, update it so it doesn't have any wierd errors... hope that helps you
