Re: [Simply Computers] Intel D915GAV Won't Boot

 

Roger, the frustrating thing is that I can press F2 during the boot
process and get into the bios. Once in the bios, I can see what drives
the bios can see. With them all connected, it can see all of them.

I have tried one drive connected. The same thing occurred. I tried
booting with a SATA DVD, Nothing.

I'm tired of being frustrated. I prefer to work on current hardware anyway.
