moon Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 the cpu temp will rise with the load that is being placed on it.......55 deg is not too badAt present it's only looking at the BIOS, so I'm not too chuffed with that.

Guest Grim Reaper Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 mine runs at 48 but it is significantly overclocked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Hmmm.Ok, all set to default for the time being.Now, I've got the latest chipset drivers on CD . They post date the ones on the mobo CD. What's the workaround for that ? I'm just about to load the O/S/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moon Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Major disappointment. Windows does not detect any HDD's :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grim Reaper Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 is this on raid? Do you have to install raid drivers first?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Yep :D My mistake. I'm looking at the Si3112 manual now. I've copied the Si3112r drivers to floppy from the mobo CD. I've also copied two floppies from the mobo CD 'Diskettes' folder ( Disc 1 and Disc 2) but there's no bloody indication as to what they are.I understand from the manual to press F6 as Windows boots. Is that right ? I assume that means as I am loading Windows and before it gets to the point where it tells me I've no HDD's. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 yes it should prompt you to setup raid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 If I had any, I'd be having a bad hair day.Windows sails straight by the F6 key command without stopping. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Not sure about your F6 command but in win 98 it was the F8 or the cnrtl keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Cheers, doug, but it says F6 in the manual and F6 on screen. I'll give it a go though as I'm getting bored. :DNo mate. I'm gripped by gums of technology. :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 well I did offer to build it :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 moon it does skip though the F6 key let windows get on with it aussie then when its ready it will tell you to press the S key to add raid,it can be several minutes.

moon Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Tried that earlier mate. The driver diskette that I copied is not the one it wants at the 'S' point. It says ' txtSetup file could not be found', I think. Do you think I should whack in the SEagate Disk Wizard at that point or am I grasping at straws. ?

Guest ellas Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 did you not get a floppy with the raid drivers on,moon what raid controller have you got and can you give me a link to your mobo website so I can see if theres updated raid drivers.

Guest Grim Reaper Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 i think that you are grasping there moonmin,You need to start from the beginning again, recopy the drivers to the diskette, reset the bios functions and reload the drivers from there using the F6 key.

Guest ellas Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 can you please give a link to mobo webpage,then d/load drivers straight onto floppy and use them <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Here's the mobo manual and the RAID manual. If you look at (2) in the Silicon Image manual you'll see the directions for installing the Si3112r raid drivers to floppy from the mobo disc. That's what I've done, but that disc is NOT acceptable at the 'S' point. It would be acceptable via F bloody 6 but it won't stop.http://uk.giga-byte.com/Motherboard/Suppor...N400%20Pro2.htmhttp://uk.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/FileLi..._3112_e_002.pdfI've set the mobo to default, Grim, recopied the driver floppy as instructed above but it won't halt on F6.

Guest Grim Reaper Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 watch the startup carefully and a few seconds prior to the point where it says PRESS F6, press and hold the F6 key....that should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 The F6 option is first up on the Windows install but I'll give it a go. Ta. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Nah, no joy. Sails right past. The ol' key is clacking like a goose's beak . When I continue to the 'S' point and insert the Si3112r driver floppy the message is' txtSetup.oem could not be found' Any clues, oh mystic ones ? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Now, this might sound like a daft question. :P I've copied the Si3112r drivers folder to the floppy. Should I have opened it and copied the individual files ? I ask this because I've just explored the folder and the file txtSetup.oem is there.

Guest Grim Reaper Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 daft question.........you are the Chief Doughnut of doughnut land...no wonder your lot lost the rugby.....COPY THE INDIVIDUAL FILES....how the hell can it look in the folder????if this wasnt a public forum with minors i would say what i think!!

moon Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 LOL ! My brain would fit through the doughnut ring. :D Ok, I've cracked it. How was I to know the bloody thing couldn't open a folder ? :DWhat's more , it needs a folder within that folder and the bloody floppy won't take them both !! I'll be sticking a doughnut in the designer's ear of if paths ever cross.OK, I'm in and up to the partition point . MH suggest 20Gig for the O/S and software and the remaining 100 for data. I'm open to suggestions but don't go away as my cpu temp rises 5 degrees every half hour :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
