Trying to install Maxtor SATA/150 HDD as boot disk connected to an ASUS
P5P800 motherboard.
I have two problems.
The first is that the motherboard ignores settings I make and save in
BIOS which tell it to boot from floppy or CD-ROM and it boots from hard
disk instead. When I use F8, and specify a boot device, the
motherboard ignores it and boots from hard disk instead. Go figure?
The second problem is that I bought a new Maxtor Diamond Plus 9 60GB
SATA/150 HDD to replace my old WDC 40GB IDE/100 HDD. The computer
runs fine with the old HDD. I loaded WinXP on the new SATA drive.
After I reboot I keep getting NTLDR missing error. The disk works
just fine as a secondary disk which I can access if I boot off of the
old HDD.
Does anyone know of a fix for this NTLDR problem when booting from an
SATA drive
connected to an ASUS P5P800 motherboard? Remember I can't boot off of
the floppy or CD-ROM as described above.
