Re: [Totally Lost] Problems with D975XBX2 board

Re: [Totally Lost] Problems with D975XBX2 board

I thought it was F6 What about disabling the raid in the bios? Yeah, it is F6, I remember getting that message. I think I did disable the raid in the bios, at least how I know how to do it: I disabled the secondary SATA controller under peripherials in the BIOS. I still get the same startup message...

Re: [Totally Lost] Problems with D975XBX2 board

Hey Ken, I set the drive to IDE, the only thing that changed is now it recognizes the drive in SATA 0-3 (it didn't before), but still the same issue, it won't let it be the primary drive. I'm going to take vbironchef's advice and I'll try to buy a floppy and try to find the driver for it. I'm surpri...

Re: [Totally Lost] Problems with D975XBX2 board

Sounds like the BIOS has defaulted to use RAID for your hard drives. I don't have this board, but check the bios for an option to set the HDD to run as "IDE" That system will run Oblivion fine, with lower settings/resolutions. Welcome to LRForums BTW :drinkers: Thanks man, good to be here...

Re: [Totally Lost] Problems with D975XBX2 board

Oh, and the processor they gave us is an Intel Q6600 Quad Core, and we bought a 7600GS vid card for it, 2 sticks of 1gb memory (don't remember which brand, but I can look if necessary). Also, I was curious if this setup is decent. I'm wanting to get into games...On my old desktop, I tried to run Obl...

[Totally Lost] Problems with D975XBX2 board

Hey guys, my wife's company gave her a board and processor recently, and we just attempted to put it together. Well, she put it together, mostly. We got everything going, it boots and everything, but we cannot get the OS to install. After messing around with it, I figured the problem was probably wi...
