Automatic HDD recognition fails
« on: March 26, 2006, 01:55:32 AM »
The install of a USB wireless card failed with errors and have been unable to boot since because the AMI BIOS sits on Automatic recognition of the hard drives, and is unable to find them. Auto cannot find either the HDDs or the CDs on secondary.

None of the fixed configurations are large enough for the 80 GB drives,  so cannot use them as a workaround.

Floppy boots fine, so am not completely dead in the water.

It is a Mainboard ECS  K7S5A motherboard, and BIOS settings are valid (checked them against a duplicate system which has no woes).  

How a failed install could cause this beats me, but am now stuck with a fully capable but non-functional machinee.

Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated.

Thanks,

JP
