no floppy or CD drive in BIOS
« on: July 28, 2007, 04:21:12 PM »
I was going to image my operating drive. I have tried two boot discs and neither works. The floppy blinks at boot up with the disc in but goes right through the normal boot. The floppy and CD read in windows. But in BIOS settings under boot sequence neither the floppy or DVD drive show up – only the hard drives (yes, I toggled through to make sure I saw everything!). I checked in case the sequence did not have the floppy first but you can’t make it first if it does not appear. The DVD drive shows up on the second page of the BIOS settings , so it is being detected, but does not show up in the boot sequence menu so that you can have it boot from there first either. There have been flash updates done to the board recently but I do not know if the failure was from that. Any ideas??

p.s the board is an Intel D945PVS which I would never buy again. The CPU is Intel Dual Core 3.2
