Help a novice plz!
OK I installed my new ASUS A7N8X mobo. I put my new HDD as Master with the CDRW and DVD as secondary master and slave. When I tried ti install XP it says cannot find HD. I tried a few different configs and ended up with my HDD config`d with the jumper on CS WINXP saw the HDD and installed. In BIOS it reads
Primary Master : NONE Secondary Master : CDRW Primary Slave : DVD Secondary Slave: HDD I do not have a RAID config and I think thats whats messing me up. This is the first system I built and I have read the mobo manual. Also, the multiplier setiings, I have an AMD 3000, I have the CPU @ 166 with a multiplier of 13.0 to reach the specs for the CPU. Dumb question What are those other settings for the multiplier that have two sets of numbers? ie 8.5 / 16.0 etc. If anyone has this board I really would appreciate a little advice on what your setup is. I have the mem freq on AUTO. Thanks in advance for all your replies System specs AMD 3000 A7N8X mobo 512 PC 3200 RAM 40 G WD HDD |

This may be too simplistic, but it's worth a try. Have you tried removing the jumper on the HD completely? I for some HD's, you need to remove the jumper if you want it to be master. Give that a try, and we can go from there.

Thanks Talon!! Putting the jumper in the neutral position has everything setup right:
HDD: Primary Master CDRW: Secondary Master DVD: Secondary Slave Do u know what the two number multipliers are for? As I said I have mine set @ 13, but there are different settings that I do not know. My machine is running great Good FPS and stable maybe I should leave it alone  . Again thanks for your help!! |

No problem, glad I could help out. Unfortunately I don't know what those multipliers are for, so someone else may have to give you a hand. I will say that you may be on to something when you say "My machine i running great.....maybe I should leave it alone"!
