Hi Everybody, I thought to give an up-date on this thread. I got word back from the card manufacturer SIIG, and they said to return to vendor, cards defective. So thats it, all along it was the card. I can't return to vendor though, Compusa has a 14day return/exchange policy and I'm past that...

Thanks McMorden, I tried that out and on boot, it locked at "Verifying DMI Pool". I disco'd all the drives, hooked the ATA133 as prime-master, installed windows, went thru the whole win setup, shutdown, rebooted to win, check device manager and the primary controller conflict was gone, shutdown...

Hi, Thanks for posting back. I do get the added screen on boot showing the pci controller and the hd configuration. Its shows the HD a Prime Master, and shows its model number, Below the HD is a bunch of open lines I assume for any added Drivers. I swapped to the cards other channel, and I got...

Hi, I have Aopen's AK73 Pro (A) with a AMD 750 t-bird. The boards been running great since I installed it, just (see my new post?) the fdd light stays on, and on boot-up I get message "fdd not detected". So I figure I must of bungled the fdd install. Take Care, JAB.

Hi Folks, I installed this mobo some time ago, the print on the mobo was so small, and manual didn't point out exactly where to plug the power for the floppy drive. At the time that was no big deal 'cause I don't use it. But now it is, I'm needing to add a maxtor hd and its driver is on a...
