System specs as follows:
Asus A7N8X non-deluxe
120GB 8mb cache drive approx. 1.5 yr old on Primary Master with Slave empty
2x opticals on Secondary Master/Slave
No floppy, haven't had one in 3 years
Ok, aside from the point of not having a floppy and been running as such for 3 years without a hitch, I can't pin point why all of a sudden this is happening with alarming frequency.
BIOS boots and the problems is either not finding DHCP resolving or get the generic message of No System boot found, insert book disk and press enter"... while the only thing I can do at this point is to reinstall Windows again on my 2nd partition, I also tried resetting bios for possible errors in trying to boot of the network, but the error messsages seem to oscillatee between the boot disk error and nvidia DHCP error ( i run the onboard NIC).
Any suggestions or things I should mention is appreciated. Right now the only thing I consider to be suspect is the harddrive, but when windows does boot it works like a champ. I hear no weird sounds or indications of a drive going bad, but that's just my guess.
Please suggest remedies and such.. thank you.
