Well I started on my first build today and everything seemed to go well until I tested it and I saw the error that said BIOS not installed. (Out of case with no HDD's) I figured oh well and just put it in the case hook up all the little things and the HDD's (1 SATA and 1 IDE) and still it says BIOS not installed but it continues past and I was able to load windows and everything seems fine except for that. Do I just need to flash the BIOS? Or is there a deeper problem?

One other issue which isnt that big of deal but for some reason my IDE which I set to slave is my C: drive and the SATA drive is H: and its on master. Obviously these arent on the same line and if they work then fine but I would sorta like to have it C: for the master and D: for the slave and currently I have D,E,F,G tied up with a dvd rom a dvd burner and two flash/compact card readers that are built into my floppy drive.

Thanks

Its a K8T Neo FSI2R with a A64 3200

I'm out of my league on the first, so not going to just guess on it. With regards to the second, go to Control Panell>Administrative Tools>Computer Management. Once opened, click Storage in the right window, then Disk Management (local). The drives should be listed, right click and "Change drive letters paths...."

Could it possibly be a Raid bios that is not installed for the Sata?
