I have a P4P800-E Deluxe mobo, a SATA hard drive (C
, and an IDE drive connected to a Promise card. My CDROM and burner are connected to IDE 1 and 2. XP Home, SP2 with all updates installed. I built this computer a little over a year ago, and it has been problem free. Last night I had a fan noise, so opened the box and removed a case fan to clean it since noise appeared to be coming from there. I left the fan out of the case and booted the computer. Left it running about ten minutes and the noise began again. Was able to see the problem then-- a power connector intermittently touching CPU fan. Tied that out of the way and put case fan back in and closed it up. When I reconnected hardware and booted the computer, I got the following message:
No drive attached to Fast Track Controller. Bios not installed.
After Windows loaded, I got a New Hardware Found Screen for RAID Controller. I cancelled and Windows runs fine. In Device Manager I have other Devices: Raid Controller with yellow question mark. No problems whatsoever showing in Event Viewer.
The Bios is not seeing my HD drive connected to the Promise card, but all drives are seen in Windows.
Since my drive is seen in Windows, it seems the Promise card must be OK. Does anyone have any ideas? I don't understand what could have changed. BTW, I didn't unplug anything when I had the case opened.
Sorry this is so long. Thanks for any help.
