How do I disable the Promise Controller

[gf4200isdabest]

When my computer is booting I get the messages "No device detected" and "No BIOS installed." Otherwise the comp runs fine and I have reason to believe that the Promise Controller is what's causing them to appear. However, I can't find a way to disable it in my BIOS. This is on an MSI K8T mobo (AMD64) using an AMI 3.31a BIOS.

if no hdds are connected to the controller, you will always get that message!

Alternatively, you can RTFM.

I direct you to page 3-20.

If your board did not come with a manual, I got a copy from MSI's website. Neat, huh?

I tried disabling the PATA and the SATA controllers but that didn't get rid of it. The other (Raid) manual shows a screenshot with an option to disable the Promise one but my mobo doesn't have that anywhere.

Am I correct in assuming that this is some kind of active controller that's not being used and, as such, is returning an error?
