Installed new network card....

[EnderNine]

alright.. this one has got me..

Motherboard is a ASUS SK8V(I have a wireless network card installed as well and I tried taking it out and replacing it with the wired still have the problem) [Hard drives are SATA on raid 0]


I installed a PCI(wired) network card and as soon as I boot up.. it can't find the hard drives at all.. I entered setup and everything was fine but when it boots it just says please insert boot device


I can boot if I take the card out no problems it works with the wireless card as well.. I have even booted and installed the network card(wired) drivers then installed it.. nothing





I may be tired.. and it might be something really really stupid =P but right now.. im stumped

Maybe your NIC is in a slot that is sharing its chipset IRQ with the SATA RAID controller and they don't like eachother. Look in your manual for the chipset IRQ-sharing chart and use a PCI slot that doesn't clash.

Tried it in all the PCI slots.. still nothing

Try hitting the F8 key during POST to call up the SK8V's bootable-device list, and see if you can boot from your array as a fact-finding step. I'm presuming that the SK8V can do this trick like the K8V series do.

Tried that .. hard drives do not show up on the list
