I have posted this before.. but I just can not get this to work.. please help >.<

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] ([Tried all PCI slots])


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

did you try various pci slots for the nic? im assuming you have but i figured id ask anyhow. there are some boards that share pci slots with irq's onboard and can cause issues (dont know about that particular board though) and that could be causing an issue.
