firstly, be sure that
your hard drive jumpers
are set according to the
cable connector.
to reset the bios completely,
remove the watch like battery
from the motherboard - with care.
wait about 20 minutes to ensure
the cmos electrons dissipate.
reinsert your battery, with care,
and boot up. the cmos may prompt
you to configure the settings or
if you have a new fancy motherboard,
the cmos will automatically configure
itself and recognize your hd.
be sure to have you setup cd
in and ensure that the bootup
device is your cd. But you
already knew this....
g.l....
