Yikes Help Detecting Array... all of a sudden

[Burts]

I installed a athlon 4400 x2 2 days ago and did a fresh install of xp, but when I installed the xp it didnt ask me to hit f6 to install my sata drivers? Everything installed good, put all my programs on and it ran fine, even this morning I was online playing games. I turned my pc off and went and bought guild wars, so now I come home turn on my pc and get this.

Nvidia Raid IDE Rom Bios 4.84

do you have it running raid?

do you have 2 HD's are they sata or IDE?

[cmptrgydv]

oops ok raptor drive, just one?

[Burts]

Just one raptor, before I installed the sata drivers but this fresh install I didnt, I cant even get into my bios even though that screen comes on after the bios screen

[cmptrgydv]

well it's not running raid so you don't need the raid drivers, that's why the no F6
you need to go into the bios and set it to IDE,

and shut off the raid function,

I cant get into my bios, I hit the bios button but it takes me to the array screen, I also didnt install the ide sw driver that was on the nvidea driver, I heard it messes with the dual core cpu's. Should I disconnect my harddrive wires and try booting up, I already tried a different sata cable and same thing.

[cmptrgydv]

go into that raid setup screen and tell it to disable raid

The lights on my keyboard dont come on, maybe thats why when I hit delete I cant get into my bios. I cant get into any setup screens

[cmptrgydv]

but you should still be able to get to the bios, it does not come up and say hit delete
to enter bios?

do you have a splash screen setup?

I just disconnected the sata cable from motherboard and raptor, it goes through the bios screen where it says hit delete to enter setup or esc. to enter boot menu, I press delete but it takes me to the dam detecting array screen. Should I try taking out my motherboard battery?
