From: jenny on 18 Jun 2005 10:44 Hi, I have a Dell 4600 with Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A10 and lately the boot says SATA Primary drive 0 not found SATA Secondary drive 0 not found Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility This happens every start up. I just did a reformat and installation of the Dell Reinstallation CD for OS and now it just stops there and goes nowhere after hitting F1. HELP!

Have you tried going into the BIOS and setting all to default settings then saving and exiting? This'll reset any custom settings you made previously of course, so consider carefully before trying.

It should have asked you to hit key F6(I think) and insert the flopy with the sata drivers on it.

all fixed. I was given the Dell. Someone had messed with the BIOS. It was happening because there aren't any sata drives in this dog. lol |
