mlegg510 Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 ugh, maybe I am tired from working too much this week, but I cannot figure this out ~ and will kick myself when I see the answer I rebuilt several PCs this week, now I am on my last case. This is a Win 98 machine on a network and the only purpose of this machine on the network is for guys to read email through Outlook Express and occasionally browse to some Chevy sites for images. I ripped out all the guts on 5 machine totally so I could clean, replace RAM, bad HDs, etc. This machine is a Pentium 3 processor @ 700 Mhz. In one PCI slot is a Promise Technology Ultra 66 V 1.14 card (will take the transfer speed from 33 to 66 Mb ~ with all the right conditions). I could care less about this and only want the HD hooked up to the mobo and skip this. I formatted this HD on another machine so is blank and ready for Win 98 to go on it.Here is the problem, when I boot the machine it says Ultra 66 not found..... error.So I go into the BIOS to see how to disable it an enable the onboard ATA controller. It seems there is no option to do this , or I am blind and too tired How can I get this off the BIOS entirely and not get this error anymore ? Here is a pic too (notice you can hook up 2 devices, but I have no need for this) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe take the battery out and see if it reverts back......just guessing you see......Hahahahahaha..... Edited September 4, 2005 by il_wiccan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
