no boot-MSI max 655

greetings

i just put together a computer for the first time.

northwood 2.4 processor
msi max 655 board (msi-6730) with promise 2037 raid
512 apacer ram
gainworth ti 200 video card

beeped..

flashed a screen that said "nvidia gforce 3 VGA Bios"

then a screen that said "FastTrack 376 Bios VGA
no drive attached to fasttrack controller, the bios is not installed"

then a final screen that says
"boot failure. insert boot diskette in A
press any key to continue"

the message comes up again when i press a key, not sure what the poroblem is, probably just a newbie mistake

figured id post here to see if i could get any answers till i got my friends that know what their doing over here.

thanks in advance

well I havent had any experience first hand with the raid model but from what you say it just doesnt see the drive

question 1: how many drives and devices you have on the controller ?

question 2: hmmm, wait let me know the answer to number one first, I think I know what is your problem

thanks for reply

i have one drive. a 80gb WD drive. at first when i posted this, i had it on IDE 1. i tried again later with it on IDE 3 and it gave me a chance to set the array for the promise raid thingymabob. i had it automatically set the array and reboot. now it recognizes the drive, yet still gives me the message "boot failure. insert boot diskette in A
press any key to continue"

thanks in advance
