hi ppl got an asus k8v-se dx when booting it says no bios found
do i have to put bios in b4 windows, because when i try load windows it fails atset up installing devices no input device
any ides thanx inadvance
looked in bios dont know if set up right
it has a 120 hdd and 8 x dvd rw
1st on primary master 2nd on secondary master
it tries detecting devices ,they r not found but recognised in bios
it then says bios not found
do i have to put bios ontop a floppy
i have no manual the vendor didnt send it
thanx for ypur time in helping
checked all cables and drives all ok
keeps saying bois not installed it may be set up for raid but ive only 1 drive in it and its wanting the drivers for the set up
im lost and losing it
Is it at all possible to try a different mobo? Or a different drive? Or either, in another computer? If it tells you there's no bios with different drives, or in other computers, yours could be what we like to call a paperweight. See if you can't rma that board.
ive been on asus web site do i need to flash bios if so how as ive never done this ive put flash and bios onto a floppy
this is driving me insane
There will be a program to do the flashing (Afudos), and the BIOS file to flash to. Copy them both to a bootable floppy disk. Boot from the floppy and when it asks you what file you want to use point it to the bios file (probably ends in ".bin") and let her rip.
when you say bootable wont the floopy boot any way
Not unless you transfer the system files to it.
1) Open Windows Explorer
2) With a blank disk in the Floppy Drive, right-click on A:\ and left-click on "Format".
3) Make sure you check the box I marked in red (see pic)
4) Copy "Afudos" and the BIOS file (make sure you extract it first) to the bootable floppy you made
5) Boot from the disk and run "Afudos" from the command prompt
Make sure the Floppy Drive is set first in the boot order in the BIOS.
I have an Adaptec 2940 SCSI PCI card and just have cdroms and a scanner hooked to it. I get the bios isn't installed because there are no HDD or it doesn't boot from SCSI,one of those. It has been a long time since I had to know. Just know it is normal if you have SCSI.
hi put bios on floopy it says it wont write to disk
can sum1 just type how i should be naming the file as i dont know if what im doing is right
thanx next thing is a shot gun :bawling:

I'm guessing that this happens when you try to backup the old bios. Make sure the floppy disk is not write-protected (the little sliding tab on the disk should cover the hole) and save the old bios with a simple name like A:\oldbios

What exactly do you see when you turn on the computer? (And in what order?)

If possible, try the drive in another computer, too.

To which connector are you attaching each drive?
ASUS download page is here.
