KT6 posts BIOS is not installed

KT6 posts "BIOS is not installed."
And really I can't enter the BIOS.
Anyway Windows works fine.
What does it mean?

give you a clue you have promise on board raid
i bet you have no drives attatched to it
so it does not install its bios
and it tells you this
you can disable it in intergrated periphals ,it say this in that funny book it comes with
as to the other hit delete
sorry if i seem harsh but there have been a thousand posts on this
searching only takes seconds

Hi,
Technomarv:
Listen to what others are saying! "The BIOS not installed" message is NOT a problem My machine says this EVERY time I boot Up! There is obviously something else wrong.
You say:

The problem does not appear to be with the boot sector as when I put the hard drive into another machine it boots perfectly. Once back in MSI machine the boot process hangs again. I therefore find it difficult just to ignore the PC when it tells me "The bios is not installed".
Am I to understand from this that your trying to boot the same hard drive using two different motherboards? If so - I'm not surprised it doesn't boot! It is advisable to do a full and new install of your OS - to your HD - when installing a new board.
You can't just move a hard drive from one machine to another and hope a boot will be successful (this can only be done when the motherboard and or add-ons are the same or very similar).

Fasttrak BIOS: "Bios is not installed"

The computer
CPU: Pentium-4 2.8C
MB: MSI 865PE Neo2-FIS2R @ 200mhz FSB (1:1 ratio)
MAT: Ultra-Turbo
DOT: Disabled
RAM: 2x512mb of Kingston HyperX ram (2.7v)
PSU: Generic PSU
CASE: Chieftec Dragon Silver Case
HDD: 2xMaxtor 80GB 6Y080M0 SATA150 Hard Drive
The problem: A cold cathode inverter went up in smoke and part of the computer caught fire. Luckily, nothing major was damaged. Just a few wires burned through. I taped up the wires that look with electric tape and disconnected thes stuff that looked bad.
The problem that caused: When drives are connected to the promise controller. It does not recognize any drives. It simply says "BIOS is not installed". Will a BIOS flash re-install the promise BIOS or is that irreperable? If a BIOS flash would do it, what's the best way to flash the BIOS (which parameters do I use & what not).
Any help as to why this is doing htis would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. The BIOS constantly forgets it's settings and says "CMOS checksum error, BIOS defaults loaded". I replaced the battery, disconnected the AC cord, and I'm waiting till tomorrow to turn it back on again to see if the new battery fixed the problem. If it doesn't, sounds like I need to RMA the motherboard, no?
BTW. I can RMA the motherboard because it was not damaged the slightest bit in the fire. The fire was very small and the radius of the "inferno" didn't go anywhere near the board. Which is why I don't understand why I'm getting this error. I wonder if just being disconnected for so long caused the battery to burn out. Anyway, to make a long story short, I hope it was just a dead battery and not a FUBAR board.

the raids not detecting the drives
so you need to find out why
either a bad sata lead,bad drive
or this fire buggered up more than you think

MSI-6565 "BIOS NOT INSTALLED"

Running a MSI-6565 with a PCI IDE Raid card using Raid 0 with 2 Maxtors. No hard drives attatched to the board itself. The system boots and runs fine. However, i cannot enter the Bios. I'm getting an error, "No drive attached to the FastTrack Controller. The Bios was not installed" Any thought on how to get into the Bios? Thanks, Chad

That's the o/b RAID bios. Enter the main bios and disable the o/b RAID since your not using it.

BIOS not installed to blinking dot black screen =|

I had the problem outlined in this thread here with the msg that BIOS was not installed, the only difference was that my computer wouldnt boot at all after and would get stuck on the No SATA devices found screen.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?sid=&postid=235472#post235472
I followed their advice, reset CMOS to get into BIOS and turned off the 2 SATA options.
Now when I reboot I get the MSI logo screen and then my monitor flicks off and on, and then I get a black screen with a white blinking dot in the top left corner.
Any ideas?

nevermind...
booted from cd and its all working now :D

BIOS Not Installed issue

My computer runs great but when it starts up it says that BIOS is not installed even though I flashed BIOS 1.20. Whats the Deal?

Hi
Thats normal, there are several options on that post screen. After a Bios update the system is set back to factory default. You will need to set up Bios again, best use the safe defaults, and set the boot sequence to suit your machine. Remember to save the settings before rebooting.

"BIOS not installed" error message.God help me!

Greeting all. I was so damn exited about getting this NEO875P-FI2SR board. I am beginning to wonder if the effort will ever be rewarded. Got everything plugged up tonight and fired it up and it says "BIOS not installed". I reset CMOS a couple of times and loaded the default set of parameters in the BIOS setup. Same stuff. I have been searching the forum fo other folks that have had this same issue, but no luck. Has anyone had any experience with this particular error message? Thanks guys.
Sam

I don't have your motherboard, but I have a question
Is the BIOS NOT INSTALLED message you are getting being showed after it displays FASTRACK.
Also does your computer still start Windows ??????
If so, then the message you see you do not have to worry about, I think it has something to do with RAID and no devices connected to it.

System Update Flash BIOS Update "Did not install"

Twice now I have experienced a problem using TVSU to update BIOS (Versions 1.58.0.0 and 1.59.0.0) in my ThinkCentre M92p. Each time the BIOS installs, but the message in the TVSU System Update "View installation history" window shows the Status as "Did not install." What could be causing this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Support is clueless, understood.
where the version 1.58/1.59 comes from , I have no idea
Bios doc states:
9. You may see a POST error "0162: Setup data integrity check
   failure" after reboot. It is a normal behavior. Press F1 to
   enter BIOS Setup Utility. If you are using WIN8 64-bit OS,
   change the Exit->OS Optimized Defaults to "Enabled", otherwise,
   please change it to "Disabled". At last, press F10 to save
   your settings.
==
If you installed this standalone, which you should. Your will probably see a failure 0162 which is normal per documentation. If this a Fail condition, i dont know. My Bios is older.
==
I am amazed to see su offer a bios update. ( power goes out, battery dead on laptop). This is a very senstitive update. .....The reposistory stuff I posted is just to peruse, look for 1.58. This is the SU package( written in xml. ). Not the acutal update.
I extracted your Flash code. No 1.58 anywhere.
IE,
download package for SU to use.. <wax (xml)
then actual download of package. What you can download manualy is not the same software Su is given.
==
Hope this helps. ? aways. Dont worry about what .xml is.   Your system SU aint working right for bios.
==
Simpler:
SU is given a xml file (text), to process to determine if update is needed.
Then it downloads the update, if you choose to install it.
Your symptom shows 2 versions of BIOS 1.58/1.59 did not install.   Crazy.
==
Maybe it got thru the xml package, and installed. then 0162. It worked correctly, but posted WRONG on your SU history. Either or, what you see on your screen sucks. 1.58/1.59, etc.

BIOS NOT INSTALLED message on boot

Help! I have just put together a new (used) system with a P4 2.88 Ghz cpu & MSI 875 NEO FSR mainboard and I get the message 'BIOS NOT INSTALLED' on boot immediately after the first line. (before POSTS?) ANyway, it doesn't seem to stop or impede the system in anyway but is just an annoyance. Any advice would be very welcome. Thankyou, Chris

Like pharao said, you need to go into the BIOS & disable the Promise chip if you're not using it. I used to get the same message & it puzzled the bugger out of me.

ICH5R - bios not installed?

Sorry if I am going over old ground but I assume I get this message on boot up as I have no Serial ATA devices? It saus 'No devices found' then 'BIOS not installed' and boots just fine.
Just want to make sure this is not a problem with the board?
Thanks.
Matt.
ps..bios is v1.4

You really should use the search function of this board before posting. The boards are full of the same questions asked over and over. This would be a better approach then asking the question again and then saying your sorry. 8)
It would also really help if you posted how many, the type of drives you are using(PATA or SATA), whether they are set up RAID or not, and finally how are they connected.
With out this info it is hard to give you a precise answer but I will take a shot. :P
If you have no devices attached to the Intel SATA disable it in the bios. It is under the integrated peripherals section "On chip IDE configuration".
If you have a PATA drive or drives connected on the Promise controller disable SATA on the controller.
Double check that the promise controller is set for the proper mode "P-ATA only"
Just look through the bios settings boot section carefully.
Post more specific info on your configuration if you require further assistance.
Polecat out

Is this a SATA hard drive by any chance? Sounds like you have an Adaptec SCSI controller, but no hard drive attached to it. Are you booting an install DVD of some sort?
