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.

  • "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.

    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.

  • I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 2011 MBP upgraded to Mavericks.

    hello,
    And thank you in advance.
    I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 20011 MBP upgraded to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Any ideas?
    I've downloaded the Window support option software and the WindowSetupBox.exe and copied it to the USB drive. I tried to create an iso image from my Windows XP machine but recieved messages that Windows 8.1 could not run on XP.  I've ordered the Windows 8.1 backup media.
    Any way to proceed?
    Thanks  Tim

    download the win 8 iso from here;

    then start over. install on to your usb along with the support software.

  • 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

  • BIOS not installed? Devices not Found?

    Pentium 4 3.0GHZ
    Kingston 2x512 Dual channel
    420 Watt power supply

    When the system boot up I get a message stating:

    I have no problem getting into the BIOS settings and making changes except the ratio for the CPU is Locked which I also can seem to unlock.
    Other then that my system runs fine and Windows XP work.
    I know the system is running at 200x15 because the Core Center.
    Any ideas about the BIOS or the LOCKED issue.

  • Bios not installed, device not found

    I'm sure someone can answer this, but I can't. When booting, I get the message "bios not installed" and "device not found." Now, I know it doesn't pertain to the actual bios, but what exactly does it mean? And how do I get rid of the message?

    Also, I built an ASUS version, not 64 but still AMD 3000, everything else is pretty much the same, and the Asus build smokes the MSI build. Anyone have an idea why?

    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?

  • "Product is not installed" message when running weblogic upgrade installer

    Hi,
    I have successfully installed WLS 10.3.5 and JDeveloper Studio using jdevstudio11116install.jar installer on my local machine running Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition . Now when I try upgrading WLS to version *10.3.6*, using wls1036_upgrade_generic.jar, I run into "*Product is not installed*" message. I tried even running wls1036_upgrade_win32.exe and the results are the same.
    Appreciate if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong. I only followed the WLS install/upgrade documentation but looks like something is amiss.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Appreciate if anybody out there can help me with the problem. I am wondering if the message cropped up due to the fact that I am trying to run a product upgrade specifically targeted at WebLogic Server instead of running a upgrade installer for jdeveloper since WLS 10.3.5 came with JDev installer in the first place. I am not aware if upgrade installlers are available for jdevstudio. Another way to put this is, I should have run WLS 10.3.5 installer first(instead of jdev) and the 10.3.6 upgrade installer next. That probably might have worked. Then again I am not sure this is correct.
    Appreciate any help on this.
    Thanks

  • How to deal with the "driver not installed" message?

    My issue, and it seems many others here have it too, is how to install a printer driver in the face of the "driver not installed" message.
    In my case, it's an HP4160 Rendevous printer. I've deleted the com.apple.print files in the Library, reinstalled the software, made sure that BDC package, or whatever it's called is installed, even downloaded and run the printer fix software from Fixamac.
    Nothing works.
    I have the feeling this isn't a printer or driver-specific issue, but is an OS problem. Does anyone have a suggestion?

    It appears the Deskjet 4160 will not work with an Airport. Connected via USB, the driver installs normally and the the printer appears to run just fine, although I haven't done much with it yet.
    It simply will not work on a wireless network through an Airport. Frustrating, but workable by bringing the laptop to the printer.

  • RE: : "AEC-6880 BIOS not install" error - fixed for me.

    To anyone receiving the POST error : "AEC-6880 BIOS not install" on a 645Max2, my problem was a dead Maxtor Plus9 disk.  
    Both disks in the mirror array were brand new 80GB parts, within three days i was getting the BIOS not installed error instead of the Acard utility telling me one of the disks was bad.  Pretty major ehh?!!
    I removed the dead disk and managed rescue the data from the working disk, so don't reformat them before you've checked that both disks are good!
    Hope someone out there finds that useful.

    Welcome to the Club! Got the same Problem and had a really hard time reaching the Customer Support because they were down due to maitenance! Just wrote to their experts chat and hope to get an answer in this life!
    I tried to authorize my Computer and eBookreader with a new Adobe-ID, but it says I've done used this ID too often, even though it was brandnew! Can't copy my just-purchased eBook because "Copying is not allowed".
    I hold my thumbs for you that Adobe solves this Problem fast enough. Other ways I'll sell my eBookreader and buy the Kindle-Reader from Amazon and say GOOD BYE to Adobe!

  • Windows Installer not installed properly, then boots to safe mode w/no backlight?

    I have only used my laptop for about 2 weeks.
    I tried to download an Adobe Reader update, and I got a message that said "Windows Installer was not installed correctly." 
    I retarted my computer, but it would only boot in safe mode. 
    I tried  a System Restore, but I got a message that said   "System Restore doesn't appear to be functioning properly."
    I tried to do a virus scan (just in case), but my computer will not connect to the internet, so that's not working, either. 
    I tried to restart once more,  but as soon as I went to put my password in, the backlight on the laptop would shut off, and then it would only boot in safe mode. 
    I put the laptop away for a little while because my life got very busy and I didn't have the time to deal with it. Today, when I turned the laptop on to try and troubleshoot, it booted  normally, and successfully- no safe mode, backlight still on- and then it told me that System Restore had worked. 
    What gives? 
    Anyone have any ideas what happened / what I did to make this happen / how I can avoid it in the future / if the computer is actually going to function properly or if it needs to be sent back? 
    Thanks! 

    Hello SuperNova and welcome to community,
    When you restore the system earlier to back date it did not get complete and also Windows 7 has startup repair option which fixes the common startup bugs.

  • 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.
