POST Question

[Xterminator49]

During POST I receive a message saying "BIOS is not installed", but my
computer boots up fine and I don't have any noticable issues with it. I was
wondering if anybody can tell me what that means and if I can possibly get
rid of it.

This message is generated by computers with SCSI / RAID controllers when no
bootable drive is detected on the controller. This is not an error message
unless you have a bootable drive on the SCSI / RAID or you are wanting to use
a SCSI or RAID drive.

If you are not using a SCSI or RAID drive and your computer has onboard a
SCSI or RAID controller, this message can be disabled by entering the
computer BIOS and disabling the onboard SCSI or RAID.

You probably have a controller in your system that is capable of attaching a
SATA drive, but you do not have one installed (You may use an IDE drive, or
perhaps have one SATA where two are possible)

The warning is not important, and can be safely ignored.

It wasn't near what I thought it was LOL. Thank you guys, I am not currently
using SATA so I am going to go to the BIOS and see if I can disable it.
Thanks again.
