    iam getting a "Error Loading OS@ message when i boot up my pc.
    My os is on an Serial ATA connection, i have 2 250gigs connected to the mobo(prm) and 2 cd rom drives connected to the mobo(sec). the problem started when i connected a Hard Disk conrtolled. from this i have 2 160gigs. In my Bios i have the Serial ATA as the first boot up and all others disabled. does any one know how to fix this problem?

    If your motherboard has more than 2 stat ports make sure there all activated in the bios.

    Try looking here for help......

    Abit support forums

    It seems that the Mobo is taking the drive on the HD controller as your primary drives instead of the ones connected to your mobo where your OS should be installed.
