Detect drives done: no any drive found

[El Moose Monstero]

Am hoping someone can clarify this:

I've got an ASUS p5k motherboard and a maxtor diamondmax 160gb SATA hard drive connected together. I've built the system myself from scratch and new components, vista seems to have installed ok so far (still in progress) - but when it starts up, just after the BIOS option screen, it says 'detect drives done, no any drives found'. I've googled, but all I get is cryllic and french for the most part.

The drive is recognised in the BIOS, and vista seems to have installed ok, so what does the cryptic and badly spelt message actually mean?

EDIT: It comes up on a J-micron screen I think, but I'm not actually sure what that is - something to do with RAID? But I'm only running 1 HD, does that mean its safe to ignore?

There's a J-micron ATA controller for the PATA port. It also has two SATA ports on it. If nothing is on those, it comes up with that message (I think). You can disable the JMicron controller in the BIOS to get rid of the message. The drive you have is probably on the southbridge.

I have the same board, and I get the same message during boot. I'm using the other SATA plugs, so I don't care, and it doesn't hang around very long so I don't mind. I believe I've already turned off the controller for the PATA and eSATA in BIOS, though.

Good to know, thanks guys. Last time I built a computer, there weren't any of these fancy devices. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the size of the heatsink that came with the new CPU.
