Question : Problem: Why "BIOS is not installed" message during startup?

During startup i get the "BIOS is not installed" message but XP loads and computer seems to run OK except that it is slow.

Any ideas why this message appears?

I aslo have a System error flag showing a RAID Controller error.  I'm running Serial ATA single drive formatted  as three drives

Thanks

Elton

You are getting the error because there is some SCSI or RAID controller in your system that has no drives attached to it.  Go into the system BIOS and disable any controllers you are not using.
