["M. Inyang" <i.mo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,
  I am having problems booting into my system after a
hard disk failure.  On power-on, the usual hardware detection
fails with the following message.
|----------------------------------------|
|Primary IDE Master - None               |
|Primary IDE Slave - None                |
|Secondary IDE Master - None             |
|Secondary IDE Master - CD-ROM/DVD       |
|CMOS checksum error - Defaults loaded E.|
|Press F1 to boot or F4 to enter setup   |
|----------------------------------------|

  The configuration I had before the failure was:

|----------------------------------------|
|Primary IDE Master - Fujitsu Hard Disk  |
|Primary IDE Slave - CR-RW               |
|Secondary IDE Master - None             |
|Secondary IDE Master - CD-ROM/DVD       |
|----------------------------------------|
Note:
1.  The power supply is ok because the CD drives opens and the HD indicator
lights comes on.
2.  I also used PC-Check software to check the system and it could not find
the HD or the CD-RW
3.  I changed the IDE cable and used another from a functioning PC and still
no good news.
Any help on how to resolve this.
Regards.
Inyang.
