Should be a MSI 845 Ultra series (MS6398)

If your hdd is connected to additional UDMA/RAID controllers you'll have to install a driver during setup from floppy .
If it's connected to OnBoard IDE check jumpers and cables

I didn't download the bios, I was too scared that it'll screw my comp.

And then, I found a page which is the same problem at seagate:
http://www.seagate.com/support/kb/disc/ ... etect.html

with this, we searched a floppy and in the big box of the MSI 845 Ultra,
we found a floppy called: ATA133 Raid Driver

We did the instructions in the page and it worked!


I appreciate that you helped me... I thought no one would reply in the topic
