40GB WD HDD on ProComp B687
Posted: Sun May 13, 2007 5:04 am
I found the patched BIOS for this motherboard here and tried it out. The motherboard now recognizes the hard drive, I can load W2K or WinXP to it but when it comes to the part of rebooting so the rest of the OS can load I get the message:
"Error Loading Operating System"
That is all that it says. I tried partitioning out the HDD to smaller partitions to see if that would work but it didn't. At first the BIOS must not have completely flashed right because even a working HDD with OS on it did not work (was previously in the system) it gave the same message. I re-flashed the BIOS and that one works fine now. I would really like to get this 40GB HDD working on this system as my other back-up system died.
Thanks,
J
