Abit IC7, Boot Problems with IDE harddrive

z0n3 · Jan 4, 2008

My Abit IC7 is not booting with my IDE hard drive. The drive works in the other computer I tested it in. I was able to boot from an IDE DVD drive. During boot I keep getting stuck at "Verifying DMI Pool Data......." I get passed with when I boot from the DVD drive but it stays there with the hard drive. What is happening and how do I fix it?

It might be a bad ribbon cable. Did you swap the whole cable + drive or just the drive itself.

z0n3 · Jan 4, 2008

Tried that as well. Didn't work.

Did you try the other IDE channel? swap it with your DVD.

Yes. Also did not work.

Reset the CMOS and put everything at stock volts and frequencies. I got that sometimes when I was overclocked, but it would start up at default speeds.

+1 - i've been getting this problem from time to time too. you can set your overclock again after it loads into windows for the first time.

Often wrong HDD jumper setting.

Resetting the CMOS did not work either. I'll check the HDD jumper settings next time I am around the computer.
