No any device exists ! WTF ?

[Rizzler]

When my Asus P7P55 boots it says scanning for devices, please wait... after a while a red message comes up below it saying : " No any device exists !" and then proceeds to boot.

What is it scanning for ? All my devices are installed and working. Never seen this before.

Do you use a virtual drive (to load images, etc)?

Nope nothing like that . I do run VMWare Workstation sometimes but that's it.

Hey Hey

You can disable the IDE controller in the BIOS if you have no IDE drives connected.

This is what I suspect is giving you that message.

Thanky you. I wondered if it was some legacy device. I'll give it a try

OK problem solved thanks. The IDE controller was diabled but seems i had to set each of the empty SATA connectors to "not installed" vs "auto-detect". Well thats what I did and the message is gone.
