November 11, 200718 yr Moderator I have a self-built system based on the 875P Neo chipset. Processor is Intel P4 3.0GHz. It was built back in Jan 2004.Booting up this morning a message was displayed saying the CMOS was incorrect. On further investigation neither of my two SATA drives are recognised in the bootup options - just a IDE CD drive. The drives are connected okay and it seems inconceivable that both have failed.I'm guessing that something on the mobo has failed - probably the SATA controller. Given the age of this system I'm finding it difficult to find a suitable mobo.Can anyone recommend a suitable alternative? I'm in no hurry to buy a new system and even when I do this system will be used in a network.Thanks for any help. Ray (Cheshire, England).

November 11, 200718 yr Author Moderator Panic over! Something had changed in the BIOS and had disabled the SATA controller. Phew! Ray (Cheshire, England).
