Hi, I got this message when i start my computer (No drive attached to FastTrak controller, the BIOS is not installed.) Right after the memory test. BUt i didn't have this message before, I was in the BIOS mode trying to disable my PC from checking the floppy drive everytime it start and shutting off...I think i trigger something and made this message appear..Please help. Thanks.

I assume you indeed don't have installed a drive on the Fasttrack (RAID) controller? In that case there's nothing wrong with your computer. The fasttrack bios is a separate bios that controls a RAID configuration. But if you don't use RAID (there is actually no drive attached to the controller), the bios is not loaded. I don't know how you can "remove" this message, but I wouldn't worry about it.

If you want to get rid of the message, in the BIOS setup there is normally a page dealing with integrated periphrals, in there is normally USB ports, onboard sound etc. You should see an option to disable the controller, if you are not using it then this is a good idea as it saves resources!

Hi, I try disable it, but still that message appear.. I think the problem is that the BIOS is not installed? the BIOS for the FastTrak? Fritzo said it's a separate bios, This FastTrak thing is for the SATA controller. But I arn't using this device at all..so..i have no idea why it appear.. Is there a way to downgrade my BIOS, i think i did upgraded it.. Thanks.
