No Device Found / BIOS Not Installed
Nov 27, 2006
My sons friend dropped his computer off to be cleaned up. GOt into some areas that appears to have taken over his system and his Internet service canceled his account and told him to clean up his system. It was home built using a MSI mb MS6702 / K8TNEO FIS2R or K8TNEO FSR not sure which.I was going to format his system and reinstall his XP but as soon as you start the system you get the No Device Found message and then a BIOS not installed message. If you try to get into BIOS using MSI's instructions (DEL key) it will not go into BIOS so you can set-up the boot sequence etc. If you let the system continue to boot the system will boot into XP with no problem.

I had some trouble last night and today with getting rid of a virus. Now that it is gone, I am having sound problems (maybe related, maybe not). This morning, when I opened iTunes I got a message that there was no audio device detected. After trying several things, I rebooted. Magically, I could play music again. However, a short while later, I again got an error message telling me that there is no audio device found, even though it shows up in Device Manager as working properly. The problem goes away for a short time after I reboot, but returns. It is Realtek AC 97. Why won't my computer keep recognizing it? (It tried going to Realtek's site to download an update. It has updates for Windows 98, 95, etc., but not for XP. Or at least I couldn't find it.)

This has happened several times and I don't know how to correct it, if anyone has a suggestion please let me know. When I uninstall. unplug and remove drivers, for a USB device (web cam) and then reinstall it later Windows says it #2 or #3 or #4 but there is no other device. Why does it name it that way and how can I make it install as just that device.This has also happened when I installed a replacement NIC card.I hope someone understands what I am trying to explain.

I am trying to set the boot device for a thinkpad T23. Nothing is password protected. When the BIOS setup CDROM is top, with no + next to it, and followed by hardrive and them removable. HD and removable does have a + next to it. CD is bootable, why won't the thinkpad boot from the CDROM?

I'm using Win XP SP2 . I installed a second CD rom drive which was obviously no good because it caused the other one which is perfectly ok to show up in the bios as an unknown device. Both showed up in the bios as unknown device but the the first still showed up in system hardware the second one didn't.I removed the second one from the computer and the first one then showed up accordingly in the bios as the proper device but the bios is still saying the second one is an unknown device. Every time I start my computer I get the message secondary device missing press the F1 key to continue.

I have a problem with a workstation. It is not showing anything in the
Device Manager at all. I have checked the Plug and Play in the BIOS and it is
turned onWhere else can I check? This is strange. I have never come across anything
like this before.

I recently got myself another hard drive, that I wanted to install in my computer. From before, the computer contained a hard drive and a CD-burner. I do not have instructions on how to set the jumpers on the new hard drive to make it master or slave, so I had to try my way. I figured how to make it master, so the present configuration is that this new hard drive is secondary master, and the CD-burner is secondary slave. BIOS recognizes this, but unfortunately Windows does not seem to find any of the devices on the secondary controller with this configuration.

Since I have had my comp (going on 4 months), when I boot i get a message saying BIOS is not installed, which i find very hard to believe, but this never affects anything. today when i boot my comp, it starts loading and its:scaning IDE drives then it says something about BIOS not being installed (but it was a slightly different message, i didnt have enough time to record it). then i get some weird screen, it gave me the option of entering setup by pressing F1 or loading default settings by pressing F2. i rebooted, again the same message, so i just chose to load default settings, and everything loaded, but when i got to loading windows, i loaded it and then it crashed, the comp just rebooted. then i followed the steps again and loaded default settings and it loaded fine. i know i cant give details about the error screens as i didnt have time to record them, but what should i do if this happens again?

I have installed a Belkin USB 2.0 PCI card in my box (pc only had 1.1 on the board). I have an external WD hard drive that is USB 2.0. When I plug the hard drive into the USB 2.0 port I get a dialog box that says "No High speed USB hub found.... HI-SPEED USB Device Plugged into non-HI-SPEED USB Hub." When I look at my devices, I do not see any USB device that specifies USB 2.0, only the 1.1 device that is built in and the new card whci says "OPTi 82C861 PCI to USB Open Host Controller".
I have unistalled ALL USB devices and reinstalled, and still the same. I am running XP Pro , with SP2. The device manager shows no errors and reports that all devices are working properly. I have checked with Dell and there is no new Bios for my pc (Dimension 4300). Everything I have read said XP should support this card without any additional drivers.

When you click on the DVD icon in Device manager, it opens a window where you can troubleshoot the operation of the device. When I click on "troubleshoot", I get an error message indicating: "Marscore.dll not found", so I cannot troubleshoot the operation of my DVD player. I alos noticed that I get this same error message on some of my installed programs when I try to access the help files.

I recently found an old Gateway desktop in my basement. It is from a few years back, but I figured I'd do a clean install of Windows XP on it and run it in an extra room.I copied the drivers over using a program called DriverMax, and it seemed to work successfully. I had the internet right away and everything else I tried worked. The only problem I am having is that there is no sound. It also says there is no audio device found. Device Manager says I have the most up to date Legacy Audio Drivers, but I am still having this problem.Is there another driver that I might need in order for my computer to recognize an audio device.

After formatting and installing W2k on a DEll 4100 PIII I'm getting the 'new device found' wizard and it says I have a PCI device not being found.. But all my devices are working (i.e. modem, sound card etc.) When I right click on properties in the device manager it says "PCI Bus 0, device 31, function 3" Anyone know how I can tell what device it's finding and can't locate a driver for?

I've been trying to play a game at pogo.com and I keep getting a message that my Java is saying Java Not Found or Not Working. I have followed all instructions. I have removed J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 and reinstalled it. I have checked the control panel to see if Java is enabled and it is. I have cleared all cookies and history on my Internet options as well as deleted the files in the Java console.

every time windows starts up, the "found new hardware" wizard starts up, and a message pops up down the bottom right saying Quote: "Audio device on High Defenition Audio Bus" I have already installed this device, and I have sound working perfectly, so it should not be coming up!I have tried uninstalling the device, and re-installing the device, but it still pops up next time I log in!

I created a mess (but I'm learning more each day), and after a week got it going at least, but on boot got messagae "primary hard disc drive 1 not found" which required clicking F1 to continue. I ended up reinstalling XP, got everything up and running, but still have the HD message at each boot. I've passed all of the diagnostics in Set-Up, and found nothing on any of the troubleshooting sites that helped. Set-up says: Primary Drive 0 - Hard Drive; Primary Drive 1 - Unknown Device; Secondary Drives 0 adn 1 are both CD-ROM Readers. Everything works just fine, but I'd like to figure the drive problem. I had to create a partition for the reinstall - had no choice.

I recently reinstalled Xp after formatting the hdd, since I was giving a friend in need this computer. Everything went smooth and I left the computer in her possession. A few weeks later I was visiting her and was using the computer when I noticed there was no sound, where there had previously been sound. Upon opening sounds properties box I found a message stating that there was no audio device installed.I opened the device mgr and there was a yellow exclamation mark under "video controller" which was under "display." After doing some research, I came to the conclusion that the chipset driver needed updated or re-installed.

just installed a second internal hard drive. tried to access bios at start up (to setup hard drive) but system doesn't respond to ANY keyboard keys. system just continues with normal Windows boot-up. once XP is running all functions and software seem fine. no matter how many times I try at "Press Del to enter Setup" nothing works. Jusat before I had this problem, I had a problem with software (which I have removed) that caused my system to lock up. when I rebooted system stopped and offerred reboot options, ea: Safe Mode, but I the arrow keys would not work, system just went directly to Windows boot up.how can I access the bios if system doesn't respond to keyboard?

The USB ports on my friend's laptop (HP Pavilion DV6000 running XP Home) randomly stopped working about a week ago. He hasn't made any changes to the system in some time. When you plug in a USB device, it gets power, but the computer doesn't recognize it. Here's what I've tried so far:Uninstalled all USB drivers from the device manager Unchecked the "allow computer to turn off this device" option under power management Installed newest version of the nVidia cihpsetMade sure that USB is enabled in the BIOS Tried a registry fix found here http://forums.techguy.org/hardware/6...p-working.htmlUnfortunately, nothing has worked. What worries me is that I also tried using an Ubuntu live cd, and no USB devices were recognized there either. I'm thinking that this might be a hardware problem which can't be fixedI declare this problem unfixable?

Tried installing a program but it needed DirectX8.1.. Went to MS site and found that DX8.1 is already installed in XP. DOwnloaded and reinstalled anyway. Program still doesn't find it. Think it may be a registry problem but am hesitant to fool around with it. Anyone know how to make XP default to DX8.1? (There are other DirectX's in registry, i.e DX3, DX6 etc. Think it may be defaulting to one of these.

I have given my 40GB ATA HDD to my friend to fetch some movies he has got in his 160GB SATA HDD. He configured my HDD as secondary master and copied all the movies to mine. Later he removed my HDD and rebooted the system to find that his HDD isn't booting up. He says that his HDD isn't being detected in the BIOS. The well known error message "No bootable device found. Insert system disk and press Enter" appears every time he tries to boot his system. What can the solution other than formatting?( Formatting isn't favourable as there is critical data in the HDD).

WinXP with service pack 3 - has decided, overnight, that I have no audio device installed. I have checked under device manager and Creative Labs seems to be working. Have tried to update drivers but all drivers current. Have I got something configured wrongly?
