But the floppy cable is all messed up. And I need it to install the BIOS.

Okay Bios was on there already, but I need to figure a way out from the BIOS to make the 150 GB Raptor the main boot drive. :S
Isnt there a setting in the BIOS for that like "boot drive X:\" just a guess.

Anyhoo... back to the problem at hand - There should be an option in the BIOS to select the boot order... Look for words like 'boot' and 'order'... or similar...

It should make all sorts of horrible noises when the GPU isn't detected (usually).
Also, what I should've said is that it never is in my experience - because I put the GPUs in properly.
Good work getting it going though.

Since I'm guessing your BIOS is similar to mine, it should be in Advanced BIOS Features, it's quite obvious - but make sure to set the optical drive to boot before the HDD. You'll have to set priorities for HDDs and removable storage seperately in the sub menus.
Yeah. I figured the BIOS was on there already....it had to be. And good thing is I don't need a floppy drive, because mine wasn't working anyways.Bertster7 wrote:

And thanks, that's what I was concerned about actually. The priority was 1. removable 2. cd rom 3. HDD so I was kind of confused and didn't touch anything.
Thing is - I tried booting up vista and it was working okay and everything, except it wouldn't let me install windows to the 150 GB, because it says the computer needs to be set to boot from the Raptor.

If so, go into the HDD priority sub menu and move the Raptor to the top of the list.
Did that, nothing happened. Windows says there's not enough allocated space or something when I try to install to the Raptor... I dunno. Vista sucks.Bertster7 wrote:

I'm gonna try formatting the drives via a program my friend has soon, see if that works.
