Hey ppl.
My halo problem still isn't fixed (but thats not top priority right now)
After I had put my BIOS into its 'safe' settings it always says ' detecting ' just after the boot and then says
it can't load because no drives attached or something.
Any help on this? I think it should be an easy fix because It must only be in the BIOS.

Cheers guys.

happens some times when you update/edit BIOS

I don't exactly know what that is, but I don't see how it would be a fried chip or whatever, because I merely put it in safe mode?
Thanks for the reply tho.
