    I have started up my PC after installing all the new components, and an error comes up saying:

    Scan devices, Please wait...
    Press <Tab> Key into User Window!
    Serial_Ch0 Master : No Device
    Serial_Ch1 Master : No Device

    it then changes screen and says:

    Fasttrak 378 (tm) Bios Version 1.00.0.37
    (c) 2003 Promise Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.
    Scanning IDE drives . . . . . . . .

    that then says bellow it and says:
    No drive attached to FastTrak controller, The BIOS is not installed.

    It finally stops at:
    Reboot and Select proper boot device
    or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key.

    I put my XP boot disk in and it comes up with the same reboot thing again.

    Does anyone know how i can fix this

    P.S
    specs

    Mother board - Asus A8V Delus Wifi
    AMD athlon 3200+
    Saphire Radeon 9600XT 256mb
    1024 mbram
    120Gb harddrive western digital
    LG - 16x Duel Layer DVD Burner
    LG - 52x CD Burner
    Sony Floppy Drive
    Xeon Tower

    I think that is about it.

    DOS diskettes and Fdisk are out-dated and, while they still work, are not needed.

    Have you configured the BIOS? it sounds to me like you need to set a boot order and if possible, turn off your RAID controller. (or set it to IDE mode). Setting the CD-ROM to the first boot device will allow you to boot from your Windows disk.

    also, are you using a Serial ATA hard drive?
