removing "press any key to continue"?

What other options are available besides Auto for the IDE Primary/Secondary you're using? Maybe if you chose the actual device it would skip the menu screen.

Attachment 215206


Tried master PIO Mode 0 and slave PIO Mode 1 with no success.

Did BIOS reset,connected OD at the end of IDE cable jumpered as master,connected second HD in the middle jumpered as slave.Have detection but not any drives.Where are the settings offering AHCI, IDE, SATA, RAID, etc.?

First I want to just confirm that both the IDE HD and OD show in BIOS but they do not show in Windows?

where can i set RAID mode for the Onboard JMB361 Mode of Integrated Peripherals in BIOS?

This would be the setting "IDE\RAID Control".

I think Greg's referring to manually setting the drive under this section, he can correct me if I'm wrong


And under one of the IDE drives here what options do you have for "Access Mode"?

Does pressing Ctrl - J while the pausing boot screen is displayed do anything?

Most likly need the "IDE\RAID Control" set to RAID for this to do anything but try it set as IDE as well to cover everything. This should open the RAID setup screen although the manual states to press it during POST but that pause screen is probably still part of the POST.

I having a little trouble understanding these settings


From the manual

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO
The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output) fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for
each of the four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface supports.....

There's only one IDE port and 1 SATA port controlled by the JMicron and 4 SATA ports controlled by the Intel, any thoughts?

What does the "On-Chip Secondary PCI IDE" enable/disable?
The "IDE\RAID Control" set to disable appears to disable the IDE port.

Yes, I was "grasping" there. I too think that pause screen is part of the post and it was worth a shot to try it.

Can't hurt or shouldn't hurt.

I see only a single IDE connector on that board. No secondary channel (although the only channel is labeled as IDE1 rather than IDE0). I was thinking that the secondary channel options aren't even relevant for this model board. Maybe he should disable the "On-chip secondary PCI/IDE"

I first thought the "On-chip secondary PCI/IDE" was referring to enabling/disabling the JMicron controller (IDE/SATA1) but the "IDE\RAID Control" seems to do that. Maybe both do.

It would be intresting to know what happens when he disables the "On-chip secondary PCI/IDE", does the JMircon detection screen disapper?

Also as you can see in my screenshot in Post #83 there is 6 drives listed but from my calculations the board can support up to 7 drives just to add more confusion (5 SATA, 2 IDE). We do though have to take into consideration that I referring to the manual for my info and manuals are not always accurate and also depend on BIOS versions.

Maybe the OP needs to select IDE PRIMARY MASTER and IDE PRIMARY SLAVE and set them to autodetect. It may be the default values won't detect (currently appearing as "NONE").

If your referring to the screenshot I posted in Post #83 then that was taken from the manual but if the OP is indeed displaying none then setting all Drives as Auto should be able to detect them or at least the Optical Drive.

@proudtobegreek
We are talking about the MSI P965 Neo (MS-7235) listed in your specs right?
