Hi guys
Here is another fix it for the hell of it motherboard
Its a RC410-M2 REV .0 motherboard from an Acer T650 desktop
It has a problem with the SATA ports
If I try to install Windows (Any version) from DVD or from USB it gets to the point where it wants to format the HDD and says there is no HDD present. I have tried with several SATA drives and with different cables. The SATA drive detects in the BIOS just fine
I installed Windows 7 on a SATA hard drive from USB flash drive on a similar motherboard. I then fit that hard drive on this motherboard it boots to the point where the animated windows logo appears and then crashes and reboots
I then tried to install windows on an IDE drive (this motherboard supports both) and that works. If I boot from the IDE drive into Windows 7 with a SATA drive attached, Windows does not see the SATA drive - even though the BIOS does. I've tried different SATA ports.
My best guess is that something is wrong with the South Bridge, or something is screwed up in the BIOS. I would like to fix it for educational value. Any suggestions?
