Problem booting up XP Pro - Error message...

    Just had a black screen while booting my DELL running XP Pro.

    The message read:

    "Intel Matrix Storage Manager option ROM v.5.0.0
    Option ROM will not be loaded.
    No boot device available.
    Strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility."

    I tried both F1 and F2. Nothing happened in either case.

    I then tried Ctrl/Alt/Delete and the computer continued the startup successfully.

    Any ideas what problem I have developed, if any?

    Many thanks.

    D.

    I assume you are using SATA drives?

    Basically it's a raid manager that failed to load your drive. I wouldn't worry about it however I would check your mainboard vendors site to see if it's a known issue. If so upgrade your bios or at least have a bios upgrade disk ready in case it happens permanantly.

    Go into your bios and see if the drives are picked up

    Just now got a delayed startup where a message said that the volume is dirty and it was checking all files and folders.

    Then there was a message saying that checking was complete and everything was OK.

    The startup then resumed and completed.

    How do I go into the bios to upgrade it? If I have auto updates selected, would all of these things be updated automatically anyway?

    As to the vendor, I have Belarc Advisor and I just ran it. The main circuit board is Dell Inc. 0FJ030, for what that's worth.

    I really appreciate the feedback!

    Thanks.

    D.
