Thanx for the reply
I've been through the Bios settings so many times, I can nearly recite them from memory. There is no option to boot directly from the SATA controller and the only option to auto detect Hdd's is in Standard CMOS Features. This limits autodetect to finding Ide or Cd-rom drives and nothing else. I'll just have to keep trying until I either get it working or someone comes up with the solution.
