Fail to boot with xD/SMC card attached

Dashken · 22nd May 2006, 02:01 PM

I have a problem here that I would like to know if anyone experience before.

I have a 15 in 1 card reader (Model GO-C15LA-F) here. When I try to boot up with either xD or SMC card attached, my computer won't boot into Windows but will stucked at an empty DOS screen with a blinking cursor.

But this doesn't happen with other slots like SD, MMC, MS, MSPro, CF and MD.

Any idea why is that?

This is most often because of the boot priority set in the system BIOS. Make sure that the hard disk drive is set ahead of removable media, or if you want to keep the standard order (removable media 'aka floppy', CD-ROM, HDD) then change the order for removable media devices.

In the end, it has something to do with the BIOS problem. Intel will fix it. Anyway, thanks for the info.
