(solved)Why booting on stops at intel sign?
jraju:
hi, Please see the bios setting

Hi Jraju,
I am confused :confused:
Can you clarify, are all those screen shots from your friend's PC? (I thought that you could n't get into the BIOS).
Is the WD SATA HDD, the original "failed" drive?
Have you installed the OS (on another PC) onto a Seagate PATA HDD, that is recognised in another machine, but not in his/ hers?
Is the PATA IDE controller enabled in the bios of the machine in the screenshots?
Shane:
In the last image I only see sata drives listed, Pata would be the IDE drive, and it doesnt show anything.

Hi, Samson,
I know that it is something in bios setup that I get the problem.
I tried to short the cmos battery and removing the battery etc, but still it stops at intel sign.
I think that the above would lead to the factory setting of bios. Still the problem persists.
My friend has given the hard disk to me and i am testing that in my computer.
I also heard that the update failure of bios would be the reason for this sort of behaviour.
While i reset the cmos , i should get the factory bios set up. So, problem should not be there.
I tried legacy option in the boot menu, but nothing new happening.
To my puzzle, in legacy setting, (another one enhanced), the present hard drive failed. When i correct to enhanced mode the wd hard drive boot normally.
I clearly suspect that it is in bios settings that it gives the problem.
I also read that update version of bios , it goes to sleep mode, if boot up and there is some problem in that latest update. But in factory settings also the problem is not solved.
If i thought of jumper replacing and flashing thro bios, there is risk of creating bootable usb to flash the files. there is no floppy disk usage now. No floppy disc availabe in market also.
When i tried the update, with recommended settings , the bios update by eb.exe, gave me successful installation message.
I think that there is a setting in bios that must be changed to something to get the hard drive life.
Intel stopped support for this product and it is waste of time to get support from intel. They never listen to complaints.
Above all, my initial system was xp and the drivers for xp, sometime gives problem if i upgrade to win 7.
I have mother board cd with me from intel. But i do not find it goes to the intel download screen. I get internal error . Shane, is the bios file not present in mother board cds.
Why i am not getting notification of repllies in my email for the past two days?

Hi, Samson,
The problematic hard disk is seagate hard disk 250 gb. I am testing that in my computer to find the problem. what is legacy settings. I have some 5options in the settings in the latest bios. Which should i choose. I will write the options in the next post.
Why i am not getting email alerts of replies, which i was receiving .
Update: When i select legacy mode in the drive configuration
I get 4 options, of which i do not know which to select,
a sata p0/p2,p1/p3,
b sata p1/p3,pata
c sata p0/p2,pata
d pata only
how to check whether bios is in factory settings, after removing cmos, and short circuit the cmos ends. When i did i get , cmos date not set message, while booting.
