Hi,
Some directions for you OK turn off and PSU and remove the power cord. Carefully take the PC apart remove all the components from the case as well as the Motherboard Place on a cardboard box or insulated surface, and plug in the 24 pin and the CPU
power plugs for the Motherboard. Do not plug in any other leads to the board.
Just to check out if the MB even understands the drive itself I have also made some testing: I always strip any partitions out of USB drives when I buy them, Delete the partition or Volume and then make a new simple volume and Format to FAT32 I do this with every USB drive I get as I detest the formatting and software on them done by the Manufacturers is more trouble than they are worth. I Normally do this with
Windows Disk Manager However if you are having trouble Deleting the Partitions on you USB drive or you have a failed attempt pleas download and use Partition Magic to remove all partitions on the USB and then create a new a single partition formatted to FAT32
What is your LED status like? Does it stay on or just go off after 5 blink?
The LED just shuts off after the five blinks, and never reaches the point where it blinks faster indicating the BIOS is writing. I think it is having difficulty recognizing the BIOS on the drive, but I have tried every drive that anyone I live with owns and have reformatted all of them to FAT32.

just for giggles Reformat one of the Drives to NTFS and put the BIOS on it and see if it accepts it like that
This doesn't get mentioned much, but most people do not go into Windows 10's File Explorer options and change things. You have to go in to Windows 10 File Explorer by right-clicking the Start Menu and click "File Explorer". Then the "View" tab, then "Options" all the way to the right. With a new window that pops up, click on the "View" tab and then UN-check the option that says "Hide
extensions for known file types". Click Apply, OK, etc. What's happening is if you don't do that, you are actually naming the ROM file MSI.ROM.123 because you can't see the extension after the dot. You need to be able to see the full file name so that you can rename it properly to just MSI.ROM. Many people are having this issue thinking it's a USB stick or any other number of other problems. But this is an easy fix.
I'm having the same problem and I know for a fact that I did everything right but I'm really not sure why this sis happening. Is there any way I could resolve this without having to return the board? and if I were to try to cancel the process what would i do? just turn off my psu? |
