Hello Wali.

Maybe this post can help you out.

Good luck.

Thanks,
What I did last was at the CMOS set up just yes to optimum performance set up (verses settings page by page) save and exit eject the flopy let D8B reboot so far it is working fine.
Many thanks will keep in touch,
Wali Ashparie CTS.

Unfortunately, "optimum setup" for the BIOS is not what the d8b needs to see. You will have to meticulously set it up manually using the published settings.
