YES! It IS detected in BIOS

where does it give this error? when u try to install windows? or during bootup?

[mystika2002]

Both, really. After a long, disappointing and nerve-wracking day, it finally loaded. I installed some other software successfully (wow) but when I clicked to play it....it went back to the blue screen of death and suggests that settings in bios are screwed up.

I don't know why they should be? Nothing was changed!

you may need to replace the battery on your bios chip. or maybe even the bios chip itself is dead.
