Dimension 8400 - updated BIOS to A09, and now it tells me there is no boot disk
I recently acquired a Dimension 8400 from a friend's estate. He'd already done a full reinstall of XP Service pack 2 on it before he passed, and I updated it fully to SP 3 last night. I also changed out the battery yesterday.
It had been running perfectly fine for hours. THEN, I decided to check for a BIOS update (was A07). I downloaded and ran the BIOS update, and now I'm stuck with a black screen saying "No Boot Device Available"
What went wrong?

SATA mode changed from RAID Autodetect ATA to RAID Autodetect AHCI
STOP 0x0000007B code (INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE)

Speedstep:
Your answer did help - though, instead of the Autodetects, I had to change it to the 3rd option (RAID) to get it to boot up.
Thank you.
Now, If I could just figure out what's messing with my Vostro 400, I'd be set. (first posted a couple months ago - doesn't even make it to the boot screen sometimes, other times shuts off cold as I'm working)
