Yes, enter the bios by pressing the del key on start up, you will need to have the usb device connected.
Enter the advanced settings tab and your usb device should be selectable as a boot device.
If the bios has no such option, find out what bios revision you are using (on the first blue screen after hitting the del key) and check the asus website for a bios revision that is newer.

Hi
remove the HDD from you mother board and start you system If you able to get in to the BIOS set then there may be short circuit in the HDD

pliz help me i want to download mother board installer for asus p4ge-mxacpi

If the BIOS cannot detect the hard drive then :-
1. The hard drive data cable or power connector may not be inserted properly.
2. The motherboard disk controller is faulty.
3 The hard disk is faulty.

To test the motherboard disk controller, connect another hard disk to the motherboard and go into the BIOS to see if it detects the hard drive.
If it detects the hard drive, then the other hard drive is faulty and need to be replaced.
Another way to test the "faulty" hard drive, connect the hard drive to an USB hard drive adapter and plug it into a working computer's USB port. If this computer sees it as an external hard drive and you can open the folders and files the the hard disk is OK, and the fault is a faulty disk controller on the motherboard.

Go to asus.com and enter your info there. You will be shown a page with all the pertinent drivers for your computer. Download your audio driver and then install it. If you still don't have any audio after that then your integrated sound card may be burned out. You can easily fix that by getting a PCI sound card.

If you lose time and day, means the little battery on your motherboard is done. Get a new one, replace it, should be fine then. As far as booting into BIOS, there should be a boot option, and you can boot into a hard disk, a usb or a cd rom drive. Of course in this case, choose the hard disk that has your operation system on it.

Try Hirens Boot CD. It has a lot of programs on it to detect format etc.
I think your hard drive has a missing or corrupt MBR and it needs to be replaced.
When I have had a hard dive not recognized I hve used Super Fdisk to format and reset hard drive.
On the boot disk

wow yea it's looking for grub/linux i did that same thing once you need the xp install disc insert that hopefully you can get into your bios then go and set it to boot from disc restart and go through the options till you get to repair and type in fixmbr
