Ok, the solution was that I needed to copy some files of the motherboard drivers cd onto a floppy disk and then when windows XP installation first starts up push F6 and isntall the drivers. Now I have windows installed but how do I get the computer to boot from the hard disk? What boot device do I select as the primary boot device in BIOS for a SATA drive (SATA isnt one of the options) SCSI maybe? Any SATA owners out there who know?
These are exactly the things written in the ASUS FAQs! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Maybe this will help:
[color:"yellow"]Load Onboard ATA BIOS / Onboard ATA Device = "Auto" or "Enable"
SCSI / ATA100 Boot Sequence = "ATA 100 / SCSI"[/color] [color:"red"]( ATA100 before SCSI )[/color]
[color:"yellow"]Other Boot Device = "Onboard ATA Boot Device / SCSI" [/color]
Boot Sequence: [color:"yellow"]"Other Boot Device"[/color] [color:"red"]before[/color] [color:"yellow"]"IDE Hard Drive"! [/color]
Example:
1. Removable Device
2. ATAPI CDROM
3. [color:"yellow"]Other Boot Device Onboard ATA Boot Device / SCSI [/color]
4. IDE Hard Drive
