I have been given the task of installing a configuring this main board. I have made a few computers in my time but this MB is a real pain in the rump!
It is a new MB, new Corsair memory (2 1gig DDR2), an Intel quad core CPU and fan. Two used SATA 2/80 gig drives, a used DVD R/W drive, a used IDE zip drive, a floppy drive and a new P/S 800WT.
I will post more if needed, install went great. No problems with anything, BIOS found all drives and the other drives. The floppy drive light stayed on after I hit the F6 key.
I booted to the XP Pro CD and no HD found, fine since it has SATA drives I will load the drivers with F6 at boot. The provided Floppies did not work; the floppy drive light was on after I hit F6 but not before.
I checked the floppy disk on another computer and worked great, I used a known good floppy drive with the same results, I used another known good floppy drive cable.
I have tried the F6 to load drivers; I used both the blue cable and the black drivers.
I tried booting in to the RAID section and selecting RAID, I just used one drive and using known good SATA cables.
I have used every thing on the MB we site and can not get to the drives even though the BIOS can see them. Help
