ASUS A8N SLi Deluxe help please.

Just got my ASUS through the post. Built it all fine. It posts and everything but when I try and Install Windows it won't install on the partition I've created.

I deleted the old one, created a new one but it says it's an incorrect file system or something. It keeps saying that everytime I re-boot and try again.

However, the board didn't come with a floppy disk for the RAID/SATA drivers.

Is that the reason why Windows won't install?

Also, and ideas where I can get the right Drivers? ASUS A8N SLi Deluxe with 32Bit Windows XP.
Thanks.

Yeah, I'm using the black one.
Top left one at the moment. I'll try the rest now.

Cheers..

Nope, I've tried in the top left black port and the bottom right black port. Still doesn't want to work.

I'm just trying it in the red ports now.

It's not even getting that far. It gets to the partition bit but won't go any further.

Thanks, I'll try that now. If not then I'll flash the BIOS to the latest one.

EDIT: It's not a new build as such, just replacing the Mobo.

Got it working at long last! Had to unplug the IDE drive and it worked just fine.

Thanks a lot!!

Another quick question: When I went to install the Motherboard drivers I found that the CD was broken....Is there any way I can get another?

Or can I download them? I've looked on the ASUS site but don't really know what I'm looking for tbh.
