Help!!

Just built and flashed up - a bit stuck with what to do next. All seems ok (all hardware seemed to be recognised) after the intial BIOS screen but now the screen message reads '==freeware== Ver2.92.6 Pixellab'

Is it at this point I load the OS.

This may seem daft but this is my first ever build.

thanks in advance

What are you trying to do?

If there is no OS installed you need to put the disc in the CD/DVD ROM drive and then reboot your machine. If the PC doesn't do anything go into your BIOS and set your CD/DVD ROM as the first boot device.

Assuming all is well the Windows setup should begin. Just follow the on-screen prompts and away you go.
