New build in progress

Ok all most of my parts arrived today so I'm starting my first build. I've got everything layed out ready to go. I notice that the mobo battery is already installed. Should this be removed prior to starting?

hehe I'll put up a pic as soon as it is presentable

It looks fairly straight forward but I have doubts about the wiring. The P180 isn't the best and I was really hoping to keep the upper drive carriage as well ... we'll see how it pans out. I'll be back with more questions later

Told you I'd be back ... ok I've plugged in the front panel indicator lights, power switch and led and the reset switch. The arrows on the plugs I have lined up with the ""Positive" sign on the pins. Now I've come to the front USB and the Audio plugs. The plugs have the arrow on them to line up with positive on the pins but the pins on the mobo have no positive sign. The mobo instructions do not show which way the plugs need to be orientated ...any hints welcome.
Oh, it would help to say I've got an Antec P180 case and the Gigabyte EX58-UD3R mobo

ok all is plugged in and ready to go ... is there anything that should be done prior to starting up for the first time?

A shakey finger is reaching for the big button

ok it says update success ... disc boot failure ...install system disc ..
I presume this is where I chuck in the windows disc?

timbo2410 · 14 Nov 2010 at 10:46

ok done that and now windows is installing. Once done I'll install the mobo drivers and video drivers. Are the drivers for the dvd/bluray needed or will windows pick them up and install them?

timbo2410 · 14 Nov 2010 at 11:00

ok will do it in that order ... windows is asking for me to install a password. I don't want one so do I just leave it blank and click NEXT ..

timbo2410 · 14 Nov 2010 at 11:39

ok done that ... I am attempting to install the mobo driver from the disc but it just comes up with "not responding" when trying to run the exe ... do I need to run the disc while booting or something?
