XP onto SATA

tyranus · 18 Apr 2006 at 14:59

i've just brought an ASUS K8N4-E DELUXE PCI-E mobo, got all the stuff out of the box, no SATA driver floppy. Great.

A scan of the manual indicates that there should be a section to create a drivers floppy from the CD. ok, except on my CD the is no way to create a floppy.

does anyone have any ideas? i never had this trouble with my old msi mobo, i dont wanna splash out more cash on yet another mobo

wouldn't have a clue of how to slip stream, etc, and asus technical support seems terrible

wierd...getting to windows load screen, pressing f6 but nothing is happening. in fact when it states that a drive cannot be found and you can press f3 i cannot do that either.

the keyboard is a normal purple connector version logitech, i forget the exact type, anyone have any ideas? i am thinking of getting a cheap usb keyboard and trying that in the various usb ports.

Does the keyboard have an F-Lock key? My Logitech does and it's annoying as I have to press the F-Lock key first to enable the "F" keys. Everytime I reboot the "F" Keys are disabled again until I press this key.

aha! yes it does, i think you have it. thanks, i'll try it when i get home
