Hey, these are my main specs...
A7N8X E Deluxe
2500+ xp M
160 gig 7200 Sata WD
2 x 512 pc3200 micron RAM
Geforce Mx4000 vid card
So, I want to install windows, but don't know how. I have XP pro with sp2. I try inserting the disk and then pressing F6 to access the hard drive setup or something like that (What I've been told) but when I press F6 a message comes up saying "Verifying DMI pool data..." and it just stays there forever...so naturally, I shut the computer off, but for some reason, when I try holding the off switch, rather than doing a soft shut down, it just instantly shuts down, which I know isn't good for systems. So I am kind of jammed. I know that the board I am on uses a silicon image Sata controller and thus I must provide a floppy drive and use drivers, etc, but I don't know what to do really, so yeah, kind of broad and idiotic I know, but I honestly don't know where to start. I don't want to fry anything. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
