Urgent Help!! With OS/New Hardware

[_-..zKiLLA..-_]

ok well i got my new mobo and so i go and put it in today works fine. got the RAM in the CPU and so on... First Boot up. works.. YAY!! cant wait to get an OS working.. so i go and grab my WinXP Pro CD. (That Juice mailed me. Thanks) put it in. i go into bios and tell it to boot from CD and i save and it does a reboot. well it says "PLEASE CONNECT BOOT DRIVE AND PRESS ENTER" (or somethin like that) and so im like WTF?!?! so i call up Asus thinking im doing something wrong. and he says that i might have to boot off of a 6 Floppy disks. so i go to m$.com and download the file. i pull out 6 (REALLY Dusty) Floppy Disks. Do a clean format on each one. then start the program. CMD Prompt opens and i do what it says. then i go and put in the first floppy (of the 6) and go to BIOS and tell it to boot off Floppy. then saves and reboots. and i get this error.

what should i do???...

its a really great motherboard. gave me no problems in BIOS. I would just love for it to WORK!!

lol i had this same exact problem, go into bios and where it says floppy just click it and click [none]

so make them all none?

 

[Fanatic4Christ]

just floppy

i did, i made just the first one floppy and all the other disabled.. that didn't work. so i made them all floppy and it still didn't work.. ugh this is making me mad. this should be easy

 

[Fanatic4Christ]

noooooooooo only disable the floppy, change the other ones back, just where it says floppy only disable that one slot =D

but thats the one i wanna boot off. how would that work?

 

[Fanatic4Christ]

its better to boot off the cd, the reason your getting that is because its not detecting one.

 

[_-..zKiLLA..-_]

well thats the thing.. i cant get it to Boot off the cd either. it keeps trying to boot from a hard drive then gives me an error and tells me to put the system drive in.
