Oh, RAM placement. That's still kind of strange how it makes you do that. I wonder if that's the case for most user when switching to DFI motherboards? I use slots 1 and 2 in that order. BUt who knows how manufacturer design them.
So it looks like you finally got Windows installed. That's pretty good. I'm not sure why is says that. Are there any question marks or exclamation marks in Device Manager next to your DVD burner? It's obviously working because you got Windows installed. I know for SATA hard drives, it will ask you that message all the time. I forgot how to disable from popping up. It's been a long time.
