Components:
Intel "BOXD925XCVLK" 925X Chipset Motherboard
Intel LGA775 Pentium 4 550 3.4 GHz
ATI All-In-Wonder RADEON X600 PRO
Kingston HyperX 240-Pin 1GB(512MB x 2) DDR2 PC2-4300
Two SAMSUNG 80GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drives
SONY 1.44MB 3.5 Inch Floppy Disk Drive
Rosewill Silver ATX Mid Tower Case with 400W Power Supply
OK. First, I put everything together and started to install Windows XP Home edition (with SP2 on same disk). When it came time to install the RAID drivers (per Intel instructions) I inserted the disk and it wouldn't recognize that there was a disk in the floppy.
So, I then just installed XP without the RAID drivers and everything works fine except the floppy drive. Take the drive AND the cable out to another PC, and it works fine! I then RMA'ed the board back to Newegg.com to get a new one, something must be wrong with it, right?
It was set in the BIOS to recognize the floppy, was there something that I may have missed?
Another problem.
The Intel Express applications installation keeps failing in XP w/ SP2. They say (Per instructions on Intel website) to install Windows XP, then the Intel apps and drivers, and THEN install SP2. Can this be done with a disk that already has SP2 on it? (My Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 is only one disk)
Thanks in advance for any help and comments!
