HELP!!!
I have been trying to load an OS into this computer with no luck. what happens is if I try to boot from the CD rom to load XP it has the black screen and at the top says something like"checking systems hardware configuration" and goes nowhere just sits.
If trying to load ME with a boot disc it will go through checking the HD screen and indicate that there is no problem with the hard drive but when I enter OK, the black screen comes up and says that it's loading the files need for windows setup and just sits there too. Either way it apears that the CD rom's will not write to the HD with this MB I hve tried 3 different roms. I was able to format with the boot floppy with NO problem. I have disabled the RAID with the onboard jumper. and my RAM sticks are in 1and3 as said in the manual. Man everyone complained about the A7A266 but that board ran fine for me until I changed to this.
