P4C800 Deluxe,Floppy is GANKED

For some reason my floppy drive is not working right .I even bought a new usb floppy but i still cant install xp I tried more than one drive for the onboard floppy plus a bunch of different cables still no go.Weird numbers come up or it will say invalid system disks.Im using brand new floppy disks for this also.This bites because i just got this board and i cant use it.Ive done eveything in the bios to.Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

you dont need a floppy boot to cdrom for xp and go from there

He's probably trying to use the onboard raid so unless he slipstreams an installation CD he will need a floppy for the F6 raid driver install. Curious if the floppy controller on the board is bad why the usb floppy didn't work. Any update for us???

Fixed

Well i figured it out.I have seen some software glitches before but nothing on this scale.It turned out to be the bootdisk software that i got off a previously reliable site was the problem.After trying several different ones it finally worked.The board is working great.I just installed an aerocool HT-101 all copper heatsink plus i have a thermaltake all copper northbridge heatsink coming today.Plus a OCX 700 watt power supply.I cant wait to put all of this together.Thank you for your replies and have a good one.
