[whiteshark]

when i insert my vista dvd after reboot, instalation starts but i have to wait some time to start with instalation, it just waits, i can see the start screen and mouse pointer and thats all i see for a while. why it is so slow, i didnt have this problem on my asus M2N with AMD, and now i have asus p5kpl With Intel......:confused:

How long is "a while"?

Mine sits there for 10-20 seconds, haven't timed it though.

i have to wait 10 - 15 minutes....what could it be??? and after that everything is normal...

[thideras]

i have to wait 10 - 15 minutes....what could it be??? and after that everything is normal...Yeah, shouldn't be that long.

Is everything at stock?
Does it do that with no HDD's installed?
Did you reset the CMOS?

i think that everything is fine, i just restart my computer and start the instalation

[thideras]

i think that everything is fine, i just restart my computer and start the instalationI'm not quite sure what you mean...are you saying it works now?

no, no you asked me is everythink on stock, yes it is on stock.and i didnt reset my cmos

[thideras]

no, no you asked me is everythink on stock, yes it is on stock.and i didnt reset my cmosSorry about the misunderstanding. I would suggest resetting the CMOS to make sure there isn't a setting that is preventing it from running correctly.

HOW DO YOU RESET CMOS ...

[thideras]

HOW DO YOU RESET CMOS ...No reason to yell >.>

I would suggest checking your manual first. Most motherboard have a jumper labeled "CMOS" somewhere on the board. There will be 3 pins with a jumper on two. You need to unplug the computer or turn the power supply off at the switch and change the jumper so it shorts the other two pins. Leave it that way for 15-30 seconds, put the jumper back in its original spot, turn on the power supply and turn the computer on. You may get a message that says that settings were lost, that is normal.

If IDE, I'd make sure your master/slave jumpers are correct for the drives.
