I think the problem may be that i am not putting the chipset driver on the install cd. I can't make a 3.5 floppy because well all my drive crapped out on me and i never replaced them, however, the install file from ASUS has a file in it called "disk" this file i believe is identical to what goes into the 3.5 floppy. I will have to play with it this week.
Thanks for your help.
