asus p5k3 motherboard

[mike1947]

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if any of you guys have installed an Asus P5K3 de-luxe wi fi motherboard and could help with a few points.
When i install it how can i get the operating system windows xp on it
I have a sata hard drive and a sata dvd writer will the system pick it up straightaway or will i have to use an ide dvd writer to laod the system irst and make a raid diskette to load system when windows asks for 3rd party raid disk.
If i have have to make a diskette which one is it the intel raid or the jb micron one.
a lot of questions but i would be grateful of any help
Regards Mike

ok so if im correct you want to know how to install XP correct?

If so read below.


Booting from a CD is a simple matter of starting up your computer with the relevant CD inserted. If this doesn?t work for you automatically, you?ll need to change your system?s boot order in the BIOS. Restart your computer and press whichever key you are told is needed to enter Setup or BIOS.

In the Boot section you should then be able to adjust the settings labelled Boot Order, Boot Device Priority or possibly some other variation on this wording. Make sure that your CD/DVD drive is set to be your first boot device and you should be able to boot from a CD.

Hi,

If you go into BIOS it should say if it detects them or not.

Thanks
