Hi

If you have access to another computer, download the latest bios and put it on a floppy or CD, changing the name of the file to \"A8V.ROM\".

Then boot up your computer and press shift+F2 (with the disk in of course) and the BIOS should flash to the version you downloaded.

Oops, I did mean Alt+F2

You need to get XP to install the SATA drivers during the install. You press F6 to install 3rd party drivers at some point.

I haven't done this (I have an IDE system drive and SATA audio drives) but here is a link to a Cubase.net thread with some info....

The SATA driver is on the ASUS CD. On the CD, there is a utility to make a floppy that contains the SATA driver, and you’ll need that floppy after you press F6 during Windows install.
