manual will help with postion of front panel connecters always tell em apart as they have differrant holes 1 is blocked ie. usb its one of the corner pins, the HD sound (if it has one) has a blocked hole on the centre pin. The Next problem will probs be sata drivers, here you have two options as it will only read from floppy press F6 when setup loads and it says something about scsi controllers, if u dont have one you will need to download Nlite and make a custom windows disk including the sata drivers.

You have to install Windows first, so you have the tools to effect the install ofmotherboard and other drivers (they only make sense in a Windows environment)

ahhh right iv never done this b4 .....thanks .................so when everything id plugged in o.k ....i just turn on & put the disc in ..do u have make it boot from cd drive / or can u just put in in whenever ..ty

[dandnsmith]

Usually I proceed as:
1. get the bits connected
2. turn on, and with to see what sounds, messages you get
3. If you get to a 'no system disk' message on screen, you can start installing, so
4. Insert the OS (ie Windows) CD
5. do a restart, and see whether you get a query to prompt from the CD (or it just boots from the CD - you may have to change the BIOS boot order, but there will be a message telling you what key to press to get to do this.

Now you can start installing Windows...

Good luck, and ask for more help if you need it

the front USB ports connect to FUSB1 FUSB2 FUSB3 on the motherboard headers... Any will do and they only go in one orientation. Front panel connectors..... You can find out which is the power by simply plugging everything in as normal.... Instead of pressing power button, simply touch the front panel headers on the motherboard with a screwdriver. They are usually blocked in groups of 2. So touch 2 with the screwdriver, if it doesnt start, try another 2. Eventually it will boot when you touch the correct 2. You can then put the PWSW connector over these 2 pins and thats the power sorted. You can do the same for resetSW as well.

You wont need to worry about SATA drivers mate, Highly unlikely you will need to run an F6 setup to install SATA driver's! Just do as is stated and you should be fine.
