When Windows Setup begins, press F6 to install third-party drivers. You will need to have the drivers on a diskette.

I'll get the drivers right now and post the link.
 
lil problem, the pc dont have a disket drive. if ther eis no posible other way, il take the one out of mine. thanks for getting the links, i wasnt shur which it was
 
Extract these files onto a diskette. Like I mentioned above, press F6 when the installation begins. Place the diskette in Floppy Drive, and select the drivers (VT8237) for his operating system.

You need a Floppy Drive.
 
You have to install it first.

If you have trouble using that method, then I could always post the exact drivers after I copy them off the diskette. You need the drivers for the VT8237 South Bridge. He should of had them included.
 
uhh, dude im on my pc, his has only 1 drive, the sata one, i cant install those drivers, this is my pc. his pc has no disket drive but its ok, il just take mine off. i read the readme, and it said to copy the files from the diskdriver folder or w/e its called, il try that out. Or am i supposed to do something else?
 
You can either use that program to create one - Or I can post the drivers (ready to use on a diskette).
