*please note this is my first time buying a custom PC w/ no OS...treat me as a noob to this*
just bought my new computer...specs are:
amd 64 3200+
dfi lanparty nf4 sli-dr
1 gig ocz pc3200 ram
bfg geforce 6600GT OC
pioneer dvr-109 dvd +- rw
200 gig WD S-ATA HDD
so this does not come with an OS..so i get home and install windows xp professional
it boots up, i go through the setup fine and it loads to the desktop
now i notice in device manager that there are no drivers for : ethernet controller, multimedia audio controller, other pci bridge device, pci memory controller, raid controller, SM bus controller, and video controller...so i grab the DFI Lanparty utility cd and pop it in...however its is very slow when opening the cd to view the contents, it does not auto-run, and when i try to run the setup inside i get an error that says:
d:\Setup.exe
Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed
i also tried installing the drivers using the "Update Driver" feature in Device Manager..but it says it cannot find the necessary software.
so i try with the video card driver cd and i get the same slow operation when accessing the disk and still cannot install those drivers
any ideas?
