Hi, I just finished assembling a computer for the first time. I'm pretty sure I got everything assembled correctly, the BIOS recognizes my CPU, RAM, HDD, DVD Drive all correctly (I think). And I think Vid Card because the monitor is plugged into that and I get a signal and can see the BIOS etc. I have set the date time in BIOS. I set the "Configure SATA as" to AHCI. (I think that's what it's supposed to be.) I am using both SATA HDD and DVD Drive. I do not have a floppy drive.
I set boot priority 1 to DVD drive, and I inserted the XP Home SP3 CD in there. It got all setup then I got this error.
Here is my system for addidional information. And here is the ASUS site for my MoBo.
