Will need to extract the files in the zip onto a floppy and use that.

Ok, next time i will use this one. I put one together from the update
on the asus site, but the cat file and some others where missing. It
worked however and the system is now up and running. Need to install
the local network and do some more testing and then... overclocking
time.

Hi,

I ****ed up the system badly and had to reinstall xp. I used F6 and
accepted the software from the diskkette. When XP installed the driver
it said (again did that also yesterday) that it wasn't an official XP
tested driver (something with no logo) and asked if i wanted to use it
anyway. I choose no this time and went on with the installation. I was
suprised xp could start from the hard disk without that drivers.
Perhaps it was just one off the components. Any ideas on this?

The reason i ****ed up the system was very simple. I inserted a web
cam on one off the USB ports to test if they worked. The cam was
detected so i pulled out the usb-cable and... got a blue screen. After
that it wouldn't restart from the hd. Seems like the boot record was
messed up. After installing xp again i tested this again and.. this
time a blue screen but it would restart. After restart it give an
notification that the system recoverd from an sirious error and if i
wanted to transmit a report to Microsoft. Testing the same thing on
the other computer wiht an A7N8X-X in stead off the deluxe version
gave no problems. How can i fix this problem? (exept from shutting
down the system before removing usb cabels)

Going by your knowledge of pc's so far I would suggest you dont overclock
the pc until you learn a little more about it, especially what the "bios" is
and what the "os" is
