How to obtain drivers -How to install drivers for Biostar NF61s AM2SE motherboard
I built a computer using a Biostar NF61s AM2 SE motherboard. I
purchased this on line and it showed up with NO cd or manual. I downloaded the drivers with my other pc. However, I can not install them on the new pc until I get an operating system on it. My WindowsXP is on my old pc and therefore I can not install the same operating system on my new pc. I want to run just Linux anyway so I don't care if I can use xp or not. But I can not get Linux (Ubuntu) to boot on my new machine and I assume it has to do with the lack of drivers, although I don't understand why this would be. It boots up to the splash screen, where you would enter your username but there it freezes up. Ubuntu has worked great when dual booted with XP on my old pc. What other reason would there be that Ubuntu will not boot properly? So, how can I get the motherboard drivers installed? Or, what the heck is going on? |

You have 30 days to activate Win XP. And I assume you're running Linux from a separate boot partition so you'll never be booting XP again after you get the drivers, etc. installed.
