My MB box didn't even come with the floppy cable, although it said it was included. I bought a short round cable (6in Cooler Master??). Given the position of the floppy connector on the board (not good at all), it shouldn't be a long distance to the back of the FDD. A large ribbon cable will...

Think I got that fixed. Now onto installing Win XP and the Seagate drive. Don't know why I bothered with the fdd i the first place... Thanks for the tips...somethign tells me I'll be back...it's never as easy as it should be! Not bad for the first time though...yet.

I saw that the green light was always on, so I flipped them. Now it only comes on when it "should"...like when it tries to read boot media from the drive.

After reading another post about 1007 BIOS issues, I'll stick with what I have. The BIOS date is 6/17/04, so it appears to be 1006. Thanks for the Seagate page and the quick reply. Huge help! Just hope it's smooth sailing from here... I'll see if my floppy is ok in Device Mngr once Windows...

I have a new build with A8V Deluxe & 3500+ (130nm, or so I think??). Priot to installing Win XP, I wanted to flash the BIOS with the latest version (1007). I downloaded the A8V1007.AMI file, renamed to A8V.ROM, and copied to a floppy (on another computer). During POST, I used Alt+F2 for...

I posted this in the cases/cooling section...no responses: Original Post Does anyone know if any BIOS settings must be adjusted on the A8V Deluxe so that the PSU fans will operate? I have an Enermax Noisetaker EG475P-VE SFMA. Power works fine (no boot errors) but neither fan is moving...

Hey ironmanstl, do you have a link to your 6 cfm Sunon fans? Thanks.

I bought the Praetorian. Like the case, but when installing Asus A8V Deluxe, the rear chassis fan wire was about 1 inch too short, so it didn't reach the chassis fan mb connector (clear across the case). Currently looking for a replacement fan... As for looks, I bought the Lian Li floppy...

I?m building my first system and got the CPU, heat sink/fan, and memory installed. I wired it up and turned it on?first time, deep breath?no errors (other than the VGA card not installed). All of the case/CPU fans were working fine; however, the PSU fans were not moving. The PSU is supplying...
