forgive me for my ignorance, I am a "newbie".
wow! the Asus A7v133 is really stable in BIOS.
Ok here is my problem: I have an A7v133, I can get to bios but I cannot boot from a floppy. When I attempt to boot from a floppy the screen just goes black, so i can't format my hard drive or install an OS. When I attempt to boot from CD rom the screen flashes and the machine beeps over and over and over. The bios reconizes the harddrive, floppy drive, and cd rom drive properly but I can't boot off of them. If i don't try to boot off of any of them then it just goes to a message which says something to the effect of "ultra100 bios can not be installed because no drives were detected." I thought that this whole mess could be caused by one of my components other than the motherboard but I found someone with the same problem, and no solutions, at the asus netQ forum. I'd appreciate any help you can provide.
