So I'm having lots of issues.. Can't connect to the internet although WInXP says my network connection is working properly, and the LEDs on the network port show that it is connected and operating at 100mbps. I open IE and it can't connect.. It's not actually connecting to the internet. I'm using my old PC right now
Also having issues with my other 120 gig hard drive.. WinXP isn't recognizing it.. It shows both 120 gig HD's under the bios, and only 1 in WinXP (though is shows it under the hardware list in device manager) and I can't remember what I need to do (I haven't built in a long time and this is only my 2nd). Also my DVD-Rom isn't being detected at all, not in bios or XP.. Not sure why, it worked in my old PC just fine.
Specs
A8N-SLI Deluxe
3200+ Athlon 64
GeForce 6800 Ultra
Corsair PC3200 512mb (x2)
SeaGate 120mb HD's (x2)
Samsung DVD-R (which is detecting and working fine)
Samsung DVD-Rom (not working, but has power, will open and close just won't be recognized)
And 2 SATA drives that aren't currently hooked up..
Basically everything is brand new out of the box.. I built it, installed XP and the drivers from the ASUS cd (twice now), and this is where I sit, getting ready to sledge hammer my new pc in frustration Lol..
This new bios is foreign language to me and the manual that came with the MB will be stored for emergency ass-wipe, because that's all it's worth ;P I haven't changed any factory settings in the bios at all because I'm not sure where to start.
Seriously, a guide, someone who's willing to help me, anything would be great at this point.. Just want to get everything goin. Thanks guys
