Ack I installed these and was greeted to a slow bootup and it only detects one of my cd drives now. Any A7N8X people wanna helP?

What operating system you got? If WinXP, install the drivers again, but read the dialogues carefully before clicking Yes, Yes, Yes. Watch for one that asks if you want to install a "SW" IDE driver, or a "Performance" IDE driver, and say No to that/those.

ok i said yes oops lol. O well here comes a reinstall

edit- aaah, still having a slow boot and saying i had a serious system error. Any other a7n8x people w/ similar problems

Does this refer to the Asus nforce2 boards only?

I think it refers to both nForce and nForce2 of any brand, in combination with WinXP, but since I haven't got WinXP to confirm that, I don't know for sure. The southbridges are the same AFAIK between nForce and nForce2, and that's the part that handles the IDE controller, so it would make sense.

Try loading into safe mode and then installing the drivers without the sw driver.
