Good on you, pvrbulls.
For the record, you asked this question above:
> And what is an F6 driver?
With all ASUS motherboards that come from the factory,
there is a "Support CD" which contains important device drivers
that should be installed as soon as Windows XP is fully installed.
The one exception is any device driver that is needed
BEFORE Windows Setup starts writing to a disk subsystem, e.g.
loading XP directly onto a RAID array formatted as the C: partition.
During Windows Setup, you will see a prompt notifying
you to enter "F6" -- i.e. the F6 function key on your keyboard --
which tells Windows Setup to expect, and look for, a device driver
that is already written to a floppy disk.
So, the way to do this F6 thing smoothly, is to insert the
Support CD for your motherboard into another PC that
is already running Windows XP. Then, if you're not already
familiar with these Support CDs, go to the very end of the
motherboard's User Manual, and there you should find written
instructions describing how to prepare a "driver diskette".
After you enter F6 to notify Windows Setup that you have a
custom device driver to load, you will be prompted with
further instructions by the Windows Setup logic.
Just follow those instructions.
In a word, Windows Setup expects that device driver
to be on a floppy diskette, because that's where Windows Setup
will search for it, after you invoke the F6 function key.
I don't have any experience with Vista, so what I wrote above
probably does not apply to Vista.
Perhaps someone else could cover that topic for us here.
I hope this helps.
