Yesterday, I put a game cd in my pc and before the game loaded it froze up. I hit cntr alt delete and couldnt exit out. So i rebooted my pc, and then it did a boot loop. After that, it went to a black screen that listed safe mode options and an option to go to the last best configuration or something like that. Well, none of them would work at all. it wont go into safe mode or reboot back to normal mode. I wanted to reinstall windows with my winxp cd, and here is my main question.
On my system, I need a floppy that had a "Via" driver on it so I can install win xp pro on my seagate SATA HD. Well I left that floppy at a friend's house when we installed this new hard drive 2 months ago, and he is away. Now I cant rememebr what the Via driver was exactly. I checked VIA.com but have no clue what im looking for or what to do. Windows will not install at all without that via driver on a floppy. It keeps saying it doesnt detect the HD.
Would anyone know what the exact via driver is that I would need? I have an Asus K8v deluxe motherboard, and its something to do with that board that needs the via file. Here is my system specs:
Asus K8V Deluxe (not SE Deluxe)
3400+ amd 64
geforce 6800 gt (256)
seagate barracuda 160 gb SATA
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
