OK, so i finally got my desktop running (WHOO!!!) and I bought a new mobo.
Like the thread title says its a ASUS M2N-SLI motherboard and I'm having trouble with 1 of the drivers. I've successfully installed all of the drivers from the CD...but I can't get the IDE driver to install properly.

I borrowed my brother-in-law's USB CD-ROM drive to install all of the other drivers...but my CD drive is IDE so I need to install this driver.

Any1 know where I could look to download the drivers...I'll check the ASUS website I guess...but does any1 know WHY the drivers won't install properly?

When I reboot it tells me "There was a problem installing these drivers" and the IDE is the one listed.

Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.


EDIT::Just tried it again...no luck
It says that the drivers are not intended for this platform
What does that mean???
I made sure to install the 32-bit XP drivers...

well...I've tried and tried again...but no luck
I have had a thought tho...this is what the description of the drivers says:

Windows XP/2000 Driver Versions:

* Ethernet Driver (v55.21) "WHQL"
* Network Management Tools (v55.23)
* SMBus Driver (v4.52) "WHQL"
* Installer (v5.05)
* Win2K IDE SataRAID Driver (v6.66) "WHQL"
* Win2K IDE SataIDE Driver (v6.66) "WHQL"
* Win2K RAIDTOOL Application (v6.63)

(copy/pasted)
So is this trying to put windows 2000 IDE drivers on, and thats why it says its the wrong platform?

If so, maybe I just need to keep looking until I find one with XP IDE drivers
