Say you want to browse for driver software

Find the driver files you downloaded (if they were ZIP files when they were downloaded you need to extract them)

Click OK and then Next and it will install the software.

Thanks for your help :) this is what I have been doing and successfully installed everything apart from the Ethernet controller, now it's installed something and it comes up under device manager as -

Network adapters
- Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller with a yellow (!) sign? what shall I do? Also when trying to load the sample music it doesn't load up:confused:
 
I think something is clearly up here. I'm just going to suggest you reinstall Windows. You have nothing to lose.

Yep I agree, I tried entering the BIOS to re install windows but I cannot seem to work out how to do it :( please can you help me out? :) thanks
 
Put the Windows DVD into the DVD drive, restart your PC, when it boots up again it should ask if you want to boot off the DVD, you do. So press any key on your keyboard to enter Windows setup and just follow it through.

You may need to go into the BIOS and change the boot order of the PC. It needs to be CD/DVD then HDD/SSD and disable the third boot device. Consult your motherboard manual for exact instructions.

Wish I could say "pass it over and I'll do it" but that's not an option sadly. :(

Where shall I install Windows?

Disk 0 Partition 1: System Reserved Total Size: 100.0MB, 71.0MB Free Space ,Type - System

Disk 0 Partition 2 Total Size 111.7GB Free Space 89.2GB Type Primary

I only have an OCZ 120 GB SSD installed?

Thank you:)
 
Haha. :)

After the first stage of installation (once it has copied and extracted the files), it will reboot and upon reboot it will probably ask if you want to boot off the CD/DVD again. Do not press anything, just let it boot off it your SSD and continue installation. :)
 
Yes it's all fine. Just don't touch it at all in any way until it asks you to type in a username and password.
 
If after reinstalling windows and the motherboard cd still has issues installing the drivers, then let me know. The drivers from MSI's website should be EXE files and all you do is run them and it automatically installs driver and any needed software.
