What is this SPD thing they want it says:
Serial Presence Detect (SPD) device missing or inconclusive
then this:
legacy keyboard detected
legacy mouse detected
USB legacy enabled? (What's this?)
Fixed disk 0! st320014A
press f1 to resume
then I press f1
this appears Invalid Boot Diskette
Insert Boot diskette in A:
I have a CA810E Desktop Board

Please do not bump 10 min apart from each other. We will get around to it when we see it.



Now did it just do this all of a sudden, or is this a new build or what?

That's because you need a boot diskette of Either Windows 98 or a CD of Windows XP or whatever operating system you want to install. If you use the CD you must change the boot order so the CD-ROM boots first.

Try Del. If it is booting the floppy first and you have something in the CD-ROM its not going to matter. You need to try to change the boot order so the CD-ROM comes first.
 
unfortunately no my bios key was F2, I put the ATAPI cd-rom first that din't work I saved of course it's asking me for a boot disk in A:
