Hmmmm windows says that there is only 131062 MBs on the drive even though its 160 gig. I guess i'll have to figure that out later.

 

I'm also creating a partition, 30 gigs for windows and progs, and the rest for the rest.

It is formating the partition into NFTS, will it format the other part the driive later aswell?

That's a Win2k issue. I believe you have to have at least service pack 2? Not sure, but anyway your drive probably should have been broken up into smaller partitions. I got lost awhile back as to wether you were installing Win2k or XP :shake:

 

Edit: Check that...You already did :nod: :shake: :nod:

once you're installed and in windows, you can go to control panel, performance and mantenance, admin. tools, disk management and you format, assign drive letters etc from there

lol

[piotrgurin]

OH sweet!! You were running a similar thread eh?

 

*BEER FOR ALL**

----------------------------------------------------

 

In disk management for the unallocated part of the drive, do i want to do a PRIMARY PARTITION or an EXTENDED PARTITION ?

 

Otherwise everythin looks good!

Guess i should install drivers now. hehehe

[xWhiteboy55]

yes drivers it is

[piotrgurin]

also, i didn't install the Karajan module yet, did i screw myself or can I do that later?

Your main concern is getting the system up and running with a minimum of hardware installed. It's easier to add one component at a time, get it right then move on to the next. All at once can get real confuzin...............

Questions: 8(

1) drive partion question (above)

2) Karajan Module----Never mind (thanks oldguy)

3) What should I do first? Flash to the newest Bios? (any guides on how to do that?)

Also big shout out to everyone helped me get this far.

It has taken me about 19 hours thus far. heheheh

 

Scariest parts were:

#1 Clipping the XP-90 to the CPU. (heard stories of CPUS cracking) lol

#2 Apply the thermal paste, I wasn't sure i did it right and I also though i thought it was currosive and when I got some on my hands I freaked out. hahaha

#3 Finger going numb after making contact with multiple fans.

 

Most Annoying:

#1 Figuring out how the case works and how to put things in.

 

Most helpfull:

#1 hmmm, this is an easy one. YOU GUYS.

 

i'll post up some photos soon for the non-belivers out there! :shake:
