Oh, Forgot to add, nlite works perfectly using out of the box drivers and bios. Also I wrote to gigabyte asking them to fix their bios

Hi, I just bought a Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra-939 as my previous GigabyteMB died. Prior to installing anything I downloaded latest bios / drivers from GB site. I upgraded bios to latest version installed Maxtor diamond data drives in raid on NVraid bus. Bios reported raid array all ok. I then proceeded to installl windows xp. After hitting F6 and loading nvidia drivers XPSP1 would hang at "Setting Up windows" Just before "Disk manager" loads. XPSP2 would reboot at same point After a LOT of trying different drivers from gigabyte, nvidia, asus, MSI etc etc. I finally found the original F5 bios for this MB, installed it. Using original drivers on CD, windows installed perfectly. Doing a clean install each time I tried different drivers from Nvidia. Up to ver 510 works. Ver 6.53 fails. I then tried updating drivers from within windows. Anything above ver 510 causes windows to reboot when gui starts. Hope this helps
