Hi lonelypauly, as I said, during the blue (dos) sceen installation in which I have to include the driver via F6 no problems accour. But while the graphical install during the device detection monitor gets black and nothing happens anymore. System hangs... In the meantime I've installed Win3K on my Asus A8NX Deluxe board which includes the same sata controller like the 'problem board' A8NX-E Deluxe. And I got absolutely no problems. So, whats the matter here... Could it be the graphic card, RAM? The funny thing is that I had it installed one time on the 'problem board' . But then decided to re-install the server... ...and f***ed up Any suggestions? Thanx Ian
