I went to a computer store and picked up an MSI Nforce4 board because nothing would of worked with this board to bet my installation up and running. Install on MSI Neon4 went smooth and running stable. So I am sending this board back Abit and not looking back. What a pain that was to diagnose. So it might be the board.

Exchanged the PSU and moved around things and got it to the last install part which is the saving mode and 3 min left it shuts down and reboots. I try to fix the files in safe mode and it loads up drivers, stays in dos mode for a bit then shuts down again. I really do not know what to do anymore.

I used windows 2000 install and windows xp 64 bit with the same driver.cab not found please insert cd. I thought the cd player was faulty but I have a dvd player as well and same problem. Always stops on that file and sometimes other once too and sometimes not. Tried swapping ide connections and memory and no go. I might have to swap the PSU and see if the antec psu is giving the trouble. I wish there was an error message of some kind but I get nothing. If it goes to the gui it seems like the os is installing because it gives you those list of features and talks about the product, so its not freezing but it just not installing. Hate these problems. I had 3 abit mb and had no problems. now with the 64 chip maybe its time to go for an Asus board. Let me know if you find a fix.

I just bought the AN8 Board and I am having same problems as you. Can not seem to install windows. Goes to the GUI and freezes. ONe time it went to 9 min left and just stayed there. Another related problem I am getting is that a message popes up when it loads up all the files and says can not find certain files and they are random for every install I do. Like cant get certain cab file and says that I need to put the windows cd in the cd player and hit enter. So I hit enter and continues on the installation until at some point it stops. I even tried windows 2000 and same thing. I have an Antec PS so I might swap it and see if that helps.
