cyberhrc, m8, im sure if you remove your dvd everything will work as supposed. i had exectly the same prob. solutions: 1. remove dvd (not really a sollution, ha?) 2. integrate nforce drivers (nice soll. at first glance) 3. dont use sp2 soll. 3 is the most complete. you can integrate nforce drivers, but you (90%) wont be able to install... .net framework, for example. so stick to #3 sollution-works great.
