so my motherboard jetway P4945gdb socket 478 is an oddball instead of allowing you to cancel or load from cd it just ignore/doesnt recognize windows xp on it I have the ide set to primary master harddrive and secondary master cd drive but it boots directly to the cd after windows is done with setup this is frankly driving me nuts.
Ive thought about getting a new motherboard but that would be expensive. plus I didnt tighten the standoffs on the chassis enough resulting in the inability to remove two of the screws.
this has been an extremelly frustrating experiance I really wish I had just stuck with the dell 4550 but that is limited to 1 gb of ram ugh....
HELP PLEASE !!
p.s I am experianced with building computers just not with really old hardware we all make mistakes right ?
been trying to install windows xp onto the dell 4550 and I think the power supply is dying the computer keeps shutting off when loading up set up.
