| Finally got it all sorted out. Initial problem seemed to be that I had my IDE system drive routed through an SATA adapter card. This was causing it to be basically nonexistent in BIOS. I have no idea how it was booting up Windows before, cause it certaintly wouldn't when I tried it that way after reformatting. So I had to hook the IDE up directly to the mobo (had it on a 3 headed IDE cable going from adapter card to board to hd lol), then installed the correct drivers for the adapter card and everything is working fine. Learn something every day I suppose. |
