P4C800-E Deluxe I cannot get my Network to work
I have tried loading the drivers for my Lan controller off the CD that came
with the motherboard and still I cannot get it to work, the one thing I nothiced that it says win 98 and NT ....I have XP....why do they not have drivers for XP on the CD ? I am new at building my own ,,,,any help will be greatly appreciated. One other thing ......I disabled the promise controller in bios because I do not have a SATA drive I have a ATA100 drive ....the reason why was everytime I booted I got SATA bios not loaded or something like that....this I do not understand ...Should I leave it on anyway ? I can deal with that but cannot do diddle without a internet connection ......thanks! |

Here is how I installed my drivers for the onboard lan.
Go to Start/My Computer RIGHT click on my computer and select Properties. From that screen select the Hardware tab Select device manager Look and see if you have any yellow exclamation marks If you do put the ASUS CD in the drive that came with your motherboard and cancel out of the autorun. Right click on the sub item device with exclamation point and select update driver Windows will check the CDROM disk and usually finds the driver. I just built mine yesterday and found several items with yellow exclamation marks and fixed all of them this way. Hope this helps.

You will get the SATA BIOS error if there is nothing connected. SATA runs
like SCSI. When you boot, it looks to the SATA controller to see if any drives are there to load in the BIOS. If not, it gives you the message and moves on. The drivers for the Intel NIC are on the CD under utilities. You have to install the drivers. The management software is optional.
