I just mounted a new motherboard.(Asus P4S800ME SE with BOIS 5.02 and
Celeron 2.4 Ghz
I use the onboard vga controller.
When I want to install WinXP then the system boots to the prompt. "Hit
any key to boot from CD
When I hit the key I get the message "Checking your hardware
configuration.
Then the message disapears (screen blamk) and the CD-rom Spins to high
speed but nothing happens.
I already updated Bios to the latest version 7.08.

Who can help?

Tanks.

Yes the CD-Rom is the firts to boot. As you can see above it boots from
the CD-Rom but after message checking hardware it fails.

B.T.W. I just have a new bios in my mail from Asus I will try it
tonight.
