It's a catch 22 situation. The OS does not necessarily have the latest drivers on the install disk but of course can be updated but not until it gets installed which you can't do without the updated drivers. So the mother board manufacturer sends a driver disk that you use when windows setup starts running which loads the new drivers and allows windows to recognize the disk and complete the install. -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
