well i was able to format. still no luck on installation though =(

wouldnt i be able to just pop in the dri

ver disc that came with my board?

i cant even reformat my dang computer. no matter what i try and do,

i trycommand prompt, cant, volume is in use by another prcess, for it? nope still in use.

right click format on C drive? nope something is in use. i dont know what.

quick format, nope.

try to go to disc managment, nope, the format option is greyed out. im stuck

i havnt been able to format it. if i dont hit enter and let the computer go to the Xp desktop and try and format it that way, but it keeps telling me that im not able to. that theres like something running and i need to close it. but i dont know whatelse there is to close to make it work.

when i boot up with windows in, ill enter the windows setup, and hit next and hit "Install Now"

then it asks me to" Select the driver to be installed". and i get a window that pops up saying

that "A required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing. If i have a driver flippy disk, cd, dvd, or usb flash drive, please insert it now.

Note: if the windows installation media is i the cd/dvd drive, you can safely remove it for this step.

This is as far as i can go. i would think that thw windows disk would have what i need. then i tried the mother board driver disk and video card disk to see if its that but its not. i dont know what else i could do.

im only going to have 2gig of ram. but i do plan to buy more in the very near future.

also from what i hear, i wont be able to run older games. is that true? for example,

i want to at some point, get max payne 2. ive been wanting that for a long time.

if i cant do that, how many more games that i have will i not be able to play i wonder. well how many more do i really need to play. not many.

whats the story on this
