I was thinking about doing that, but wasn't sure if it would work. This has me bugged, I did not have this problem with the first of the two builds. Thanks I will try.Quote from: patio on August 17, 2010, 05:14:07 PM</p><blockquote>Disconnect the 2nd drive...leave only the drive you wnat to install to.<br/>Re-boot<br/>Very early on in the setup process you will see a prompt stating "Press F6 to install additional drivers....do so.<br/>Then insert your MBoard Driver CD and Win7 will automatically install the driver and proceed...<br/></blockquote><br/><br/>Thanks Patio, I did as you suggested and I now have the OS loaded on the computer. Never did get the "Press F6" prompt. At the "Where do you want to install Windows" there was a link that you could load drivers. Thanks again.Good <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/job-25535" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about JOB">JOB</a>....stop by anytime.</body></html>
