    Well, installs okay, used to floppy disk for the gigabyte SATA2 drivers by pressing F6, seems to install okay, then re-boots.

    At this point all I get is "Invalid System Disk", and if I press a key, I get corrupt \system32\hal.dll

    Tried boot from HDD as firt boot, just not getting any luck.
    Anyone got an idea?

    Finally got it working, after 3rd install, setting boot order, ensuring I made a SATA driver disk.

    But I cant get my MSI NVidia 7900GT to work properly on my 1680x1050 LCD screen.

    The quality is coming out fuzzy, I will try the latest drivers from the msi site tonight. but beyond that I don't know what's wrong here.
