Finally have my new Jukebox/computer together.Wanted to use a Sata drive in for storage. But in order for my mother board to see it I need to get windows running to put in the drivers.I did go in BIOS setup to enable settings for Sata/Raid.So I put a IDE hard drive in temporaly,to run windows.But when I try to put in any programs I get a "this is not a windows 32 applacation".Is there some setting that needs to be changed,or is this "that Gazilionares " way of having me buy another OS! .

windows xp64?

No still tying to get motherboard drivers to load .using windows xp(home).once motherboard drivers are in place,it should 'see' Sata hard drive.

I have that motherboard, to load windows xp(hopefully with sp2) when it boots to the xp cd you have to already have a floppy with the serial raid
driver, press f6 at the very begining.
