Question I have just put together my first computer. I cant get the operating system to load. Some of the problems are that it does not see the hard drive. I downloaded a SATA driver for NVEDIA but I cant get it to load from the floppy.The case is a Coller Master. The mother board is a MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum. The hard drive is a Seagate 500GB Serial ATA HD 7200/16MB/SATA-3G.The processor is a AMD Phenom 64 2.2 GHz Quad-Core.It has 8 Gigs of OCZ Performance DDR2 Memory.All this stuff should make a great machine but I am really in over my head and my wife is getting a little upset because Ispent quite a bit of money on it and it is not running yet.
Can you help me?
Thank you.

Answer First of all, what OS are you trying to load (XP, Vista)? You should make sure you do a total reformat if you can get it that far. Usually when installing an OS it asks if you have any special drivers to load and at this point you will click yes and install the drivers. Let me know what OS it is and we will go from there.
