Hello Shaun,

Is your primary hard drive on an IDE interface? This isn’t necessary if your primary (bootable) hard drive uses SATA.

i did what you said. at number 9
9. Make sure the box labeled “Show compatible hardware” is checked.
there was nothing.
it said pick a driver, have a disc.
and at number 10 nothing came up just
10. Select “Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller” and click the Next button. The wizard will install your newly selected driver.

i take it your suppose to have a disc for the new motherboard. what if you don’t have one.

i do have a program driver genius that looks for and updates drivers.
