I have this H110M which I loooked forward to getting. I've hassled with it now for about two or three weeks. I can't get an OS onto it.
The bootable USB 32 bit or 64 bit with Win7 Ult on them won't run. The thing starts off and then says it needs drivers.
I'm told that's because win7 can't read USB3. But the sticks are supposed to be in the USB2 (black) ports.
I'm told that's because USB2 on an Asrock board is not USB2, really, but a crippled USB3.
So I try Win10.
It wouldn't accept my HDD as viable. So I got another one.
64 bit Win10 hung immediately on preparing files for install or whatever that message is. Googled and found that's happened a lot.
32 bit Win10 ran to about 40% of 'preparing files' and then it hung up, too.
I've got a G4400 in it if that's relevant at all.
I'm now going to try linux Puppy, just for the sake of something...
Anyone got any help for this ridiculous situation?
