Try removing your motherboard cd from drive and re boot, I had the same issue.

Good luck.

Put your OS disk in and install unless you are going RAID.

After OS is installed, install MB disk.

exactly what are you trying to do??
install windows??
install the drivers after windows is installed??
if installing windows, are you using raid??

if your trying to install windows, using raid, then you need a floppy drive (with a blank formatted disk in it) in order to make the raid driver disk.

if your doing a fresh install of windows, without raid, then you need to put the os disk in, and reboot.

if your trying to install mobo drivers after windows is installed, then you need to boot to windows first, then put the cd in the drive. Note: you will get this message on reboot unless your hdd is set to boot before the cd, which you say it is.

I am guessing you havn't installed windows yet.

Just click resdtore factory settings and everything works fine for me, except that they ask for a new Micosoft activation code.
I installed new motherboard with original Windows on HD.

I am in almost the exact same situation as you, except that my choices are:
a)Make ATI XP/XP 64bit AHCI/Raid Driver Disk
b)FreeDOS command prompt
Please choose a ~ b:
Please insert your Formated Floppy to A
Error reading from drive AOS area:unknown command given to driver
(A)bort, (I)gnore, (R)etry, (F)ail?

Folks, you need to install Windows before anything else. The Asus CD does not have Windows on it. If you didn't purchase a copy of an operating system for your new computer, you need to do so.

So, put the Windows CD in the drive and turn on the computer. Follow the instructions. Once you've got Windows running, put in the Asus CD/DVD to install specific drivers needed by the motherboard.

The Asus CD is only bootable to create needed files for the Windows installation - like the RAID drivers mentioned in your choices. If you're not installing RAID, you never boot this CD.
