HELP! New build not working....

Load the drivers from the motherboard CD.
Edit: Is this a problem with the device or a problem with the interface getting an IP address via DHCP? You may have to manually assign an IP address, default route/gateway, DNS.

I did and got it working.

I am just setting up the HDD in two Partiations

60 GB for OS
532 GB for everything else

It is a 640 gb HDD, but thats all that it shows available?? IS this a vista thing.

Any better suggestions on Partition/ Formatting HDD?

I will probably be getting another HDD just for business Stuff.

do i need another OS.?

Wait a minute, does Vista automatically set its own partition and page file that his hidden and thats where the rest of my HDD has gone??

When I loaded vista it asked me which disk to load windows, I selected the HDD and made a 60 gb space and said "here"

Now I am creating a disk , drive E, from the remaining 532GB which I was planning to use for everything. Leaving the original 60 to just be the OS.

I must have missed someting?

HUHHH?? What is that the answer to?

It's the difference between base 10 and base 2.

Gibibyte

I usually make about a 100GB and leave the balance for the second, but I'm not real concerned with the sizes as long as the primary isn't too small 60MB will do you.

Some people want to make the OS partition real small and put a partition for the swap file etc. I don't think the additional hassle is worth the small difference and you don't want to run out of space on the OS partition.

The truth is that you should have a second drive so if you have a hardware failure on the HD you don't lose what you "think" is your backup on the second partition. A second partition is the next best thing.
