I just finised installing my second 8800GT nivida card onto a Asus crossfire mobo,why the heck did i have to reinstall windows vista???? make no sence at all, could it be i move SATA ports ( original port was in the way of the second card)
No I had no idea, my I.T buddy told me that I should have no issue, as long as I had enough watts in my power supply ( there is just more that what i had mentioned inmy rig) I do have the SLI brige cable. why cant I run SLi?
Plus that isn't my main concern at the moment, I'm still trying to figure out why did it prompt me to insert the boot disk?
Your I.T buddy is a c**k. SLi for an Intel socket 775 or any AMD CPU requires an Nvidia chipset, you have a Crossfire board so only ATi cards can be run in a dual GPU config.

That was why I asked, as for boot issue did you have to move the SATA HDD connector to another port because the back of the card covers the port? if so then you need to reassign the 'boot from HDD' option in BIOS and tell it which port the OS's HDD is on.
You may have to set BIOS to boot from port 2 as it's default will be port 0, and if it is a crosshair board it will not have an Nvidia 590 chipset, crosshair is an ATi crossfire or Xfire board,
You must have a nForce Chipset to run SLI on a Socket 775 Intel MB or AMD MB. The only Intel MB that will do both ATI Crossfire and nVidia SLI are the X58 Chipset used on the Socket 1366 or the Skulltrail socket 771.
Just because you have 2 PCIe x16 slots does not make the board support SLI or Crossfire.

the 'delete' key? , or have you got another partition? if so then either run computer management via run > compmgmt.msc > storage > disk management and reformat the unwanted partition or reinstall windows and delete the partition during setup.
