Not installing windows xp with asus k8v-mx motherboard

format the drive in which you have XP before , then install a fresh copy of XP

then when XP's finished first of all Update your drivers first.

Find out what graphic/video card you have.

Start Menu > Run > Dxdiag > Go to the Display Tab >
It should say the Name of the Graphic/Video card.

After you find out the name just google the card and find the drivers.

Install it and see how it works. good luck do vote

Yes it does, but it's not recommended to use it since the XP installer was designed to be launched from a cd. Just find a cd-rom unit, whatever its age - recover one from a junked pc.

Dear Mr. Yaseen; To install windows XP SP2, you will need a disk that self installs the windows. You will be asked very few questions. Now, who said that the computer does not see your drice? In order that we can check that we will need a Rescue Floppy Disk. When you bought the computer you were given two (2) CD/DVD, one contains the OS and the other the drivers. If the drive C is corrupt beyond repair, you will need the Rescue Floppy Drive, which open the way to MSDOS, upon which Windows XP SP2 is based. Remove all CD/DVD from the computer and insert the Rescue Floppy Diskette. It should start immediately. It will ask you one question, if you want to have CD/DVD help and you say yes. The rest will happen automatically and a new drive named "A" will be established: There is no drive "B" in normal windows; drive C is usually the "windows XP SP2" drive; drive D can be the C

The first thing is to make sure that your CD/DVD drive has the windows disk in it. Also check drive C which is where the windows will be installed. It may require that it is hard formated. Hard formatted means "format x /u" [format-space-drive to be formatted-space-right slash-u]. This will place the drive for "windows xp sp2", all of it, to one pass of zeroes. So, once we have a clean drive C and the installation disc is inserted into the CD/DVD drive, you may proceed to install. You will need to find "install" or "setup" and start it on he "RUN" mode. Any questions or help get back to me. CONSTANTIN (arzconst)

Drivers are not needed for USB 2.0 support in anything past Windows XP service pack 1. Install Service Pack 3 and you'll be all set.
