But there is no drivers for windows 2003.
The 32 bit driver for windows xp will sometimes work
if it is a 32 bit system.
You can buy an external floppy drive and a cd/dvd drive to
connect the usb.
But the mainboard has a connector for the floppy drive.
Try to install the chipset drivers first and unzip the file before installation.
Consider to buy a mainboard compatible with windows server 2003
I will recomend a ASUS mainboard.
Never put the CD on IDE 1
The IDE hard drive should always be alone on the first IDE channel.
CD-ROM drives can slow down the transfer rates and cause other screwups, and so they should always be on IDE2 or as high as possible (Add in Cards)
did you re-install the mainboard drivers after the reformat of your hard drive??
you should have a disk of drivers for your mainboard but if not, go to the LG website as you can download and install them from here through the support portal.
you may need to install a cd audio driver as well but usually not..
Install the mainboard drivers first as this should cure this issue and yes, the PC will reboot at least twice during this procedure and this is nothing to worry about..
Hi,
You want to install a CD Drive. Ok you are Following these steps....
Unplug the power cable from your power supply and open your Computer case.
Determine which drive bay you are going to install a CD-ROM into. You should pick on of the uppermost drive bays
Before you install a CD-ROM, make sure you have the proper jumper settings. You are only installing a single CD-ROM, set the jumpers as MASTER. The jumper settings are different for each CD-ROM drive, so consult your owner's manual so you know which pins to cover up.
Once you have the jumpers set, install your CD-ROM in the computer's case. How you secure the CD-ROM in one of the uppermost drive bays depends on your case. Some CD-ROM drives have to be screwed into the drive bay.
Connect the power to the back of the CD-ROM drive, then connect the ribbon cable to the back of the CD-ROM drive. Your ribbon cable has three connectors, one in the middle and one on each end. The middle connector is a SLAVE connector that is used if you would install an additional CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
Connect one of the end connectors to the CD-ROM drive, and connect the other end connector to the appropriate spot on your motherboard. Note, hard drives and CD-ROM drives have the same style of connector on the motherboard. You want to connect your CD-ROM drive to the motherboard slot that isn't red or is the highest numbered of all the IDE slots.
Power on your computer after you plug it in. Your computer should recognize the new CD-ROM. If it doesn't, go into your motherboards BIOS and search around for the IDE channels, they need to be set to automatically.
SOUNDS LIKE ALOT OF COMPONET ERRORS AND CONFLICK ISSUES AND EVERYONE HAS TO BE FIXED 1 ITEM AT A TIME YOU MAY GET LUCKY AND FIX ALL THE PROBLEMS IN 1 SOLUTION BUT I DONT THINK SO.
unplug you hard disk, then switch on without your hard disk let your xpcd in your cd rom to run after reading your cd ''saying, no hard drive found'' switch off then plug it in your installation will proceed
