okay, so I took apart the computer to hook up the other hard drive for windows, and wouldnt ya know, the card is an all in wonder x800. not compatible huh?
and i never did get windows installed... im guessing its because i have the hard drive jumped as a slave, not on cable select. more to come later about that.
one more thing: i pulled out the sound card and replaced it with a Sound Blaster LIVE! EMU10K1, which ive been reading isnt compatible... what a waste.
