On the first boot you should press the key, and on the first reboot you should not press the key. If your system behaves differently, you might need to pull the disc out or go to the boot menu and choose the hard drive. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/zip-downloaded-drivers#post-21988 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 05:28:43 +0000 VictorSarabia 21988@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ScottW: I am going to check on it, not shure but it sounds like You are correct, So if that may be the problem What should I do?

Typically, on this kind of install you would first boot from the optical drive. Windows installation will start and begin copying files to your hard drive that will be used for the next phase of the installation. The first restart should boot off of the hard drive and continue installing Windows. When you say that it goes back to the beginning, I'm wondering if maybe the system is booting off the optical drive after the first reboot instead of the hard drive. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/zip-downloaded-drivers#post-21985 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 05:02:27 +0000 VictorSarabia 21985@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Got the driver from ECS web site. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/zip-downloaded-drivers#post-21984 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 05:01:33 +0000 VictorSarabia 21984@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>The problem that I got is: I tried to install Ubuntu 7.04 , it started but then it froze.
