ASUS motherboard?
Yes, the A7N8X-E deluxe motherboard.
A very popular board on this list. Just check the archives. Your in for a lot of work.
I doubt it has anything to do with the board, I had the same initial problems on the Acer 1501LCe laptop x86_64 upgrade, somehow playing around eventually got the update going (ATA100 HD). Likewise, Pete Nikolic has a different mobo and he had battle royal installing there also, having to create an XP partition before it would do an install on a new HD. Once installed, it's fine. As for me, there was no way it would update a ATA100 drive on the main box, pick the ATA133 and it liked it, except I had stuff backed up there, I could go to VC2 and manually mount it, but the upgrade couldn't, I had to rsync it on to a new ATA133 drive and make that hda, even then it still wasn't straightforward, lots of stuff it said it installed was missing and I ended up doing a new install without formatting the partitions, end of problem.
