Yeah, don't install while overclocked. Always run at the stock speed when you're installing anything significant (especially a whole OS).

If you limped your computer through your OS-install on an overclocked system... then I say you should wipe it clean and reinstall at the stock speed. If your overclock really isn't 100% stable, then you never know what kind of blips or glitches could have "poisoned" the OS during the install.

And is that an eight-gig... or an eighty-gig in your system? Just curious.

You should have three or four boot-device options in your bios... set them to 1. Floppy 2. CD-ROM 3. Hard Drive 4. Zip or other (if applicable).

Or... if you just installed this motherboard... you might have plugged the Floppy Cable in upside-down (I've done that). Does it show up in Windows?
