In reading the manual, YES I AM READING THE MANUAL,oddly enuogh it says ... and I quote.

This is an AsusP5E-VM HDMI motherboard. Page 2-28

"You must install the Windows XP Service PACK 1 or later version before using Serial ATA hard disk drives."

Now, call me anal, but just how can you install any OS let alone a service pack before using the hard disk
since the hard disk must be used to install the OS?

What am i missing here?

thanks
