I'm installing XP Pro with a K8V SE Deluxe and when it prompts me to press F6 to install the drivers, nothing happens, but when I press F2 to do the recovery disk, it comes up. I tried my PS2 connector for the keyboard, and a few different keyboards both USB and PS2 and I get nothing. F6 just will not work.

Any help would be much appreciated.

have you put the floppy in before you press f6

tried with the floppy in and out before hitting f6. I also used a friend's PC, but hooked my hdds up to it, and it was still giving me the problem. I'm using seagate barricudas, and I'm going to try running seatools tomorrow.

very much so

well, I disabled promise but I still cannot for the life of me get it to work

I think I have narrowed my whole problem down to the floppy port on my mobo. It just does not work, and as I recall, it has never worked. I ordered a new one from newegg that should ship tomorrow, but until then I must find someone with an nforce 3 or 4 and use theirs.

It keeps telling me to run the seatools diagnostic program during windows instal, but it just won't read my floppy disk.
