OKay, so I had my first attempt come out fairly well with the flat-image but here is what I have to build with today...
GA-P35C-DS3R
C2D 6550 Intel Proc
4GB Kingston PC5200@667Mhz
PNY 7300GT
(various assortment of drives BUT, OS will be on a Seagate 80GB SATA drive)
This will be dual booted with XP (but I will have the AHCI enabled on the board).
I intend to once again use the flat image as i was never able to find the mysterious Kalyway Boot Prepare CD for download. I have had success with the GA-P35-DS3L and the flat-image with the only issue being the audio driver. I even had EFI v5.1 running on it.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I may need to get everything working on this?
