Big problem

[Dark Nova]

Ok i got 2 problems.

1) i have a "asus A8N sli-deluxe mobo", it has Ethernet and audio already on it. i installed the driver for the audio sucessfully, but when i try to install the drivers for my Ethernet, it says that its not compatible with XP pro. So i downloaded the recent driver of them off my other pc, but this time it says "this service package is un-availeble with this prosesor type". So i need Help urgent plz

2) I have a 250GB HD. When i installed xp, the screen showed me that i only have 131000MB available witch is about 1/2 of my HD. how do i get the other half. Ive heard that i can restore them with a norten program.

Plz help me

I have the same mobo and same OS, and I had no prolem with the ethernet drivers, did you go to device manager, and then select the driver under networking devices and right click it and choose to update driver, you can do both the nvidia and the marvel drivers, or just one of them.

ya, it says "has not pass the logo testing for windows XP to see if its compatible".

A lot of drivers haven't been logo certified, if it's the right driver for the right OS and right device, install it anyway. Download the driver direct from the Asus website.

You need XP SP1 or SP2 to see a drive that large.

You are probably downloading the drivers for 64 bit XP. Here's the ones for standard XP:

Marvell adapter:

I'm assuming the Nvidia adapter drivers are part of the chipset driver package.
