My turn Congrats and if you can't find pin 1 on the floppy drive, it's next to the power connector so put the red line of the ide cable there. Motherboard pin1s are clearly or not so clearly marked but you can check the manual. Now are ya ready to overclock that baby :O) Thanks Lane Lewis "Barry Ward" <baz@powerup.com.au> wrote in message news:3b2af7dc@grissom... > This 55 year old "old fart" put together his firat computer this morning. > A P3-1000 on an ASUS CUSL2-c board. > > And it worked first time!!! :) > > Well almost --- the machine starts up fine , I can access BIOS, -- but the > Floppy is running permanently and when it tries to boot from the floppy , I > get the dreaded "Floppy fail" message ..
