Actually what I said before was correct, durring install Vista is looking for a driver. I can see both the hard drive, CD/DVD drive, floppy, and USB drives when I am trying to look for the missing driver.

Would the SATA & IDE mode settings in the BIOS have any effect on this? I've played around with them but doesn't seem to change anything. Could it be a bad MB? I hate to jump to that conclusion because it seems to be working fine.

Just a quick update, I went back and hunted through the entire DVD of drivers Asus provided with the motherboard and I went through literally levery folder to find the missing driver ... no luck. I haven't built a system in like 5 years and I used to build systems for a job when I was in college for 4 years. I feel like such a noob now and its so frustrating! But thanks again for everyone helping me!
