well after nearly putting my fists through the board i finally managed to install xp, very unstable i might add, the only way it would let me install was to set it to the fail-safe mode

these boards are overpriced peice of craps!
should have bought a mini atx instead with a way better onboard video, may be a little bigger but who cares when its in the trunk anyways!
