New box, new problem.

Put together a new computer yesterday. Everything seems to work but I can't get the OS to install.

Tried 2003 advanced server but It hung on "finding previous operating system". The box doesn't say "upgrade" but maybe it is.

Tried a 2000 eval copy and got further but it took 2 1/2 hours to format the drive to "48%". That aint right.

Gonna try 98SE and see what happens. I did notice that on the old board you set the multiplier with jumpers. On this one think it's done in the bios. Probably should look into that.

Anything else I should check?
