GA-EP35-DS3R. CD Drivers Problem !?!?!

[dimitar]

Anyone with this problem. Just got GA-EP35-DS3R. Installed XP without problem but after tried the CD with Gigabyte drivers I've got this on the image.
Also I can hardly browse the installation cd but after tried to copy some files it says there are problems...
Also I've got something like do you want to start the script YES or NO.
The system was acting slow.
Then I've installed the drivers for my Video card and all went well.
Any ideas??
Thank you!!!

I would suggest for you to download the drivers from Intel for your chipset and install FIRST >>>
Download Software, Drivers and Utilities Filters

And the rest get from the GA site for your board they are likely newer anyway >>>
GIGABYTE - Support - Motherboard - Driver - GA-EP35-DS3R (rev. 2.1)

THANK YOU!!!

I did that already ...

Do you think that the stock DVD with drivers is bad?
Should I return the mobo...?

Na, usually there is just newer ones online. And yeah you could have just got a damaged CD.

And yes, you will have to allow the script for the CD to run properly. So if you are interested in seeing it run then allow that script

Lsdmeasap, thanks again! Solved - Bad STOCK CD media

I've tried another Gigabyte CD but for AMD cpu and the express loader loaded fine.

Yeah, sometimes CD's just dont make it thru shipping scans and such.

Either way it is always normally best to get your drivers online because usually the CD's are a bit dated
