   The ASUS disk for the MB should have a file called makedisk.exe on it. Make   
   the floppy for your chipset.   
      
   When windows starts the install, hit the F6 key at the start, then wait   
   until windows asks for the separate software disk. Insert the floppy follow   
   directions and install XP
