Ok, I sent back the motherboard to newegg.com and my thoughts were probably
right. It hasn't come back yet. The first time I sent it back, it was back in
no time at all. This time, I did right and sent it by USP and didn't have to
pay 8 bucks or 6.50 to send it back. I used the second e-mail and did it
right. Both e-mails had the RMA number or wtf number it's called on it.

This mobo is an ECS Elitegroup GF6100-M754. I'm using a SATA drive, the one I
was going to use on the Thermaltake tower. The hard drive, again, is a model
SAMSUNG Spinpoint 1916C, I think that's it. I already installed it, and it's
a bitch to take off now.
Ok, my question is what do I push to get into BIOS before I load the OS. My
options on the OS, are Windows XP Pro and Home. I have the Windows XP Pro
upgrade editon that I bought from Best Buy 3 years ago. But, I think that has
to already have a OS running on it to use.
Ok, Del, F1, F2 or wtf to get into BIOS to configure a SATA or choose a
SATA drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, attilathehun1

Press the "Del" key - page 31 of the manual.
That will get you to the BIOS.
