To all sifu


I just got my self a Tforce 7050 and a new Pioneer DVDRW Drive over the weekend. Ofcourse i have the rest of the parts CPU, bla bla bla... bla bla bla...
I installed everything as per normal and it was great. I know that i have to reformat the HDD on C: drive and eventually i did.

Here is my situation.
I set the bios to CD rom booting and i manage to boot and install a new fresh WinXP after the format.
Everything went ok.

when the window is fully installed, i replace the WinXP cd with the mobo driver CD. I waited but no autorun came up. so i try to explore the CD but there arn't any file inside. Curious... then i tested that cd in another computer and it works. it seems like the CDrom is not detecting the files.
Then i try to put back the WinXP cd into the drive to test out. This time it can read the file content but the exe files does not shows the setup icon. It shows something like an unrecognise file. I explore the CD and try to manually execute the setup and here is the error message. "E:\ is not a valid Win32 application"

I thought that it was my DVD drive problem so i swap with my old LG. Same problem came up.

All the CD which i can't read form my PC, i can explore in my old rig.

I even try to copy file from my new PC DVD drive to the HDD, same error came up. "E:\ is not a valid Win32 application"
I have check, there is nothing wrong with my WinXP CD as well as other drivers CD.

Your help is highly appreciated.

thanks...
