[STAN JONES]

My bad, for the HTPC you're good with that. For some reason I thought you were buying multiple boards, one for HTPC one for a main rig.

There's a 4 pin header near the front panel headers that it gets plugged in to.

On the motherboard or the case?

Motherboard. It should be labeled. It will be with the same group of pins as the power/reset button pins.

If you are working on the H77M board it doesn't have a header for that so you don't need to use it. On the Pro4 board there will be 4 pins designated for it on the front panel header.

Make sure bios is set to boot from whatever device it is you want it to boot from. Does the HDD you have in there have Windows installed?

That's most likely why its giving you that floppy disk error. It's basically telling you it doesn't know where to boot from since there is nothing on the HDD.

Edit: Where's the build pics,

You have to install Windows, then the motherboard drivers once Windows is installed and running.

Put the Windows dvd in, set the bios to boot from the dvd drive, then when you reboot it should start the Windows installation.
