ok, u have the CD that came with the motherboard....
the drivers will surely be there in the CD... search for them... paste the files in another floppy and get it done...

And please for next time... integrate ur drivers in ut winXP install CD so that u would not need the floppy and F6 thing...

If u dont find the driver post back we'll help
