OK I have finally had time to sit down and work on my HTPC using a shuttle SN27P2.

Long story short. I have everything listed on QVL but here is my problem:

I can install Windows XP, I can add the key and set the PC name and Admin pass. It then goes to setting up windows. when its about 95% through it asks me to provide the path for some dll's. Odd, i thought. So when I go to point it back to the D: which is the CDROM, its no longer there! It got disconnected. Frack!

So okay I skip what its asking for and it the install finishes. I boot into Windows for the first time and it boots No problem. HOWEVER, I am missing some "key" components. IE is not there (no biggie I use FF) the basic networking is not there, I have no default wallpapers, infact the dekstop looks like windows 2000.

I have tried 2 different XP disks that are valid and the same thing. I have also tried windows Media Center and it does the same. I have tried the F6 to add a controller but I get nothing.

Shuttle's Help is crappy so I turn to you guys. Is there a jumper that I need to set? Is it something stupid like setting the CDROM to master?

Damn I really want to get this up and running while I have time off or it will sit and collect dust.

So help!
 
I had the same problem with a SN26P, after several tries I used an older cdrw drive temp. hooked up to power & ide connector. Windows XP PRO installed ok & I then removed cdrw & Windows found & installed my dvdrw drive. I don't know why this happens, but this worked for me.
