Building my first computer, last few questions (Hopefully)?

alright, so my build is pretty much done for part choice, i’m pretty sure all parts are compatable, and i’m still under my price range with all these parts. total price is around 1100$.

In your opinion, how does this look for a build? i may get an optical drive on a later date and i’m a linux user so i can install my os by live CD.

one question i need to ask is: if i get a high quality soundcard, will it disable the one on the MoBo? When making my linux Kernel, i don’t want to make the MoBo sound work, but the card’s.

Also, is there anything else i’ missing other than speakers, a monator and a mouse? (i have those already) Thanks! if you need extra info, let me know!
I picked out an optical drive so i’ll be good with that and i’m going to put win7 on it when i have time, i just gotta go out and get a copy. I realize the MB is sometimes DOA, but it’s the best one i can find; i’ll check on tigerdirect too.

Help installing Windows XP sp2.?

Alright, I need to reinstall Windows XP sp2 I’ve got a os recovery disk from dell, when I try to install it everything goes fine until a few minutes after the restart. Then It tell me to insert the disk containing “Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio Installation” I’m pretty sure It should be on the os recovery disk so when I put it back in It tells me to locate the driver “hdaudbus.sys”, but my keyboard and mouse go dead. What should I do, It’s my only computer and now I’m running it on a a linux ubuntu live CD and I need Windows back up. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Linux Mint 6 start up not responding error -10pts?

Alright, I’m new to Linux (in fact, I’ve never really used) and I just wanted to test out Linux Mint 6 this morning. I made the live boot CD. I popped it in, and everything seemed to be running fine. I got to the start up screen (where it ask you if you want to start Linux normally, or in safe mode). I told it to start normally, the screen went black, it gave me a bunch of mombo jombo with a lot of dots afterwards(honestly, I wasn’t paying much attention), it said ready, and then some error code came up that said not responding. I tried it over several times. I even loaded it on to a partition and tried to boot it off that and it didn’t work. i downloaded it again and made another boot CD, and still got the same results.
Any genius out there who has a what’s up?
And yes, I am a Noob so treat me like your grandmother.

Puppy Linux on a 1GB SD card…?

alright. i want to install puppy linux onto a 1gb sd card. i know that you CAN, i just dont know how. i also have no idea how to boot off an sd card. i WOULD just do the live cd thing, but i have no blank cd’s around. can someone PLEASE HELP!?!

Trying yo install fedora core 9.?

I have a copy of fedora core 9 (copied from linux website). When I copy the op to a DVD rw cd it seems like everything works out alright. (All the files seem to transfer). What my main problem is that when I restart my computer, go to the boot menu (F12), and go to the DVD ROM option it says that no DVD ROM was found. I think that this is the right option because this is where I go to when I run a live cd version of linux.

Is the problem that I format the DVD with windows, that the dvd is RW, or am I just messing up along the way?

The best solution that ACTUALLY SOLVES MY PROBLEM will get the best answer rating.
