My emachines w4682 socket 478 stopped working on me and I bought a new asus 478 socket motherboard. When I plugged everything up it would not boot to windows. It was reading the c: and d: but would not boot to windows so I reinstalled the restore discs that came with the w4682. Then it stopped reading the c: and d: I removed the battery to reset the bios and now it recognizes the drives in the bios but will not boot to windows. The only drive I can boot to is the floppy and when I type c: or d: it says invalid drive. When I take the floppy out all it does is keep restarting. I really don't know what to do, any help would be appreciated.
