No offense, but I get the impression you're not reading my posts.

I've made it clear since my original post that I'm running with a minimum hardware configuration and have been from the start. I've also made it clear that I'm not getting a video signal; it is, in fact, the entire reason for this thread.

If I had a video signal, I would have already installed an OS. And if the machine were operable enough to allow me to boot from CDs, format hard drives and install operating systems... this thread would not exist.
