I have P4C800 "E Deluxe" version (1 SATA and 1 IDE HDD). The difference
could be in the BIOS version that you have ( I think mine is old 1009). The
original ISO CD1 was causing my machine to reboot when I ran the install.
Finally I got a patched ISO boot image (thanks again Karsten!) which allowed
me to smoothly install FD2.

You need to enable the onboard LAN card in the BIOS. What is interesting
here I never managed to configure this onboard LAN card with Win XP (using
original Asus drivers). XP simply couldn't recognize the card/install
drivers. I even thought that my onboard card was broken since I saw a few
postings indicating the some P4C800 mobos had broken LAN cards. I was so
surprised when this card was recognized by FD2 and works :) FD2 is a great
release!
