Question Trouble installing os on new system

I recently bought a Gigabyte nforce 3 mobo, AMD64 athlon 2800+, and having trouble installing any OS.I have 2 optical drives both hooked up to the IDE 2, My HD hooked up to the IDE 1 (master).I have tried clearing the cmos first,and every possible boot order. Here is what happens, I create new partition, format HD, and start istalling windows, It copy's files then wants to restart. Upon restart boot order 1-floppy
2-optical
3-HD
When it boots from cd it wants to start the install all over
again like i never did anything to it.
boot order 1-floppy
2-HD
3-optical
When it boots up it Varifying DMI data pool...
And just hangs their.
Now I own Win 98, Win Me, Win 2000pro, and XPpro upgrade. I have tried all of these with the same results.
I do have a OS running on it right now ..WINME but i installed it on my HD with another system then swaped it into the new system and it updated to the new MOBO however i would rather be running 2000pro or xp of course and
would appreciate any ideas.PLEASE thanks StratusMatt
