Then you should have explained that you were trying to dual boot when we see these posts we see the question and not the forum it is written under.So without details we are allways having to quess at what you are trying to inform us to the problem

You need to be a bit more patient. When you press the F6 key it will continue to load files till it is ready to install the third party drivers and you will be prompted to insert the disk that the files are loaded on

1)If you got the drivers from the motherboard driver CD there is a file in there explaining the proper procedure for making the drivers ready to be installed.
2)If you got the drivers from the manufacturer's website there should be a instructional sheet on how to install the drivers as well...
In most cases you will need to use the "Make disc" application that is also included on the mobo driver CD or the manufacturer's website.
