Need help badly.

I just received my new mobo today, FIC AU13, set up with a AMD XP3200
processor and 512 mb or DDR3200 Ram. I then placed my video card and sound
cards in the box, figuring I'd just use the onboard lan. I installed a brand
new Western Digital 160 gb hard drive and the first problem was the freaking
floppy wouldn't work!! I wanted to use the Win 98 setup disk to format the
HD. Any ideas there? I noticed the light on, which normally indicates the
cable reversed, but even after I switched it around, the light stayed on.
Reversed on the board? I don't know anymore. Anyway, I booted from the
Western Digital CD and then had no idea what was up, called their tech
support and was told to load Windows XP Pro. I placed that CD into the drive
and it began the installation process. Now even that takes a dump....the
error message is:

STOP: 0x000000CA (0x8236003, 0x82340C08, 0x00000000)

Anyone have any idea what that's all about?

Any help will be appreciated...
