I just bought a new 8800GT for my computer (A Gateway GT5228 with an integrated GeForce 6100 chip) and a new power supply. Installing the actual hardware into my case was a breeze but when I put in the CD to install the drivers for the graphics card it would give me a message along the lines of "Could not find any compatible hardware, installation will now exit" In the box came an orange note directed towards people like me with integrated graphics chips that told me to disable the integrated graphics through the BIOS and activate the PCI slot through an option called "Primary Display Adapter". There is no such option on my BIOS menu, the manual doesn't say a thing about it and the company's tech support doesn't help all too much. I've already tried to disable the 6100 through Windows device manager but the installation disc still sees the 6100 there and not 8800Gt that I know I put in the right slot (and connected directly to the new power supply). Is anybody familiar with this BIOS menu? Can anybody tell me which option disables the onboard graphics and activates the PCI-E slot? I'm fairly new to hardware installation and the last thing I want to do is spend hours trying an option in BIOS, restarting seeing that it does nothing repeating that for hours and hours and finally breaking my computer because I disabled the wrong thing.
Here's a picture of my BIOS screen.
