Please log in for more thread options I just finished building my new rig. Asus P5K Premium MD, 4 gig Crucial DDR 800, Intel Core 2 Duo E6850, Nvidia GTS 8800, 2 WD Caviar Sata 2 HDD, Sata DVD rom, Sata RW DVD. Everything will POST fine. The bios (latest) sees everything correctly. When I try to install win xp I have issues. Since I have the SATA drives I have a floppy loaded with the RAID drivers (Jmicron JMB363) so that is ready to go. Hit the F6 and things work fine until the format. The first few times I did this the quick format worked and then XP hung while copying files. Now it will quick format but after it hits 100% it says that it could not format the disc. Same issue for both drives (only see 131g on the either drive, one is 350 and other is 250). I'm at a loss here. This is my 5th machine I have built and the first time I have had a show stopper. Would Vista 32 see the SATA drives and work fine or would I still have to do the floppy. Any help would be great. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options the install is with winxp sp2; the sp1 might also work as it also fixes m$'s crap, like "no one needs more than 64k or a 120 gig drive". I just completed the winxp onto a 500 gig sata drive while I'm still recaptuing the linux stuff onto the old ide 160 gig. For slipstreaming, do a google for autoslipstream or goto: "www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/slipstream.htm" | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Well Vista install failed. Hung up. Now I can't even get to the format part,
hangs before then. Very frustrating. Something is not right and I am not sure of what. >I was afraid of that.
