I agree with Dave, try a new cd


Two XP retail cd's saying the same thing??

I think it has something to do with the serial SATA drive trying to use it
as a boot drive. The mobo only has one IDE connector so I am now trying
it with a spare IDE drive as the secondary and the optical as the primary.

That will eliminate the SATA as a possibility. I'm not familiar with this
mobo.
It has raid built in and I wonder if not using the raid is messing with it.
Plus,
the manual doesn't way which SATA if any I should use as a single boot. I
didn't think it mattered but I tried plugging it into the only red connector
and
the computer doesn't see the drive at all that way. There are 3 blue SATA
and 4 Black ones. I tried the red and the number 1 black. In BIOS I saw
that
there is a 0 Sata but I'm not sure which one it is.
