Well, I've run into this before, and the last time it was some RAID drivers that weren't getting installed. Had to make a driver floppy on another computer and do the F6 install some SCSI driver during XP install.
Problem is this time, the board doesn't have anything like that. Pretty simple board.
Still am thinking it's not getting some drivers installed.

So.....
I installed 98. That worked fine. Then I did an upgrade (arrrggghhh!) with the XP upgrade disk. All works well now and the client has his computer.

I still would like to know which drivers it needed and how to get them there. I tried the F6 during install and the only option is to put them on a floppy. It won't even think about looking at a CD. I tried sticking a handful of .inf files on a floppy that I found on the MOBO's CD, but XP wasn't happy with that.

If anyone else has had this problem of getting 3rd party drivers installed during XP installation, I sure would like to know how to get around it. This is the second time it's happened and both times it's been on ASUS boards.

Thanks everyone for suggestions.

New XP install on Asus P4P800 VM, 1 gig of ram.

After copying install files from the XP Home disk it attempts to start the Windows installation then I get:
Windows stopped error message.

0x0000006F: SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

The only hits I get on Google says that there is a hard ware problem.
New Seagates, just formatted them with the Seagate disk.

Where do I look?

Thanks for the help

If you are using parallel ATA Drives, check if you have the 80-wire parallel cable. My new P5P800 motherboard would not load XP with the older 40-wire HD cable, which worked on the previous ECI MB without any trouble.
