I have a problem that's driving me mad. I have just done my first build and, instead of being sensible and going for a normal IDE Hdd, I go for a Serial ATA. I've mananged to start it all up and load up Windows 98SE. However, I want to upgrade to XP and on getting a little way through the upgrade program the system came back and stated that there was a problem with Windows and to either remove the hard drive or hard drive controllers....make sure it's configured or run chkdsk/F. I've done all these and i can't seem to find a problem. Why does everything work fine in 98SE but not upgrading to XP. If anyone can help me and guide me through this, it would be much appreciated. I'm running a 2.4Athlon XP 256MB (PC3200) Seagate 80GB SATA drive Asus A7V8X Motherboard (oh yeah and there's some RAID thing that keeps telling me to set Array through SmartBuild....whenever i remove this then I can't load 98SE either and have to reset it) Hope this makes sense. Thanks ME
During the initial phase of the bootup, it says something like "Press F6 to load RAID drivers" try that. I had the ASUS A7V333+RAID and had no luck with it..... me hopes you fare better Also, something that me be interesting to check out: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwtest/search/details.aspx?id=721
