Hello. I was looking for help if anyone can help me out with this problem, Id greatly appreciate it.

Specs:
Intel E8400 Wolfdale 3.0Ghz 6mb cache
ASUS P5N-D n750i
Western Digital 500 sata-300 HDD
ocz SLI READY 4gb 800mhz RAM
sparkle 8600 GT gddr2 512mb
APEVIA X-Plorer case
powerup! 800w psu
Windows XP disc ready to install

Hopefully I can fix this before someone replies. I'm getting the "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem".

Ive reformatting and fiddled with hardware. Still get the message.

Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem

I tried most of the stuff on this page:

Nothing seems to work. Also, method 3 gives me an "invalid syntax something blah blah error"


Thanks in advance~

Re: FirstBuild from Scratch. XP Installation Problem

Do you have your SATA drivers on a floppy disk? Do you have a floppy drive?

XP requires SATA drivers to be loaded prior to the install beginning.
