I've just replaced my old HD with a new ATA WD5000AAKS hard drive on an ASUS K8N board.
Tried to install a fresh XP SP2 (from CD), created a NTFS partition, formatted and installed XP.
After the first boot, I get the message "Disk read error, press CTRL+DELETE".
I do have an access to the HD, see the files but it won't boot.
The new HD is detected by the BIOS it is on the boot list.
I already tried: fixmbr, fixboot, chkdsk /R
I do have the latest BIOS ver (however it is already 1 year old)
Any idea how to proceed??
