Hi,
I recently built a new computer with the following specs:

MB: Maximus Formula ASUS (didn't do BIOS update)
CPU: E6850 (no overclock)
Video: 8800GT 512
HDD: SATAII Western Digital 500 gig
RAM: TWINX2048C4DHX
PSU: OCZ 850WATT
CASE: ANTEC 900
Sound: ASUS FX Supreme 2

Problem: After putting everything together with no problems, fixed minor things in the BIOS for my advantage, doing no overclocking, BIOS recognized my HDD 500 gig WD SATAII and my SATA DVD burner with no problem. When I'm about to install WINXP PRO (32-bit), I get to the screen where you press "enter" to install WINXP, "R" to repair or "X"(or something) to exit. So I press "enter" to install WINXP, get please wait, then my machines reboots, then DVD finds winXP cd, then I'm back to the screen where it says press enter to install WINXP. My question is, how can I fix this or what could cause this? My mobo detects to HDD. Could it be a HDD issue?
Thanks,
Chris
