I built the system, got a successful post, configured the bios and then booted from the install cd. It's an XP re-installation CD from Dell, since I'm trashing that computer and using the license on this one (told that's legal).
I hit F6, loaded the SATA drivers for ACHI mode and let it partition the drive and reboot. I then directed it to boot from the hard drive (plugged into to GSATA0) and the system immediately restarts with no error message.
I went back and reset all the bios to standard defaults except for usb mouse and keyboard, retried to boot from hard disk and had the same result. Any thoughts?
