Hi chaps. This is a long standing issue for me which is unresolved and I’m now at the begging stage. It bugging me that much I’m even willing to pay someone to do this for me. I wasn’t sure where to post this as I’m not sure exactly where the problem lies, but as I can’t get a SATA drive installed I’ve put it in this section
In a nutshell; I can’t get the WinXP setup program to detect the SATA drive. Error message it gives when trying to boot the GUI section of the XP install is “Cannot load operating system”.
Better description; I boot off the WinXP CD and start the installation process (white text on a blue screen). The setup program is able to format the drive successfully and copy over some setup files ok so I know that the BIOS sees the drive and the initial setup writes okay.
Now, the problem occurs when it resets the PC and tries to continue to the second stage (GUI). After the POST completes it reports “Cannot load operating system”.
What I’ve done already;
I downloaded the Text and PNP mode nVidea nForce 4 SATA drivers and included them in an nLite configuration. This still didn’t fix the issue. (screenshot of this is at the bottom)
Please help!
Everyone tells me this “should” work, but it doesn’t. Can anyone help me please?
System config;
WinXP (installing from a pre-SP install disc)
ASUS A8N-SLi
SATA drive
Video card X700 (but upgrading to 8800GTS at the moment)
2Gb RAM
nLite driver screen showing the SATA drivers;
Thanks!
