I've spent about half the day building my new PC - a Windows XP Pro 64-bit box. I've installed the hardware and it is recognized by the BIOS on my Gigabyte PE45 UD3L motherboard.
The next step was to install the OS, a 64-bit version of Windows XP Pro. All went well until the installation program prompted me to remove the disk and reboot. I received the message: "A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart." I've ruled out any physical defects with the XP disk, the LG optical drive or the hard drives, because the installation files were successfully copied to the hard drives during each attempt.
There is a section in the BIOS called "Integrated Peripherals", which includes these three settings:
SATA AHCI Mode [Disabled]
SAT Port0-3 Mode [Disabled]
Onboard IDE controller [Disabled]
The "Standard CMOS Featues" section is a little odd. The HD settings are the same for IDE and SATA:
IDE Channel 0 Master [Auto]
IDE Channel 0 Slave [Auto]
Etc, Etc,
According to the manual, these settings "autodetect the parameters of the IDE/SATA devices on these channels." But no matter what settings I used I get the message, "A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart."
Any ideas?
Much thanks in advance,
Roy
