Howdy all -
I just installed my new SATA hard drive, and cannot install windows. After I've installed the SATA controller driver that came with my mobo, when Windows starts to install, it gets 1%-2% in, and then displays an error screen -
Setup cannot copy the file: ks.sys
or sometimes it will make it as far as 27%-28%, and say -
Setup cannot copy the file: dvdplay.exe.
9 times out of 10, though, it stops on ks.sys.
I do not believe the optical drive is the problem, as I have used 2 different CD-drives, and it still stops at the same point.
I have also ruled out the Windows XP disc, because I have used to different discs, and again, it still stops at the same point.
Am I doing something wrong, or is my new hard drive bad? I would appreciate any insights you may have into this, and thanks in advance for your help.
My new hard drive is:
Western Digital 120GB 7200RPM SATA w/8mb cache
My comp:
DFI Lanparty NFII Ultra Rev. B
AMD Athlon 2500+ Barton
512MB PC3200 Geil DDR RAM
GeForce3 64MB
Lite-On 52x32x52x CD-RW
Sony 24x DVD-ROM
Thanks again for your help.
