Installing XP on New Hard Drive

[Enrique]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Alright I just finished with my first PC Build. I turned it on and everything
went well. I placed my OS CD (Win XP Pro) and it installed everything. After
it finished it said that the computer would reboot. It rebooted but then it
went back into Window's Setup again. I thought this was wierd, so I took out
the CD and restarted the computer. But it did nothing, it ran throug the
normal stuff, asked me if I wanted to use RAID utility etc., and then stopped
at Boot from CD. If I put the OS CD in again, it just takes me back to setup.
What's going on?? Is this suppose to happen?? Its asking me once again to
accept the licesnce agreement? What should I do?

Go into the BIOS and remove the CD drive from the boot order, change the
first boot device to the hard drive, and try again.

Hey unfortunately that didnt work. I made my "Hard Disk" (there was no Hard
Drive option) the first and only boot device and nothing happened. The same
old stuff came up and then it sat there after it was "Verifying DMI Pool
Data." I'm using a SATA 150 Hard Drive, does that make a difference?? Well
anymore ideas???

Did you read your M/B manual - the section on how to install the SATA
drivers during the Windows Install? Without these drivers the computer will
not boot up.
