 Posted: Sat Feb 04, 2006 8:39 pm Post subject: Single SATA problem |
 |
|
I have a big problem with a SATA Hdd in that it will not install winXp SP2.my MB is GA-K8VT800, Hdd is Seagate 80GB. This MB does not need an F6 driver install during WinXp install. It seems that all I need to do is change the SATA MODE from RAID to IDE in the BIOS. I have used the Seagate tool to format the Hdd…so why wont it work??
During install the process gets as far as ‘setup is coping files' part, then it stops at ‘driver.cab’. sometimes it goes a little further, but it will always stop and tell me that the file can not be copied, retry, skip or quit. I know its not the install disk because it worked on another ATA Hdd.
Can anyone help me out??
BTW this is not a RAID setup, just a single Hdd |

Your cd-r being the problem is a very big possibility!
If your cd is a "copy" that could also be an issue  |

Thanks all
The CD ROM and WinXp disk are both fine because I have been able to use both to install on another disk ( ATA) |
