hello everyone,
i have 2 questions i need answers to. i am using an EVGA 680i premium motherboard and a 250 SATA II hard drive(forgotten the make). i have vista installed on it but i want to install xp64.
q1- when i insert the cd and start, the cd loads and all until it gets to the page asking if i want to install, repair or leave. i choose install and the computer freezes. it doesn't do anything. i know that this is a problem with the new motherboards and SATA II hard drives and this question has been asked many times but i've searched and none of the answers are clear enough. can anyone brief me on what to do?
q2-with the vista installed anytime i try to install the items that the motherboard requires from the cd that it comes with it works but as soon as i restart the system, i get a bluescreen. i downloaded the vista chipset for the board and installed that and still got a bluescreen. is there any way around this issue as well?
thank you
