Hello,
I am trying to install XP Pro onto a SATA HDD, specificaly a Hitachi 320gb one. I dont have a floppy drive so I integrated my sata raid drivers with XP (using nLite). I get to the first blue screen and it seems to go ok. It recognizes both of my drives (both sata) however it does not recognized my partition that I made.
I continue anyway and just select the whole drive as there isn't anything on it anyway. It is formatted so XP copies the files to the hard drive and restarts. Then I can never make it passed this part. I get the "disk read error" and have to put my Vista disc in and repair it so it will start up.
In Vista I can see that XP did copy the files correctly to the hard drive. I do not know what to do and have tried everything.
Specs
XFX 680i LT Motherboard
Q6600 @ 2.4 ghz
4 Gb of RAM (800)
EVGA 8600gt
500 gb Western Digital HDD (Vista only)
320 gb Hitachi (Empty and ready for XP)
Thanks in advance.
Tony
