Hello,
I tried several times to install Win2k on a single SATA harddrive (Samsung SP1614C). With F6, I installed the SATA-drivers for the silicon v10050 drivers found at
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/CONTROLLER/IDE/SILICON_IMAGE/
and there are always errors:
Sometimes i get a plain BSOD saying either "KMODE_EXCEPTION not handled" or "irq less than or equal to(...)" right after Setup attempts to "start Windows 2000" or something like "Si3112r.sys: error in line 163". Once even I managed to choose the dest. partition, copy the files and when Windows started up for the first time to continue the installation, yep, I got the BSOD once again. The odd thing is 1.) installing Linux, e.g. Slackware was no problem at all and 2.) no matter what I tried , trying to update the BIOS always gave me "checksum" errors and 3.) all of the above was reproducible on an identical box (only the cpu differed, the other one had a athlon xp3000+).
My hardware (x2):
Athlon XP2800+ (other one: 3200+)
Asus A7N8X-E deluxe rev 1
sapphire radeon 9800pro
768mb of 3rd party ram not being on asus' compatibility list, but proven ok (twice)
samsung spinpoint sp1614c
I have the raid jumper enabled, the boot sequence is CDROM, SCSI (tried also hdd0 instead), boot other=off . I tried different versions of the driver from different sites. I tried different floppy disks since they are older ones and possibly not working, and different floppy drives. That problem also exists when trying to install Win XP.
My questions.: 1.) What am I doing wrong? 2.) Could it be that a crappy floppy drive controller produces random errors on the floppy disks without the OS recognizing them when writing? Because I copied the files from an older box. (this could explain the really strange fact of aditionally not being able to flash the bios).
thanks in advance
