i've got a "Samsung SpinPoint P HD080HJ 80GB SATA-II 8MB Cache"
and an ePoX nForce 3 mobo
first problem: after installing Windows XP with the SATA drivers on a floppy, windows crashed when installing the other nForce 3 drivers.
second problem: it's noiser than a 8 year old 20GB drive in another computer i have even though overclockers state "...with a drive that is so quiet, you won't even know its there"
third problem: windows takes ages to load, in fact you can see the white progress bar before the main one.
can anyone help me!
so far i've ran the samsung drive test utility and it says it's fine
