Hey guys,
Totally new PC just built up.
It has a Samsung SpinPoint HD501LJ 500GB SATAII Hard Drive
As i attempt to load Window XP, the system gets the point of loading the files it needs to start setup, and fails to read one of the files (it stops at different times during installation).
I have to Quit setup.
When i reboot the machine and go into the BIOS, the HD is no longer showing in the SATA list - and if i try and boot it hangs.
I have to restart again. This seems to allow me to see the HD in the BIOS again.
Ive swapped SATA leads over 3 times and this doesnt help.
Does this mean that the HD has a problem - or is it the connection to the Asus P5K Premuim Motherboard?
Cheers in advance
