i've finnished building my comp which has a 36gb raptor and 250gb seagate and im trying to install windows media center 2005 and near the start of the setup i get a error saying

"An unexpected error (769) occured at line 5182 in d:/xpsprtm/base/boot/setup/setup.c..

Press any key to contine"

then it goes onto say

"Setup either detected multiple disks in your machine that are indisthinguishable or detected raw disk(s). Setup has corrected the problem, but a reboot is required

Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit."

whats a raw disk? and shall i just take my seagate out then put it back in later once i've installed windows? will that work?
 
yeah, just pluged them in, aint done nothing to them.

you can probably tell but im a complete noob sorry and this is my first build.
 
once i insert the cd (1 of 2) it will ask me to press F6 if i want to install a raid driver ect, then it goes on to the bit where it says setup is loading files (********)

then it loads aload of them, then i get that error, so i dont get the chance to choose any format options, have i missed something before i should install windows?

EDIT: its step 2 that i get the error on in that link.
 
i didnt get any driver cd's with either hard drive as i got the oem versions and im running them though sata 2 connections so that wouldnt need them drivers would it?
 
im using the asus p5w dh deluxe mobo

edit: let me look, but im sure i didnt get any cd's with either of them
 
hmm slight problem, i didnt buy a floppy drive as i didnt think i'd need it, i can just hack one out of my old computer though, also i didnt think raid was nessersary, i thought it was optional.
 
ok that prog looked to complicated but i've now got a floppy drive hooked up and some spare floppys, how do i make a driver disk using the download? what bit do i copy?
 
its got a prog in the download that can make the disc but when i made the disc and tried it, it said "ntldr is missing"

well it looks like ntldr but can quite see the first letter as its slightly off the screen atm
 
right, now when it starts asking me to press f6 ect raid drivers ect, i press f6 but nothing happens it just carrys on, my keyboard does work and i've tried a different keyboard and it still carrys on.
 
hmmm, right it comes up asking me if i want to use this driver instead of the windows one, and i select to use that instead but it just keep asking me over and over everytime

in the end i just hit, use the windows one and it carried on until i got the error again.

would this error be caused by something not being hooked up correctly?
