Weird install problem

[bigG]

Hi all,

I have a weird problem installing Windows XP Home OEM. en
It is on a Dell Dimension 9150, it has a sata 150gb HDD.

I had to format due to a virus, when i run the bios it recognises the HDD, i then put the xp install disk in, run it and it goes to the screen where you would normally select the drive to install. But the drive does not appear and it the blue screens.

I have an OEM version of vista from my laptop which i tried on the DELL, it worked fine, it recognised the HDD and installed first time.

So i tried the Xp Disk again, same thing, works up to select drive.

Any help on this would be gratefull

Thanks
G

Hi,

I used nlite to slipstream the sata drivers, and all worked well.

Thanks
