I'm trying to install XP on a SATA rack drive and having problems. I've disconnected all other hard drives, put in the XP disc and booted up fine....it sees the XP disc and starts the setup process. It continues to copy files and then has to do a reboot. Upon reboot, I get the message, "A disk read error occurred Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". Of course doing this just makes the same thing happen. The disc is a 320 GB drive with a 45 gb OS partition that's formatted NTFS and clean.
I've done the same process in other drives with Linux OS's and Windows 7 beta with no problems and wonder why this XP install is not working. The BIOS sees the SATA drive and even booting directly to the drive doesn't work. I can put in any other drive in the rack and boot directly to it with no problems.
Any ideas and am I even making sense?
TIA
