| XP install freezes during sata drive install ? Can't figure this one out...I have a new sata (Maxtor 500) in my box...I have W2000 installed on the primary IDE drive. Trying to install XP on my new Sata...can get it to format via setup...and have the sata drives floppy available...but...it has frozen during install 6 times ! Usually freezes up during 'loading files' phase...but once got all the way to the splash screen with the five buttons...froze during the #3 button..."installing windows" Tried installing Windows 2000 on the sata drive...installed fine. Formatted the IDE (with the old W2000 installation) and XP installed fine on the IDE drive...no freezes ? Anyone have an idea why I can not install XP Pro directly to the Sata drive...?...I have all the drives...etc...but XP install continually freezes during the copying files and/or splash screen after starting windows message ? Thanks, Tim R |
