    Problem trying install an OS

    Well I went to the Samsung site and got this: http://www.samsung.com/global/...ies/Support_HUTIL.html I haven't tried it yet since I don't know if it's the right one. I think it is. I then went to the Gigabyte site and couldn't find the SATA drivers. All they have for drivers are these...

    Problem trying install an OS

    I wasn't sure if just the port was bad or if other parts of the board were bad too. Everything works fine with Vista. When I try to install XP with one of the HD plugged in I get a black screen after it starts the setup. When I unplug that and plug in the other one I get the error message...

    Problem trying install an OS

    No I didn't turn off or unplug the PSU. I didn't think I had to. I don't think anything is messed up because of that though. There is some weird issues though. Since I swapped the memory sticks from 1,3 to 2,4 my second HD isn't showing. When I had the memory in 1,3 and try to install Vista it...

    Problem trying install an OS

    Where do I find these utilities? Are they on their site? Dillybob: I'm not sure what you say would work. When I try to install that's when I get the error messages. Thanks for those links Robisbell. They seem kind of complicated though. I have another question that might change how I go...

    Problem trying install an OS

    Problem trying install an OS

    Do I have to format the drive while Vista is installed? I was just putting in the Vista disc as if I was going to do an install. The when it asked where to install to I clicked delete. I had to delete because it wouldn't let me use the format option. It wasn't lit up.

    Problem trying install an OS

    I'm trying to get rid of Vista from a new rig I built and "upgrade" to XP. Vista installed fine it just doesn't work with my printer, scanner or some other programs I have. XP runs everything. When I try to install XP I get a message saying the install has been shut down to prevent damage...

    Major problem need help!

    I don't have the ME disc. It came with my old computer and all I had was a recovery disc. The I had to get a new HD and they said the recovery was basically useless. Then I upgraded to XP. There is no other way around this problem? I was thinking about getting XP 64 anyway. Maybe I should...

    Major problem need help!

    I recently completed my first build and everything was going great. I stupidly decided to install Vista 64 Home. My old Compaq had XP. Well with Vista my printer doesn't have full function, scanner won't work, Corel Painter IX.5 won't work, Kodak Easyshare won't work, etc. So I finally decide to...
