I just built a new machine with an Asus A8V, AMD64 3000+ I want to install Windows XP Pro SP2 on my Samsung 80 gig SP0812C sata harddrive. It is the only drive installed.
Everything loads nicely, I hit F6 and install the sata drivers, the drive is recognized and then windows starts to install. Then it hangs. When it asks me if I want to install windows I hit enter and it hangs at 1 of the 3 following points:
Please wait...
Setup is examinging your discs..
Accept the license agreement Hit F8, please wait.
It just sits there and does not continue to load.
I've tried installing on both the VIA and the Promise controller, in both slots. I've tried a new cable, I know the hard drive is working, I've used it as a storage drive on another machine. I've tried a couple of different ram chips I know work. The drive is set to IDE mode in the bios.
I'm stuck. Any suggestions?
