p4p-800-e delux>>> sata problem

[stimpy]

ello,

i got a new hdd yesterday and got some problems

its a maxtor diamond 10 250 gb 16mb cache sata drive

ok this is what i did:

i installed the hdd and conected all the cable's correctly (duh)(on the sata plug on the motherboard (sata1)

tthen i powered p the pc and run windows xp setup
pressed f6 to install the sata drivers and setup recogniced the hdd nicely

made 3 partitions

on the first partition i tryed to install windows xp

the first attempt to install it failed becouse it hung during windows xp installation

2nt time the same thing happened so i tryed it 1 more time..and it installed windows completely at 3th attempt

now in windows xp i get blue error screens when i try to install programs like service pack 2 for xp

i writed down 2 errors:
_______________________
kernel_data_inpage_error

stop: 0x0000007a
_____________________

stop: 0x000000ce
_____________________
allso after the error i have to reset the pc...but after pushing the reset button.....the hdd led flashes 5 times slowly, and the hdd dissapeart in the bios.

shutting the pc down by pressing the powerbutton and turn the power on again makes the hdd appear back in the bios..and windows loads again.

i tryed to replace the data cable with a new 1 but no effect
bios is updated

You did set Motherboard bios for SATA, right?

Main> Ide Configuration> SATA -or- PATA -or- Both

I did have a problem with a SATA drive when using a cheap power supply some time ago. 500 watts is NOT too big. 350w is marginal IMHO.

Other than that, Sorry don't have a clue.

Got the latest motherboard bios?
