I am having some trouble getting through DOS, the BIOS, and installing the operating system. Been trying to get it to work for hours, and I finally admit that I need help. The Western Digital harddrive that I got came with a cd: Data Lifeguard Tools v11.1, I did the easy installation on my HD. Should I set the installation to custom and mess around with the numbers for the space and stuff?
A problem that I got was "NTLDR is missing" when I try to install Windows XP, I already set first priority boot to cd-rom, and hard drive to second. did not make a difference.
Also I just noticed that in the startup after it displays main processor, memory testing, and after the IDE channel 1 & 2 and Master & Slave, it showed "Memory test fail" for some reason even though before it said that Memory testing: 1048576k OK. then says Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP.
My hardware is a Abit AV8 motherboard, AMD Athlon 3000+, Kingston 1GB Value ram, and WD SATA 160GB if that helps.
