ok. system:
ABit AN8-Ultra
Athlon64 X2 4200+
1GB PC3200 Corsair
GeForce 6600GT PCIexpress16
Maxtor Serial ATA 250GB hard drive
i booted off the winx64 CD...installed windows onto the maxtor...yay it works. boots into windows for first time (i'm guessing through the CD). i install the x64 nForce drivers off the abit CD...at the ethernet driver, it copies the last file then reboots randomly...and then it won't boot off the hard drive. it says some NON SYSTEM DISK REPLACE error... wtf? so i boot it off my old hard drive which is xp32-bit but installed on completely different computer, i don't expect it to work. surprisingly it offers me a choice to boot from WinXp64! so i select 'last working config' and it boots into WinXP64 on the new SATA Maxtor hard drive.... except ethernet still isn't working. and it still won't boot off this drive.
any idea why it won't boot off the drive (meaning i put the sata drive as #1 in the hard drive priority list in the bios)? i'm gonna try the newest nvidia drivers for the ethernet.
