i tried to make a boot disk from the the web sites download cause my drive is oem but when i try to boot from it i get non system disc error ... i tried to run memtest86 and the western digital apps from a floppy and they died so maybe its rma time.
my dvd rom is on 1sata and my wd raptor is on 0sata the red sata in the gigabyte board are regular sata and the yellow that im not using are for raid. Also i have reseaded the memory and power to every thing. i still got the blue screen rightr before it was to install windows.
it says ide slave master 2 of each im not sure if its sata or not either ... i was thinking i got a bad hd cause it crashed on windows xp load ... but im at my wits end at this pont.
i just got the gigavyte kn8xp - sli mother borad and set every thing up ... well here is where the probem starts.
i install the dvd rom sata drive and ide floppy and a 36gb wd raptor ... i boot up and at the first screen it says from ide 1-4 nothing is installed .. and then "checksum error"...
