Abit IP35-E HELP ME PLEASE!

[Gnrfan228]

Alright, I've been working on my new motherboard for hours. I got an Abit IP35-E. There's a really big issue that I have with the board. When I try to install windows, I get the error quoted below. It happens after the hard drive formats and copies the files. Once it tries to restart and enter the windows setup is when I get this error. I've made sure that the first boot device is the hard drive in the bios and have no clue what else to do. It says :

Windows could not start because of a computer disc hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disc. Check boot path and disc hardware.

I tried installing windows with both my sata raptor and IDE maxtor drive and it happens to both. I moved my old mobo back into the case and reformatted the raptor and am on it now, so it can't be the hard drive. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

Model of RAM? Did you manually set the memory voltage and timing to specs?

Pull power plug from PSU. Remove battery and clear CMOS for 1/2 hour. Restart board. Go into BIOS and load Optimized Default. Save and reboot back to BIOS. Set RAM voltage and timing per specs. Change USB mouse and keyboard from OS to BIOS. Set the optical drive as 1st boot and HDD as 2nd boot. Make sure that you have zero filled the HDD to remove all existing data. Load WXP or Vista CD/DVD. W2K may present a problem.
