XP problems, won't install

[gogeeta13]

Alright, I am trying to install WinXP on my kk266-r. I have the drives on my AMI raid controller, but they are not Raid-ed. I choose the driver off the disc when the installation starts, then it just frezes when it says "Setup is starting windows"(in the bottom). I didn't find any new drivers on Iwills site.

Please gimme some advice on this one.

Thanks!

the very first time windows xp starte for me, it said setup is staring windows...and sat there for about 3 literal minutes, have patience unless nothing is omving on the screen.

winxp desktop boots up in about 6 seconds after the bios shows up on my PC, very fast.

dang my bootup takes more like 30sec to 1 min .. due to my scsi card.. and the devices..

but its much quicker than Win2k and Win ME.. not to mention win98 se

well, it didn't freeze yet, I put one of the drives on the onboard via controller, working thus far...

My win98se takes about 18-20 seconds...winxp shuts down and loads up very quick friends!

hence the reason why I am installing. And hopefully, my CS wont crash every 20 minutes anymore

Win2k doesn't like the onboard raid on the KT7A (at least it used to not), the solution was just to switch your hard drive (as long as it's not RAIDed) to a standard IDE controller, then just switch it back when it's installed. But it sounds like you're all ready trying that, and it should work.

2 suggesstions

1)Put your harddrive on normal IDE channel and try. If it does the same thing
2) Use a different RAM.

Alright, well XP is working fine on my HDD. I connected it to the primary IDE controller.
