Hey all, this is my first post
, and I am having some frustrating problems with my set up. Here is my setup:
A64 3200 newcastle, 8kda3J, 2x512 OCZ PC3700EB, ATI 9800pro->XT, Antec true480 watts, slk948-U + 80mm smartfan II on it.
Ok, so I am trying to do a clean install of XP pro. I have tried to do it on two different hard drives, one of which is brand new (WD 160gig ata100 8meg cache 7500rpm, older one is a Maxtor 80gig ata133 8meg 7500), and it gets through the format stage just fine, installs the windows files, reboots and shows the win xp splash screen, then as it should go to the windows set up, it displays a big BSOD:

Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check the hard drive to make sure it is properly confugured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

No viruses on new or old hard drive. Make sure it is properely configured? do they mean the jumpers? well, they are in the proper position. I have no idea how to run the CHKDSK thingy, but I don't see how two harddrives could both be corrupted.
I have tried with one memmory stick, also have tried repositioning them in the different slots, also I have taken almost everything out and put back in, yet it still does this to me.
I have everything in the bios set where it needs to be (unless I am overlooking something stupid). The LED's stay @ 66 while all the files load up and windows tries to come on (not sure if that is normal).
Thank you guys for reading and for any help.
