Good morning. Could sure use some help here. I'm in the process of building a new computer and am running into a snag. Here's my setup:
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 GHz
ADATA 1 GB DDR2 800 x2
ATI X1950XT card
Western digital 500 GB SATA hard drive
Currently trying to install Win XP and with the bios set to enable the SATA drive I get the "windows cannot detect a hard drive" error. Tried slipstreaming a driver into my cd but couldn't get it to work. Went and bought a floppy drive and will be trying to find a working computer with a floppy to make a boot disk today.
When changing the bios to enable the sata drive to run as an IDE I get a BSOD and a stop error. (Think it was 0x000000F or 7F?). I have another hard drive that I will try out later today to make sure it isn't a faulty hdd. I've already switched out memory. I'm thinking it may be the motherboard.
The cpu is a 1333 fsb and I've read you have to change that on the motherboard manually. But I've not seen that option. How do you access that? Could that be the source of the stop error? If not, any other ideas? Hoping I can get the computer up and running before I have to go out of town this afternoon. Any help is appreciated.
