A7N8XE deluxe and SATA problem with Win XP Pro

T

Terry

I have an A7N8X-E Dlx MB with a 3200 processor. I originally booted
from my C drive connected to the Master IDE connection. I also have a
non-bootable Data drive on the Slave IDE connection (D Drive).

I added a single SATA 120GB WD drive. I used Norton Ghost to make an
image of my C drive to the Sata drive.

When I boot from the C drive everything boots fine into Windows XP Pro.

If I go into the bios and tell it to use the SCSI device as the first
boot drive, it boots to the SATA drive fine, but after Win XP is done
loading, I get the following message: Generic Host Processor has
encountered a problem and needs to close. When I ask for details, the
problem file is: SzAppName: svchost.exe is shown and the ModName is
ntdll.dll.

Can anyone tell me what is going on and why I am getting this error
message and how to fix it? I am not overclocking the MB.

Thanks,

Terry

I don't know if it would cause this error, but WinXP needs the SATA
drivers installed to operate the SATA drive correctly.

I'd try a repair installation. (booting from the CD) Have the drivers
available on a floppy, and press F6 when it asks you about installing
drivers.
