I've got a working Windows XP setup that's *really* old. I'm trying
to do a new install on a completely new HDD and I've got a BIOS that
supports booting to any drive I select. So, I've selected a fresh
drive for the install and begun the install using my old Win XP Pro
CD.
The install doesn't get very far. The install chokes just before I
get to the part where it asks which partition I want to install
everything to. I get a blue screen saying that XP install has been
stopped. It recommends that I try unplugging drives and suggests that
I've got a virus problem of some sort. I didn't write down the error
code (it was long).
So, XP appears to be choking on my HDDs and / or controller. Here's
my setup:
ASUS P5LD2
2 x 160MB Maxtor IDE drives on a Silicon Image Raid card
1 x 320 MB Western Digital SATA HDD
2 x 320 MB Seagate SATA HDD
I did the original install on another Motherboard but with the Raid
card installed. The MB is new, as are the 3 SATA drives.
I've tried changing the boot priority of the drives without any
success. It doesn't matter which drive I specify as the one to boot
to. I get the same blue screen & error.
Any suggestions?
