I just installed a new maxtor 160GB HDD into my home built computer. Maxtor
says I need to plug it into the ATA PCI card they gave me. I started
installing win xp while HDD is plugged into the motherboard straight, but it
started shutting down and restarting during the setup. I plugged it into
the ATA card and now it stalls on "Setup is inspecting your computer's
hardware configuration". Can anyone help me. I need this computer back
soon before I go to sea(I'm in the Navy). TIA.

You need to install the xp cd,boot from cd,install the
drivers/software for the ATA when prompted by windows.
