I built a system using an MSI PT880 NEO motherboard. Other details:
Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz
1 GB RAM (2x512) PC 3200
ATI Radeon 9250 AGP card
USB/1394 PCI card
Two 250GB PATA hard disks (one is UDMA 133 and the other is 100) running in
master/slave configuration.
AMIBIOS A7043 VMS, ver 1.6 092404
I modified the BIOS to boot up from the CD drive, and inserted the Windows
XP Pro setup CD in it Version 2002, which includes SP1). I get the message,
press any key to boot from CD, and
when I do, I see the message: Setup is examining hardware, and nothing else
happens (cursor disappears). I waited about 15 minutes, and repeated the
process with no luck. Any ideas?
PS: The hardware is working fine. I have a Fedora Linux CD set and tried it,
it installed fine on this system. Obviously, I'm interested in making the XP
setup work
