Windows Installation restart on my new SATA Drive

[Guest]

I'm installing a new SATA drive on my machine. I reinstall my windows XP
upgrade (enter the old win ME, load the raid files) but when the system
finishes the first part of theinstallation and reboots, it start the
installation again (system ahrdware etc)

I tried some of the workarounds (do not press any key and let the system
reboot) and reboot without the installation disk. However when I do this the
system says boot failure insert disk and only works if I insert the windows
disk in which start the installation again.

Any other ideas????

When setup finishes, you have to access the bios and set boot order to the
SATA drive. Then it will boot into Windows.
Please post back with your results.
