Having a problem installing WXP pro.
I was using hitachi 40gb drives but I am using Seagate model ST340014A hard drives now. The mobo and the rest of the hardware hasn't changed.
The problem is this: during the windows setup I get a massive amount of "the file XXXX was not copied correctly". I have run thru changing/checking the hard drive settings, changing/checking the bios and cmos settings, and nothing so far has helped or changed the problem.
I tried to load WXP with a old hitachi I had laying around and I had no problems installing. So I think its safe to assume that it is something about these seagates that is causing the problem.
Have anyone seen this? I couldn't locate anything on seagates website about this. Any suggestions on something I am not seeing or missing?
thanx

Changed the drive settings from master to slave to cable select - no change in the problem. Reset the bios/cmos loaded default settings etc. no change.
Intel mobo D865GVHZ, kingston KVR memory 256MB, cd r/w drive (I tried swapping this out with 3 other known good/working cd r/w drives - no change) and a floppy. Have taken out the floppy w/o a change in the problem.
It has stopped several times on ursv42a.dll and is now stopped on esent.dll. It does not always give the same file error can't load. But this error varies it does not always repeat the same error.
need any more info?
