I got a new HD for my system, a WD 80 gb SATA drive. For some reason now my system will not boot from the Win XP disc - it has always been able to. After installing the HD, I wanted to do a fresh install. However I was having the boot problems, so I had to install windows with boot disks.
After the first restart, when it loads the GUI, it hangs on Preparing to Install and gives me this: Data Error Cyclic Redundancy, D:\I386\asms. Something to that effect. It advises to check the Installation CD. I tried another disc to no avail. I tried repairing the installation, I tried reformatting and reinstalling fresh, and I ran a chkdsk. I still get the same error.
I am running an Athlon 2500+ on a EPOX 8RDA3+, with onboard SATA. Btw, I installed the drivers for the SATA interface during the xp setup.
Possible conflict with the CD drive and the HD?
Bad HD?
I'm stumped at this point.
