LiquidHonesty Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Have you changed your BIOS since the first install? By a standard rule, if it detects it no problems one time, it'll do it every time. I've done it many many times.If you've NOT updated your system bios and you are using the EXACT same Disc to install XP........you can try using a newer XP CD (slipstream SP2 and such) and go ahead and update your system BIOS and give that a shot.

Nobut if you mean changing a few settings... yes i did, i disabled some parts i don't use like FDC controller.this might help, i get this error when i try to populate the HD in "Volume information for this disk cannot be found.This may happen if the disk is a 1394 or a USB device on a Windows 2000 machine. "1) should i really do the f6?2)could this be a hardware problem?solutions tried:- clear cmos - still the same- created a new xp slipstreamed - still the same- added Bâshrat the Sneaky driver pack - infinite reboot after installation Edited June 3, 2006 by hmaster10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidHonesty Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Do you get this error in windows or in setup? If it's in windows so it actually sees the drive, you just can't do anything with it, right? If it's in Setup, does it once again see the drive but can't do anything with it? You can try F6 if you have the drivers your SATA drivers, otherwise that won't help much. But still, if you've done it once it should do it again UNLESS something you changed in the Bios was something you shouldn't have touched........but you said you cleared the BIOS, did you reset all the BIOS settings?

"happens because some services even set to automatic doesn't start upon windows loginhere are other problems that I found:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=75682the only thing that is odd, i have integrated (using BTS Base) the MassStorage Driver from BTS pack as textmode and after the installation it keeps asking me to select safe mode or boot normally but what ever i select it just rebootsp.s. i integrated the entire pack, or should i just selected the driver that i'll be needing?

hmaster10 Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 (edited) Manage to fix it, i enabled RAID but disabled raid for the SATAs but now it keeps on asking me about the driver to nVidia RAID Controller, wasn't it on BTS driver pack?here is the list what device windows report that unable to find the drivers- NVIDIA nForce4 Parallel ATA Controller- NVIDIA nForce4 Serial ATA Controller- NVIDIA nForce RAID Class ControllerI can't even find them not even in the drivers bundle w/ my board Edited June 3, 2006 by hmaster10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
