Via 8237 Sata win xp sp2 corporate

[sunny112]

Hi All,

I need some desperate help! I am currently trying to install windows xp pro sp2 corporate on my seagate barracuda 200GB sata hard disk. I am using a msi 6741 motherboard (which has a via 8237 controller built in). When i switch on my computer, i notice that the bios detects the hard disk which is ok. I go on to install and press f6 to load the drivers. This works, i manage to select the right driver and format my partition. After this, a message appears saying that it cannot copy file viamraid.sys. I have options to retry (which i have done several times), abort or skip. I tried skiping and it let me copy my windows install files but after boot an BSOD appeared, saying that my hard disk is incorrectly configured, check for viruses etc. What am i doing wrong?

Please help!

Cheers!

Sunny

P.S To elimate any other issues, I checked my memory using memcheck86 and everything was ok.

hi, i resolved that problem skiping the copy of the file and the next boot you have to have your floppy with the via driver in, and thats it
