hi guys, i have bought a mobo, ABit NV8 pci express, and a ati xt850 pci xpress g/card. i have tried to install a fresh copy of windows and the pc keeps looping on the part that installs drivers before it gets to installing winxp. i have checked everything and it all works fine on another pc. i had a bsod message that according to microsoft, the ide drivers need installing.i dont have the original floppy so i want to slipstream xp with the necessary drivers for ide etc. can anyone help me with this.

thanks! jaclaz.

so how do i know which files to integrate. im not using sata, or raid although i do have a sata drive available. was gonna use my ide drive to get things settled! what do u recommend

well, if you have a pro version of XP, that would be the best to use, get the XP Boot disks for XP Pro off M$'s website...just put in the floppies 1-6 and with the CD in, and then it'll install clean.

if you don't have XP Pro, and you just have Home, it depends on if you have the single of multi CD version. depending on your version, just go to the M$ website and find the startup disk for it, thats the best way to do it, SATA or IDE.
