True all I can say is you dont have a short and its a BIOS, A HD, or a Install Problem.

friend of mine said the same thing, no short...he said to go into bios, and undo anything that has anything to do with power management, disable it

I have 3 hard drives 2-ATA 133 and 1-SATA 150, I want to install Windows XP on the SATA cause it is a faster drive! The only way I have figured to do it is to install on 1 of the ATA drives and copy partition to SATA drive and change boot drive in bios! Well the second time I had to do this it worked but windows is running certain processes off of the old windows drive. Now I cant format the old drive cause some of the files are in use? When I try to boot from the Windows XP CD and it gets to the screen that asks what partition to install on: the SATA drive doesnt show up! I have tried hitting F6 or F3 to install third party SCSI drivers during windows installation but it said I didnt have any SCSI drives attached? This is a pain in the but cause when Windows loads it gets alot of errors! Another problem is my sound isnt working? It worked fine before I had to Reinstall everything!

ok....everything is up and running....the keyboard....wow....it came off of a gateway system, plain microsoft p/s2 keyboard. i had plans to give the system to my kid, so while i reformatted the new hard drive...(put on xp pro instead of xp home)...i decided to hook up my gateway system in the kid's room...lo and behold..the keyboard in ? works fine..seems it is proprietary for that system, can't think of anything else....the microsoft natural keyboard works fine on this new system...by the way..doom 3 is absolutely unbelievable... i went from black and white TV to high def....wow...thank you all for your help.....joe is happy now....lol

I have 3 drives! 2 - 80GB samsung ata 133's and 1 - 120 sata 150 drive! I had this working before just dont remember wtf I did! (anyways) It seems I cant install Windows on the sata drive because when I boot from Windows XP CD (the part when I choose the partition) the sata dirve doesnt appear! When I try through windows same thing! Only way I figured was to install Windows Xp on 1 of the ata 133 drives and then do a drive to drive copy to the sata drive then adjust the setting in bios to boot from the SCSI drive instead of HD0..... windows works but when I try to format the old drive it says it cant because some of the files are in use! How can I make sure and adjust which processes boot from each drive! I get a lot of errors when windows boots!

Yes when loading xp for the first time...boot from cd...have the drivers...(usually you have allready backed them up to a floppy from the mobo's driver disk)......then hit F6..when it asks for outside drivers.....after you do that....when it reboots again....del..go to bios...change the boot order to HD first...

schwaggy, I see you have Asus mb. Your boot device after installing sata drivers for windows should be a scsi drive or something like that for priority to boot from. It may be an option as second or maybe third device as is on mine.

Tried that and it installed them but didnt recognize it still! I did read the thread and found nothing helpfull! I might not have explained enough! Windows Xp Media Center is currently installed on the SATA drive! When windows loads I get a message that says "Generic Host Process for Win32 services has encountered a problem and needs to close!" I think it is from some necessary files running from the wrong drive.....In Windows Explorer ur main OS drive should be listed first mine is listed fourth. I know most of the processes are running from the correct drive but I need to find out exactly wich processes are running from the wrong drive, and fix them! If this cant be fixed than I will just format 2 drives and start over!

Alright, I'm not exactly clear either on what you're trying to accomplish or what your exact setup is but I'll take a shot. Do your ide drives have an os on either one. If so then disable the other drives in bios as being installed and or as a boot device. Then there should not be any conflict on which disk to boot or sharing any running processes for windows. Trying to sort out which processes are being shared between two drives and os's sounds to me a nightmare I would not want to sort out. If this was any help at all... I don't know. May have to resort to your second solution. Wait, futher read your last post trying to boot 2 os's?? Check setting in bios to allow os2 boot??

Sorry guys I figured it out! I guess I had to download files to make a floppy disk with the sata drivers on them! When I booted from the windows xp cd, I hit F6 and when it asked to specify the mass storage device I wanted to install I put the floppy in and that worked! Windows then recognized the SATA drive! I was able to successfully install windows! Sorry for inconvenience!

Well it doesn't really stop and ask - it gives you a fleeting opportunity to impose 3rd party SATA drivers. (Could easily miss it :-)
Glad you guys are sorted out.
