I want to explain the problem alittle further. Everything boots up fine until it is time for the CD/DVD to communicate to the HD. The maxtor installation cd freezes when trying to install/format the drive and the same thing goes for the the XP installation CD.
Which BIOS seeting should I check to make sure both IDE channels are enabled ?
I think I've tried to set the jumper to master and it didn't work. I'll try again. Right now, it is set to cable select. I don't know if it makes a difference but I have the CD/DVD and the HD connected with two seperate cables. The HD is connected with IDE1 and the CD/DVD is connected to IDE2
