Hello, I am new here and forgive me if this is in the wrong section.
I just finished putting my PC together. This is my second build.
Here is the Hardware
Lian Li Case
Intel D915pbl MB
P4-3.4
Envidia 5700 PCI-E-16
Modem
3 IDE optical devices (DVD Burner, DVD, 52X)
1 Floppy 3.5
PCI-IDE adapter card (For third IDE device).
3 SATA Hard Drives, 80 Gig WD, 250 Gig WD, 250 GIG Maxtor
I am having problems loading Windows XP Pro. I keep getting Error codes that inform me that windows has stopped loading to protect my computer. This codes about half way through windows loading the drivers in the beginning of the install. I got passes some of them and then I got a message saying there was no hard drive detected. They are all present in the BIOS.
I have the hard drives connected to the SATA ports. I am using the SATA cables with the small ends. And the devices are powered with the standard 4 pin cable. 2 CD ROMS are on the MB IDE Channel, and the third is on the IDE-PCI adapter.
I would appreciate any advice or help from anyone that has encountered this.
Also
The Optical drive that is on the PCI-IDE card is not responding, it will not even open up. I attributed this to the drivers not being loaded, as windows has not loaded up yet.
I was wondering if I should plug my hard drive into one of the 2 IDE plugs to load windows on, and unplug the SATA devices.
Would windows recognize them once it was up and running, or is there going to be issues if it is sending error codes on install?
Thanks
Mark
