I just purchased a new western digital SE 60 gig with 8 mb
cache. I'm trying to install windows XP Professional.
I fomatted the entire drive to a single NTFS Partition
using partition magic. I have the latest BIOS ofr my
motherbaord (Asus A7M266) and the drive is the primary
master, and IS detected in POST.
When I put the XP cd in the drive, the cd boots, and
promts me with "Setup is inspecting your computer's
hardware configuration" -- It freezes at that point.
When I try using a boot disk, and navigating to the I386
folder, and running winnt.exe, I am prompted with a blue
setup screen which says. "An internal Setup error has
occurred. Could not find a place for a swap file. Detp
cannot continue. Press Enter to exit."
I check the microsfot HCL, and the western Digital SE 60
gig 8mb cache, is not listed. Could this have something to
do with my problem?
How do I go about getting XP to install properly?
