Windows XP loading problems
Hi,
I've recently built a new pc. I'm trying to load XP after updating the BIOS on first power up. It's was only loading for a few seconds when it said I should close down and reload the OS. Now its just sitting there with no disk activity at all. On the screen I have the following: "PCI DEVICE LISTINGS" - several lines of data "VERIFYING DMI POOL DATA" It's at this point the loading process hangs with no further activity. One thing I did notice in the "CMOS Set up utility" was that the "IDE channel 0 slave" showed the Hitachi Deskstar HDD I've installed, I thought that it would have showed up in the Master and not slave header. Have I installed the SATA cable into the wrong Mobo connector?? Any other help you can give me??
