Is your XP CD pre- SP1?

[ballistik kevin]

i think so but i'm in the process of getting Windows XP sp2 online and hopefully it works because i have 1hr left to download

[Rockster2U]

Pre - SP1 is going to have a problem with a 250Gig Drive and if you are downloading SP2, you're going to have to make a slipstreamed CD with both your original XP and SP2.

i'm downloading the whole thing... Windows Xp Pro w/SP2 CorpEdition.... i have no clue what CorpEdition is all about any ideas??? its 627 mbs.....

i don't think i ever mentioned this but yeah when i start my computer with the 250gb hard drive... it makes a continuous beep.... then stops then right before the selection screen of picking fresh installation or repair or F3 to quit.... it starts same beep again and beeps for about 10 seconds....

its not because of my bio settings right?????dang it... i don't know what to do.....but are you sure??? this is a fact right?

i have another topic (same type of problem) bur my motherboard see's the hard drive, but windows doesnt and the drivers cannot be put onto the floppy disc due to an error.

my S-ata drive is:
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 160GB SATA150 HD.

not that that will help as its windows and the drivers that are at fault. im not intrested in that though, all i want is my drive to work

You are a piece of work - four pages into this - now I understand your name.


Have to say though, forewarned is forearmed.
Thanks audioboy

edit: Stuart - I agree with your observation too.

with regards to putting windows on... your sata utility has to find the drive, if it dont you cant go forward with no drive according to the computer to put windows on
