Windows & install and asus p5n-d
HI all
hoping for some answers.
Tried loading a clean install on my system. Asus p5n-d mobo e8400 pro geforce 9800gtx+ 1 x ide with xp and 1 x sata with xp
Installed a new second Sata looking to get rid of the ide drive after install
everything disconnected except the new sata and a sata optical
Install hangs doesn't even get started many attempts.
Booted up existing xp on the existing sata drive and inserted windows 7 install disk. This caused the system to completly freeze no mouse movement nothing.
Booted up system with xp on old ide drive and inserted windows 7 install and it worked!
Had the install load windows 7 on the new sata drive.
All is ok but to load windows 7 now i have to boot via the old ide drive.
booting up from the new sata drive fails. so obviously can't get rid of old ide drive now.
So any ideas as to why the above has happened??(am suspecting sata driver issues)
And also is there a workaround to do a clean install direct to my new sata drive?
Thx in advance
Vinno
