I've just installed a Hitachi 1 terabyte Sata Hard drive on an IDE motherboard (replacing an old ide hard drive) using a sata adapter card with cable. I have 2gb of RAM.
I clean installed a new Windows XP and it seemed OK until I did a cold boot, all reboots had worked, but from cold it tries to reinstall XP until I press the reset button to reboot.
I tried changing the order on the bios boot list, even tried removing the cd drive from the list, but it still wants to boot from the CD on start.
Have I missed something. Hitachi's site says drivers are not required as XP includes them.
XP gives me occassional blue screen crashes also, which may or may not have something to do with it.
Any ideas?
