Anyone know how to fix this error message? I got it when I finish
installing windows xp professional into my hard disk and the moment I
take out the cd and restart it show me this error message, I try to
fixboot c: it still
give me the same message everytime I need to bootup windows I need to use
the bootup cd and also I change my motherboard and cpu due to my previous
cpu spoilt

I thought only if want to set raid hd then I need to install raid driver? I
thought sata is auto detect?


Pierre:
You are correct. The SATA controller is integrated in the Intel chipset on
that motherboard. There should be no need to for the user to manually
install another SATA controller driver in a non-RAID configuration such as
yours.

Your problem lies elsewhere. It probably is due to the fact that your SATA
HDD has been incorrectly connected. Strangely enough, I believe your SATA
HDD must be connected to the SATA4 connector, and *not* the SATA1 connector.
Closely review your motherboard's user manual and check this out.

Also check out whether there's a need to set a BIOS element in a particular
way for a non-RAID configuration, such as yours. The defaults should be OK,
but maybe something has changed in the interim.

I don't think the boot priority order will be a factor here, but check it
out in the BIOS to ensure the system detects the SATA HDD and is properly
reflected in the boot priority order.

I'm assuming that the installation of the XP operating system went without
any problems. You may have to make a fresh install anyway. But first check
out the above.
