From memory the shutdown during installation means a hardware problem ofsome sort, but not necessarily a faulty hardware problem.
The hard drive should be seen in the bios so look for it or them there.
In my Sata Raid capable motherboard bios the Raid boot feature is enabled by default and will boot only from Raid. If you want to boot from a single hard drive you need to set the boot to non-RAID then reboot into the bios and ajust the time and so on and set the CDRom drive then to the first boot device.
If you want the bios set to Raid then you install the hard drive manufacturers Raid drivers from a floppy diskette during the beginning of the operating system installation by pressing the F6 keyboard key during the operating system installation process.

I am trying to install a fresh copy of XP Professional to a new hard drive I
have installed as C:/.
When I get half way though installation, the pc shuts down with no warning
or fault message.
Have a Asus A8R MVP mother board with NVidea GeForce FX 5200. We have fitted
a new SATA drive, which is not recognised yet as the system will not boot and
install operating system. We also have another hard drive, which is full.
Temporarily we have disconnected the SATA and full drive whilst trying to
resolve the problem. I have tried replacement memory in twin modules as
required, which makes no difference.
I am aware that the BIOS is out of date for the board, as there is an update
available, but am unable to install this, as we do not have a stable machine
to work with.
A new power supply has been fitted which hs adeuate capacity as it's output
is 460w.
Please has anyone some ideas we can try?
Many thanks
Mike & Daniel.
