Re: XP Install problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Sounds hw related, double check all conections, set bios to defaults,
excepting perhaps sata / raid options which I assumed by 'dual 160gb
seagate' you mean your using. Use a single ram stick.

The only way to check the hd's would be via Seagates bootable floppy hd
checking utility, available on their site.
Also if indeed they are sata drives are they sata1 or sata2 and does your
mobo support it if sata2

If you had to use the F6 option to install raid drivers your initial
installation would have reported no hd's but check the mobo manual
