Ive bought a few new toys a Gigabyte mobo (GA-K8NF-9) 3000+ 64bit AMD CPU and a 160GB SATA hard drive.

Ive downloaded the drivers from the Gigabyte website, copied them to a floppy and inserted my WIN XP disc.

It loads fine. I press F6 and install the 3rd party drivers as requested and then it continues to install Win XP. I select the install Windows and it then comes up that it cannot find a hardrive and cannot continue to install WinXP and quits.

Its driving me flocking mad. I knew I should have bought a sodding IDE H/D and tom dick are Harry can do those but this is peeing me off !

Tried a friends copy of WINXP as his copy has SP2 onit but that wouldnt even load in the cd drive (but would in the lappy so presume its non bootable) any ideas how to make this a bootble copy ????

Bless help before I go bald !
