Trouble with OS install new system
Have built a new system with Intel D915GAV MB, Intel 3.4GHz 800 FSB 1GB L2, 2GB RAM, Seagate Barracuda 500, Sony AD-7260S 24x DVD±RW DL SATA Drive and 450W power supply.
BIOS recognizes both drives and RAM. Can not install Windows XP Home. Tried the slipstream tutorial (on this site) with nLite to add the SATA drivers. The files seem to load from the CD and the HDD light shows activity. Still only gets to the setup menu and when I press "ENTER" or "R" it just goes blank with no activity light. Have tried Ubuntu and Ultimate Boot Disk. Both load with HDD activity, but neither will run.
I have tried all kinds of suggestions and read through the posts here. Still no luck.
Can anyone help?
