I have just had to replace a motherboard and XP will not boot up properly just keeps restarting, obviously due to the new configurations of the new board.
Anyway boot to XP disc to try a reinstall and says cannot detect any drives.
The SATA drive is recognised during the Post boot up window but windows is not recognising it. I phoned Microsoft and all I got was you have to enable SATA in the Bios, well in the Bios there is only one setting regarding SATA and that is enabled.
I have also read that you have to press the F6 key when XP starts the installation, this I have done but still does not detect anything. The board is GA 8VT88OP Via chipset.
How do you install XP onto a SATA drive???
thank you
