Windowx XP Format/Install fails

by sudesh_kumar . Updated 19 years, 11 months ago

Trying to install XP Pro service on a 2 years old PC, with a new SATA drive.
(1) How do I provide the driver (it is on CD)?
The computer has no floppy drive.
(2) Switched to a IDE drive. It failed at the end of format step. Tried two other drives. It still fails. The disks are working fine on other computers.
(3) Formatted the drive on another computer, started the installation without format. It failed after few minutes with “Incorrect Function xxx” error.

Help!
