I thought I had succesfully installed a new SATA drive (Seagate 80 gig, 3.5 inch) in my Laptop. The installation went well, SATA drivers installed from a floppy after selecting F6, and Windows XP home version seemed to happily install. I installed all my other software with no troubles as well. Now if I boot the splashscreen hangs for several minutes and then the system just can not boot. If I leave the windows installation CD in the drive and boot the system starts a new installation which I abandon and on reboot I can boot with no problem from my SATA drive. Rebooting also works fine from the SATA drive. Only a boot from power off seems to require the ritual of the aborted Windows installation. My BIOS boot order is set to Hard drive first with native SATA enabled. Help!
