Have just built a new pc. K9N Neo motherboard, AMD64X2 AM2 4600+, 2GB RAM, Hitachi 400GB SATA 16MB buffer. Only old bit is the Toshiba DVD ROM.
First of all the 400GB is only recognised as 131GB. Have read up on another thread about the 137GB barrier so am happy that it should be fine once I have installed SP2.
Installed XP last night and then tried SP2. It gets so far and then stops. Kept pressing retry and it stops at same place. A corrupted file supposedly. I know i should have written the file name down, but I figured that if I rebooted it would either bypass the problem or just flag it up again for me to write down. I have used this disk many times on other pc's so don't think it is corrupted.
Decided to reboot and try again. Now it doesn't seem to be reading any CD/DVDs. Device manager says it is working fine but I can't view anything in the drive and so can't install SP2.
