Ok so I started up my new computer for the first time today. BIOS runs fine, everything else runs great. I tried to install windows XP on the computer. The CD DRIVES (Both of them, Including another CD ROM DRIVE I had sitting around because I experiments) both worked... all 3 of them. It loaded the neccessary things needed to continue and everything, but when it got to the partitioning section of the operation, the CD ROM DRIVE's would slowly run slower and eventually die down to a dull hum and the computer would freeze up. At this point I decided it might be the hard drive because when it gets to the partitioning part of the installation, it freezes up, and this is all happening to the hard drive. It is detected through BIOS, so are the CD ROM drives, and everything is plugged into the motherboard and power supply securely. Everything is configured to the correct IDE slot as well. Do I have a defective hard drive? Can someone help me?
