HELP! Booting Windows

[Osiris]

ok...just for shits, unhook your master hard drive, install that hard drive, and install xp and see if you get any further

that HD is ****ed up. lol but i undid all the hardware and reset it all back in and changed the Master and Slave Setting for the 2 HDs and am going to try to get going with windows so far it seems to boot faster

 

[BigNate]

ok i am going to install xp using just one HD and see if that works

 

[BigNate]

right now it is booting just as slow as before and the xp install cd isnt going any faster

 

[EricB]

your hard drive setting are incorrect

do you have cs or master slave?

install it on with just one hard drive connected as master

 

[BigNate]

ok i will try that only one connected i am using a Mater-Slave Connection

 

[BigNate]

ok it is still going into boot from cd and the setup detects configuration then it goes to black screen and not to the blue one.

 

[BigNate]

ok now it has gone to the install i will install again and then we see what happens. i am just using one 40g hard drive as the primary master

 

[BigNate]

still taking forever to load after the install restarts comp

 

[BigNate]

it took about 2 hrs to boot into windows install but now i am installing it and will do all the drivers later so hopefully if i do all that correctly it will work.
