A8R-MVP fresh install of XP SP2 on SATA drive

[Spewn]

I followed the instructions regarding modifying the windows XP install to include the board's SATA drivers. I did this because I don't own a floppy drive. It worked, to a point; windows installed, but now will not load to complete the installation, giving me error code 0x00000007B. This tells me there's something wrong with the SATA driver again(based on what microsoft had to say about the error code), but I'm not sure what I can do to make this work. I've tried loading in safe-mode to no avail.

You're best bet is to try and borrow a floppy drive from someone. Most people who build their own computers have several sitting around. Load XP the right way, using the floppy drive, and then use something like Ghost to make a clean XP image on a DVD. Then, if you need to rebuild, you can do it quickly, and you won't need the floppy drive.
