Thanks Kersk :)

I wish someone would torrent the trailer :(

Amazing, I made the HDD master and the CD slave. Booted up Windows and it detected both of them. Rebooted just to make sure they were both still there and they were :) Thanks for your help!

Yes, I've checked and the jumpers are correct. I'm going to try swapping them over.

A new problem now, for some strange reason when I have both the cdrw and the hd on PATA both powered windows can only see the HDD. If I disconnect the power supply on the HDD windows can see the CDRW :| When both are powered they are both seen in bios, any ideas? Thanks

I'm just going through the normal install, not doing anything special.

Damn bad news. I changed the new DVDRW for an old liteon cdrw and I still get the same message :( So frustrating, I am so close. Any other ideas? Thx

What difference would a new IDE cable make? It can copy files perfectly fine from the CD to the harddisk, but just can't recognise it when it comes to phase 2 of the XP install. What do you mean by "relax" bios settings? The board is an Abit AA8 DURAMAX running enhanced mode.

Hi, I'm the buddy :p Thanks for the reply but it's nothing to do with media because I've tried several legit copies of xp and all produce the same error. My DVDRW is the Sony DWU-22D 16x DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter The reason I believe it might be hardware related is because I've...
