    Problem with fresh XP install on new build!

    I hit the key when promted, it went back into setup. It came to the part where it asked which partion to set up in and my choice was a formatted c: partition.

    help! first time builder, new build, won't post...

    btw- I also have an x-fi fatality pci sound card installed. Could that make a difference? I have heard many people have had issues with sound cards, but that wouldn't cause a new build to fail to post, would it?
