I posted this in intel but it's not getting much attention so i'm posting here as well.

A friend of mine grabbed a digidice, 2x512mb ddr400 geil, maxtor 160gb sata drive, pioneer dvd-r and intel 2.4c. He can’t get past the windows install so I came over and had him rma everything just to be safe (who knows what he did before I got there).

New parts arrived today and I installed the digidice just as the manual instructed. The SATA drive is on ide channel 3. The xp pro install (brand new copy of xp) has no problems formatting the drive (comes up as 137gb) but when copying files it gives a boat load of errors trying to copy a variety of files. If it manages to complete it immediately BSODs. I was on my way out so I did not write down the specific error. I’m just wondering if anyone else has had issues with the digidice on a clean install before?

Thanks.

PS. A radeon 9600xt will be going in it eventually but we left out for the sake of minimizing the possible variables while installing the OS.
 
boat load of error when installing off the CD? you could of gotten a bad Disk or a bad reader Ive seen both before.
 
First try something like Knoppix....To see if any other OS will work first...

Doing this drives costs up for us all...you don't even know what, if anything, was wrong or defective. Thanks.
 
Is he overclocking?

If he is, let him know you cant install XP on an overclocked machine 99% of the time, it wont get much past the installation.

Agreed, RMA isnt the reset button on a playstaion, trouble shooting and finding out exactly what is wrong should be tried first. It could have been only one bad component.
