I've been trying since yesterday to get Windows to install on a SATA drive. I finally got a floppy hooked up and installed the necessary drivers after pressing F6 and it seemed like it worked.
Windows goes through the entire install process. It does seem slow but it completes. But when it is finally finished and gets back to the windows boot screen the status bar doesn't even get half way before the PC restarts back to BIOS.
If I go into safe mode, I can see the system partition I created but it only shows about 2GB being used up which leads me to believe that Windows is not fully installed. Why in the world is this happening? Why am I being faked out with only a partial install?
I wan't to embrace this god damn SATA technology but why must it be so difficult. This is one last cry for help before I put in my trust old IDE HD and install Windows on it.
