I recently obtained a new Seagate 160gb ATA HD. I created and formated two NTFS partitions (C: 20gb, D: rest of the space) using my backup OS. I then switch the seagate as primary and installed windows (booted from cdrom).
At first, all seemed normal except after 1st round (inspecting hardware, EULA, copied files to the HD and restart ) it would keep booting from CD, I don't get the message saying "press any key to boot from CD". I thought it was no big of deal, so I took the CD out and re-booted. After POST, verifying DMI pool information, and there is about 15 seconds delay (blank screen) and then it would show the windows loading logo, and from there Windows started to do the install as normal. After finished installation, I restart several times, and I keep getting this 15 seconds delay.
Anyone experienced this before? What might be causing this?
