Thanks for all the help. I will try it and hope it cures all the little problems.

Sorry I put the wrong motherboard down earlyer. The correct one I'm having trouble with is a DFI Lanparty UT CFX3200-DR ATX AMD Motherboard

How would you recomend I set up the partiton? Sould I use 100 gig or more?

Yes it is a double cable. I think it might be a power issue. Should I buy a single cable for the data and try to use the power from the power supply? The drive is a White Label 640 GB and i'm running a LanParty 6300FX Motherboard.

I only have the one hard drive in there now. I have a second one that will only work as a slave. I formatted the new drive when I booted the Windows XP CD. Also it is a Sata drive.

Need Help Please I'm trying to install Win XP on a brand new 640 GB Hard Drive. And I used the quick install and regular to load the software. (The regular install did nothing) I get a Black screen after the computer restarts and it says "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuels for additional information." I've had Windows XP installed on this system before but on a old hard drive that quit. Any reccomendations?

I just bought a mostly complete system (- the hard drives)from my buddy. And I went to install a new Sata hard drive in the system and the bios would not see the drive. Could I have a bad cable or is the motherboard bad? I'm using a double cable for both power and the regular conection.
