[QUOTE="james33440, post: 1237784, member: 545236"] Okay, first I was having the trouble of the PC not booting up at all. NOW, I FINALLY got the PC to boot up. I can get into the BIOS settings, I even overclocked it a bit, LOL. However, my WinXP OS will not load up. I recall seeing some words towards the top of the screen about the Fasttrak Controller and another about a Promise Controller can't find the disks and there was no bios installed. I tried disabling the Sata and the Promise feature but it still gives the same error and doesn't boot up. Also, my CD-RW shows up on the list as it being recognized in the BIOS (as well as my 2 IDE hard drives). However, I can't get my Boot Manager cd nor my WinXP disc to load. I was going to try to reinstall WinXP and reformat the drive.... Any ideas? BTW, here is a list of my setup: Case: Antec LifeStyle SONATA II PSU: Antec 450W SmartPower 12V V2.0 Mobo: ASUS A8V DELUXE VIA K8T800 Pro CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice RAM: CORSAIR 512MB (2x) DDR 400 SDRAM VGA: ATI Radeon 9700 PRo Drive: Western Digital 10GB & Seagate 120GB [/QUOTE]
