My problem is that my motherboard (Abit BE6) wont boot from the CD-ROM drive, I have tried this drive on my other PC and it boots from it OK. It also has a Highpoint controller (HPT366) and it wont let me select the drive to boot. (it says 'non bootable drive' which is not true) I am trying to install windows XP on the formatted hard drive, and I followed the steps in a previous post: ''One prepare the HPT366 drivers on a floppy and during installation when it asks for scsi drivers, one press F6, and it will look on the floppy.'' When I do this the windows xp setup hangs. ( I had to use the floppy disk XP setup)
Any ideas?
Thanks
