Hi all! I'm having a bit of an unexpected problem with installing Windows XP Pro 64 on my brand new computer. Of course i had to start from scratch, so i put the disc in and pressed enter a few times. I bought a Serial ATA hard drive (2x 500GB hard drives). And because of this according to instructions in the custom built pc manual, i had to press F6 at a blue screen, adn then enter the floppy disc full of drivers. My computer did not have a floppy disc drive and there was no floppy disc. So i assumed maybe my computer didnt need the to go through the special 'Serial ATA' install. SO i left it and eventually it got to the disk page where i chose what disc to put the windows on.There were two drives showing, so i pressed enter on one of them. Windows installed. I got to the desktop, and then to my computer, and saw that each drive was 127 GB. But according to the BIOS and my details, i have 2 x 500GB IDE configured sata hard drives...
i do not understand. if someone could tell me how to install windows on my computer how it should be, please do and i will be extremely grateful. Thankyou so much. |
