ok, my nephew just bought;
Abit AN7
2500 barton mobile
2 sticks 256 hyperX 3700
Asus 9600 SE
Maxtor 80gb SATA HDD
we assembled it (grinning anxiously), set the bios to onboard SATA and selected to install the scsi support software from the XP boot selection, chose the Sil 3112A drivers and proceded to install winxp. The comp gets as far as loading what appears to be all the support files then goes to the device error screen instead of windows install.
the device error screen is the one that shuts windows down to save hardware. similar to the one you get when you change a major piece of hardware.
the error reads "unmountable_boot_volume"
i checked the harddrive on my comp, and it's fine I formatted the drive with my comp and still get the same error.
anybody ever run into this? any advice would be greatly appreciated
