Could be your copy of winxp. I've never had an issue with my sata drives. You installing from a disk or a thumb drive?

Win XP 64 Edition is horrible.. it was never stable.

**Rogean** · #13 10-24-2011, 11:34 AM

Go with Vista or 7.

The board in your PC has a NVIDIA GeForce 7100 chipset (MCP73PV). Not an NForce so that driver wouldn't work anyhow.

Frankly I'd go Win7 x64 anyhow... no reason not to IMO.

Edit 2: I found an iso with the SATAIDE driver built-in. If this doesn't work I'm just gonna install Windows 7 I guess. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This BSODs with 7B too, Windows 7 it is!

I figured I'd get better performance with XP.

Windows 7 works just as well on my 2004 toshiba satellite as it does on my humongoid desktop.

If your trying to get stability to run a game, run the game in compatibility mode for the version of the operating system that you want.

I have had absolutely no problems running games on 7 with compatibility mode if the game goes goofy.

So, I installed Windows 7. I've tried a few different video drivers that should all be good but I still can't get 1920x1200 resolution. No audio yet either, I feel like I'm on Linux again.

Hate this shit.
