I just got all the parts for my new system and the freaking Windows install keeps locking :(

Myth's new toy:
Athlon 3800+
1GB Corsair 2-2-2-5 DDR400
MSI Neo2 Platinum (nForce3 chipset)
WD SATA 74GB 10krpm drive
WD SATA 250GB 7200rpm drive (omg teh pr0n!)
Plextor SATA DVD+/-RW
and I ganked the ATI 9800XT outta my previous system.

If the damn thing doesn't start working tonight I'm going to kill someone :evil:

I heard the Neo2 has a lot of problems :-(

nice choice on the RAM though, that's what I have. runs at 3-2-2-2 if you want it to.

Damn, I did my homework and heard nothing but good things about it. I think I isolated the problem though. I forgot to load in the SATA drivers for the Windows install. Dumb mistake, but I forgot since it was late at night and the initial install could find the drives to format them.

well that's good.

Also, with the athlon 64's I think it's better to run the Tras (memory timings) at 10. I read on Anandtech and tomshardware that it performs best that way. that's what I'm running mine at.

You know what's sad is that I read SATA as sneak attack trick attack first instead of what I knew it really meant ><

Anyway, yeah, that was most likely the problem :P

For anyone who's interested, the problem was with the SATA DVD burner. When I switched it out with my IDE burner everything worked fine. I guess the XP installer doesn't play nice with an SATA CD/DVD.
