guys,i tried everything but when i try to install windows xp the installing software tells me that my hard drive(Maxtor SATA 250 giga with 16 mega buffer) isnt compatible with it! so i read a lot and i realized that i needed a floppy with sata drivers.so i got them from my motherboard(a ASUS NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI) BUT after pressing F6 and after installing the SATA drivers from floppy windows STILL tells me that my hard drive isnt compatible with the O.S. !!!!! i am going crazy,perhaps i need the correct drivers..can please anybody be so kind to point me the right way???im going crazy,i bought the computers 2 weeks ago and i cant still use it!!! thanks a lot in advance!!! P.Sn startup,the bios recognized the SATA hard drive...

I'll get it working I'm sure I will. I just have to get the time first. Bloody heavy workload on at the moment.
