Hey,

I'd be very grateful if any of you guys could help me out.

I've just built myself a new system (all new parts) Parts of possible interest as follows:

Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 Motherboard
Maxtor Diamond Max 10 200gb SATA


When I go to install XP Pro it gets to the point where it copies the files and reboots. After this it is supposed to reach the GUI with the XP logo.

However for me, it just starts the entire process (boots from cd) again and says that an operating system already exists. I have over written the supposed already installed operating system and it just starts over the same.

In the bios both cd roms are recognised but I do not see any mention of my hard drive. However when it is asking which partition to install to it recognises the size.
The first boot device is set to hard drive and second to the dvd-rom.


Thank you very much for any help.
