Hi,
I've been having a mare trying to install XP onto my
Seriel ATA drive. I keep running in that
message: "Windows has stopped setup to prevent damage to
your computer. Check that your hard drive is configured
and terminated..."
I've tried different SATA drivers...and in response
get "...file/INF is invalid". Why is my SATA (Raid)
drive not allowing windows to install?
Please help me.
Thanks

(PS: i have already tried all the recommended courses of
actions it provides. That is checking for viruses,
reformatting hard drive, scan disk and chkdisk.)
