I've never heard of a PIO mode. IF I can even get windows to install, could you tell me how to set them in PIO mode?
Also, I have my hdd's partitioned, one part just for the os, the other for everything else. I'm gonna try just formatting the os part first. Hopefully I won't have to do everything.
If that doesn't do it, is there a chance my raid setup is corrupted, as in, I'd have to format everything and rebuild them with new partitions and everything???
As for that bug code thing, that basically says either I have a corrupted hdd (physically or file struction wise, I don't know) OR that I have a nonpaged pool memory problem?? I have no idea what that meens.
Update: When I get to the windows installation part were it shows my partitions, d: is shown as "unknown" format. Is that normal? It shouldn't effect my windows installation, should it?
This is whats happening when I try and install windows: It will say: Setup cannot copy the file: whatever. Retry, skip, quit. It won't ever work, so I'll select skip, and it will just happen with another file.
Also, back in the day, with my old msi agp motherboard, I got this same situation, I rma'd it twice. And them eventually I just bought a new motherboard, and things worked great until now.
Also, back then, both hdd's worked fine on any other motherboard, and any hdd would not work on the msi motherboard. So, I figured it was defintely the motherboard.
So, I have the exact problem again... Another broke mofo, or bad hdd's?? Also, back then I had completely different hardware, besides the hdd's.
What do you guys think?
