Hey guys, I have an old nforce chipset 650i on an msi p6n sli mobo and am having issues installing and getting to the desktop of Windows XP 32 bit
I do not have an ahci setting in bios.
Basically the first issue was that I couldn't get past the reboot when windows copied the files over until I installed drivers through msi using nlite.
Once I installed the drivers it can go through the process of loading and installing and when it reboots it goes to the windows flag then bluescreens super fast, so fast I can't see the error.
I did happen to see other blue screens during the install process:
one was irq not less than or equal
other was a stop that was a bunch of 0's ending with like 7b or 7c.
I am pretty sure it has something to do with the chipset or the controller of the drive. I have tried multiple drives with the same issue.
I am about to throw in the towel and give up but I figured this would be my last resort
I have tried special drivers from fernando and his nforce4 with the same issues.
Are there any other settings I should be trying to find in bios? I have had xp installed before but I can't remember if it was on an IDE drive. I don't get why it goes through the install process if the drive can't be found later... Perhaps the drivers aren't being installed on the actual windows install and is just used for booting from windows install cd I created?

Just to isolate I pulled an old IDE drive I had and it installed just fine.
Also anything above and equal to windows 7 installs fine (havent tried vista)
Installed these drivers Current xp 32 bit drivers for p6n sli using nLite
I am on the latest BIOS
Installed windows xp from disk on different computer worked
Transfer said disk to other computer and bluescreen
chkdsk /r
sure I am missing things I have tried.... This is a fresh install
