I just got a 200gb drive
my bios supports 48bit lba
I know my XP cd does not, I need to install SP1, but I have to isntall xp first.

I tried creating a 60gb primary partition
then installing windows to it.
then after installing sp1, the system rebooted, and wont start up
it displays the background for about 1 sec and reboots.

What is the proper procedure for installing XP using a PRE SP1 cd on a drive bigger that 137GB?

I am thinking that my problem is not due to the 48bit lba not being enabled.

while downloading SP1, a little message bubble poped up telling me there were files corrupt (files corrupt in /???)
then the system rebooted.

what might cause this?
