OK, so its like this... I decide to build my own PC. Looks like its just like doing lego. I now have just about all the bits I need to get going but am stuck at the first hurdle.

I have a single SATA hard disk and am trying to get XP to see it is there in the early stages of installation (with no luck).

Have tried a variety of jumper settings, bios settings, and also lots of ways of trying to get a bloody driver on to a floppy disk.

To add insult to injury I cannot get any sence out of the companies that make the stuff and so I have taken it on myself to prematurley learn how to use forums........HELP!!!!!

PS I will update my profile in due course! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Welcome Pelicanbuyer. There´s a hardware forum under Tech Talk and I think you would find some good help there...just post your question with a list of the hardware and you´ll be in good shape soon I think...

welcome to the forums
