so.. after i have fix everything together and install the OS, i start to install the motherboard drivers. after installing them the computer just got stuck at the Windows XP loading screen. the computer did not hang as the loading bar at the bottom is still running but it just does not proceed. I tried reformating it but the problem is still there.
the only problem that i think may have cause this is beacuse i am using the SATA cables(provided by with the motherboard) for my hard disk. Should i get the SATA2 cable for my hard disk?
please help me out. thanks
