tried to load xp onto a sata drive on new built pc just after the F6 to load sata drives i get blue screen saying check for virusus or hdd faulty so put on drive from another pc ide drive that already has xp on it and when starting up goes to same screen any help??

Just to clarify:

You are booting an XP CD to install XP?

What is F6 to load sata drives?

Blue screen from where? XP CD? BIOS?

"Put on drive from another PC IDE drive" Was this drive also installed on the same new built computer? Again: where is this error screen coming from?

hi there, sorry i just read and i was a bit short on info i have managed to sort now it seems there was a conflict between the os and the mb. So new pc up and running
