tbird800
128MB PC133
Asus A7V
IBM DTLA-307030 ( 30GB ) hooked to the UATA100 port ( promise )
plextor rewriter and a dvd drive

entering windows install, after clicking okay and loading the install assistant, the cursor turns into the famous hourglass and the computer won't respond on anything, anymore. Not even ctrl-alt-del. But the mouse is still movable.

I've been playing with a few bios settings, no go. I told him to hook the drive to the UATA66 interface and try again ( tomorrow )... any suggestions in the meantime?

thanks
tide
