I just built a new computer with a 2.4 ghz Celeron cpu and an Abit VT7 mobo with serial ata. I tried to put in a hard drive that already has an OS on it. (Win XP Pro). It will boot into Windows but once the splash screen comes on it automatically reboots. I tried 2 other hard drives with OS's on them, but it hangs up right the screen that says verifying DMI pool. I tried known working memory with the same result. All of the hard drives that I have tried are all IDE based hard drives. It reconizes all the hard drives in the BIOS and I have tried all of the hard drives on cable select and on master and neither works. If anyone has a clue as to what the problem is....please feel free to post some suggestions.
Thanks, DWF
