    Was it changing Sata mode to ATA from AHCI by any chance?

    From my memory it didn't work in my case. A lot of people do recomend nLiting windows installation with SATA drivers instead of using floppy disk via F6 function. Aparently it doesn't work for everyone.
    roma, if you decide to do it a proper way here is the with good instructions.

    hello roma
    since you have tried every thing so far, and not winning, let's try to help you out a bit further.
    what is your location, maybe someone from our Austech members is near you and can have a look at this machine of yours.
    if your in or near the Riverina Region in NSW, I will be happy to give you a hand.
    cheers

    You should just leave 2GB of ram out of the motherboard until the problem is corrected, even 1 GB would be plenty (just install 1 stick of Ram)

    I still think it is pointing toward a hard drive problem, (XP not finding it)

    Your CD runs until you get to Format the Hard drive, (then there is a problem with the Hard Drive,)

    I would be finding the Motherboard Sata drivers on the Gigabyte site for XP 32 bit & put them on Floppy & try to install them using the F6 at boot up, (don't forget to extract drivers from a Zip file)

    but you may have to enable the floppy in Bios to see the floppy,

    If that doesn't work I would be slipstreaming the sata driver into the XP Boot disc using nlite,

    your problem sounds very familiar to what I had & fixed by inserting the Sata Drivers into the install

    PhillTheQuad & best4less could well be right about a setting in BIOS to fix this, but I do not know exactly what that setting is, (I would like to learn this too),

    Being a newly built Computer it is possible that you have a hardware problem (with your hard Drive or something else), or an assembly error,

    just my opinion

    Good Luck

    Edit: what area do you live mate?

    if you're willing to try one more, start the setup from the cd again and at the very start of it press the F7 key and hold in for a while. This usually forces the setup to load basic HAL and no ACPI support.

    Also, if there is any special settings for memory mapping or relocating in the bios, disable them.

    I'd say you try it, nothing to loose.

    thought it may help,

    about installing XP on your GA-EP45-UD3 Motherboard,





    I don't think you need to configue Raid though, if you don't want too,

    other reading is interesting

    mate go back and read post#12, 17 and 37. This should absolutely solve your problem. If not, go back and try again, slowly and have patience

    Anyway, in bios make sure:

    - sata is set to ide or normal mode
    - no RAID.... disable
    - no memory remapping or relocating

    ... and use the sata drivers that came with board in the floppy drive (it won't work from usb).
    ... and use ram sticks in pairs.
    ... and remove any PCI card before starting install.
    ... might also need to try with a different video card.
