Hello,

I have a similar problem with this configuration:

Intel Core2 Duo E6550 - 2330 Mhz
Intel DG33FB
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C5DHX
Seagate 250MB Sata II
DVDWR Philips

I tried to install XP Pro SP2 Corporate. After the computer booted, the XP installation process started normally but wasn't able to see the HDD. I rebooted, entered BIOS and changed from AHCI to IDE. I started the installation process again and at the partitioning section windows recognized only 148GB out of 250GB. I partitioned the hdd and continued the installation process. After setup copied the files the computer rebooted and continued the installation. At about 36 mins installation estimated time I got a blue screen with this error "IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS" some machine hex code and some suggestions to disable bios shadowing, etc.

I tried with that XP CD several times with no success and decided to slip the ich9 drivers into the XP installation image. Did that and got the same problem, installation stops at blue screen.

I downloaded Knoppix 5.1.1(latest version), kernel 6.2.19 and after the welcome boot message(hit enter to start knoppix) the computer hangs with black screen, nothing is happening. I tried to start knoppix with the parameter "knoppix acpi=off" , it started to load the OS but after a few lines a minimal shell prompt apear with fewer than 10 commands (mount, umount, ...).

I tried to boot with Hirens to load DOS and do a BIOS upgrade but any utility program from the suite wont start and i get 2 driver error mesages. (i didn't wrote that down)

What could be the problem ?
