Hi Tony could you list the specs please, motherboard (make and model), cpu, memory (again make and model), graphics etc etc could just be an incompatibilty problem.

Have you actually got as far as installling windows at all or does it just refuse to boot period?

[peetee]

just a thought.

are your master / slave settings correct on the drives?

Could be Rob good call it is the sort of thing that might happen with an under powered psu.

Yep, i think you are right there ÈL ® ö B ì Ñ.

Also, isn't that graphics card requiring a 6 Pin PCI-E connector? You would get seriously reduced performance even if you did mange to install the OS!
