    Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI, excelstor hd, D-Link wireless pci card, couldn't get on the net, it pinged, but dlink support said IE was faulty, not the card. so decided to format HD, and re-install windows:
    Put in Windows XP Pro to format HD, went to bios, first boot changed to CD, it went back to windows, never booted to cd (4x), So, went to bios and @CMOS, went to HD (it's SATA) and went to "none" so it's not seen in bios. Then it booted to CD. Windows did it's thing, when it re-booted, I went to BIOS, and made first boot HD (after I had BIOS see it), and got this "Warning: Windows could not start because of computer disk hardware config prob...Could not read from selected boot disk ... etc"...This went on for about 4 hours ( I guess I was hoping for something). Took out the hd and hooked it up to MY puter, and it's fine, in fact it has the initial files for starting windows, boot. ini etc.
    I have absolutely NO IDEA where to go from here.

    Maybe your CD drive is messed up?
