i just bought a new motherboard and processor and i cant get any hard drives to work with it. i have tryed uploading win 95,98, and xp and it does not work. i have a gigabyte k8ns pro and amd 64 3000+ processor. i get different errors like missing ntldr and windows has detected a problem so is shutting it down, and not enough memory to load windows. if anyone can help it would be appreciated.

Did you install the hard drive and format it or was there already an operating system on the drive? Is there any data on the drive that you need to save before running a re-format and install? sLLs

How does the setup look in BIOS? Are things where and how you expected? I'd hope that was a first check, but have to ask.

ya i have formatted the hard drives and tryed to install windows 95,98,xp. as far as i know the bios are correct.

I take that to be a guess. Obviously you have a failure somewhere. I'd suspect it is mechanical. Have you had someone else look at your assembly work? Having attempted three different operating systems wit no success tells me that it is not the hard drive but closer to the motherboard. RAM or cable or something like that.

as far as i know the bios are correct. I would make sure that it is , it sound like the bios isn't recognizing those hdd or what suggestion # 4 mention

You have too much ram to instal either 95 or 98. Neither of those operating systems can address more than 512mb ram. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and his wife will never forgive you.
