[H] Strange Windows install problem

[Thane Sherrington (S)]

Ok, here's one I can't figure out.  MSI K8N Neo4-F 
motherboard.  System boots to PE and runs Burn-In Test Pro 4 with no 
errors.  Hard drive passes SMART and BST5 tests.  It passes burnin 
with make buildworld in BSD6.  But it won't install Windows.  It 
boots up to the point where you would normally see the screen to go 
to Repair (via recovery console) or Enter to install Windows, and it 
turns itself off.  If I use OPK, it goes through the initial OPK 
steps to install configuration set, then shows the first Windows 
screen where it tells you there are 25 minutes to go, and then 
reboots and shuts itself off within a few seconds (I couldn't see 
what it screen it shut down at.)  It's a SATA drive, and an NForce 4 
chipset, so I can see the drive is DOS, but for the heck of it, I 
tried installing the NForce drives via F6, but no change.  I can 
fdisk and format the drive in PE.  Any idea?
