No Choice it just asks - as usual - hit enter to install windows so I do as

Red Hdd activity light is on and prog states "Examining 152626 MB DISK 0 at ID
0 on bus 0 on
ATAPI....."
I let it run for about an hour then decided to install on a 30Gb PATA and then
install all the MOBO
drivers and clone the PATA to the SATA then BACKUP.............
What say you ----------------?
