    SO this is what I am getting. I uploaded a file. It says it halted because it thinks that something could "damage" my computer. This is when I boot to XP install CD on a dell tower. I am seeing it on other computers as well and it can not be any chance of a virus on a ssd HD that has been wiped. I could wipe off a 250gig old style drive and try it. Any way to get past this ? notreally.jpg

    You need to change the BIOS Hard Drive setting from SATA/AHCI to ATA/IDE, or use a Windows install disk that has the SATA/AHCI drivers already slipstreamed into it.
