When I attempt to load Windows XP Home Edition SP2 on my new PC I encounter
the following error messages during setup

Windows can't load installer for CDROM
Windows can't load installer for Disk Drive
Windows can't load installer for Battery

The following is a listing of my components for my build

* Ultra 600 Watt Power Supply (new)
* 2GB Dual Channel Kingston Value Ram KVR667D2K2/2GR (new)
* Intel e4300 1800 Mhz Chip (new)
* Abit IB9 Motherboard (new)
* Seagate 320GB SATA (New)
* New CD/DVD Drive (SATA)
* Windows XP SP2
* BFG GeForce 6600 GT / 128MB / DDR3 / SLI / PCI Express (new)

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

PS - I am using the latest BIOS available for the MB

Are the SATA devices enabled in the BIOS?
Why does the installer even mention a battery?

Are you preessing F6 during setup to install the SATA drivers from a floppy
you should have been provided?
