I installed a new Maxtor 120 gb hard drive on an ECS
K7S5A., ( I originally had a 30gb maxtor in it.) When I
boot from the CD and set up runs I get numerous errors
saying it can't copy the file, ie. cinemsst2.sys,
dmconfig.dll, display.inf, etc...
This happened numerous times, so I just skipped the files
and finished the installation.
Could anyone tell me what is causing this and how can I
correct it. Do I need a bios update or did I damage the
motherboard when I installed the new drive. OR maybe would
my hard drive be incompatible with something?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Looking at the ECS site, I'm not quite sure if you're board is modern enough
to handle a drive that large without a BIOS update. It should be ok since
the oldest manual is from 7/2001, but it would not hurt to flash the latest
BIOS.

Did you jumper the drive correctly? Have you checked the CD media for
scratches? Cleaned the CD-Rom? Do you have another optical drive you can
try?
