No it should, says it supports up to a 1.4 athlon. Try this site for help.

ok stop flaming , where did you get up to DarkClown12

did you try partitioning , formating and installing xp from just the cd yet

[DarkClown12]

it gets to the part where it is about to copy system files but crashes and has error sessions5_intialization_error

[delphin460]

is that after you partitioned with the windows xp cd

then let it format with the windows xp cd

and then let it try to install

Flaming? Me? Darkclown is this the same problem you'v had for two weeks or more?
Same computer you built , but different problems each time?

Did you try Killdisk like I suggested?

[DarkClown12]

yes i did peat, and yes to delphin

[delphin460]

well , then if you said this h/d worked fine in another comp

the only thing i can suggest is to go to the bios an set it back to defaults to see if its something in the bios thats screwing it up

ether that or disconnect any other ide hardware from the ide cables , eg like cdrom drives ect and see if it works then

if the 2 above dont work , grab another h/d and see if the same thing happens

if it does your mobo is rooted , if it doesnt the h/d is confused and i cant see nother way around it

I am running a memory test right now and later i will probably reset cmos cause that helped a while ago.
