XP Installation = UNMOUNTABLE BOOT VOLUME, HELP!!!!
Trying to install XP on a new machine, booting from cdrom. After the initial hoopla and drive formatting, windows must reboot. After it reboots I get the XP splash screen for a second and then a BSOD that says UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME.

Hardware: MSI KT3 Ultra 2, PC2100 DDR, XP1800+, 40 Gig WD 8MB Cache, Elsa 16MB Vanta LT, Realtek NIC, Diamond Supra Modem, Onboard sound, onboard USB, 52XCDROM, 32X CDRW. Hard disk is Master on its own channel.
What I have done so far:
1. Pissed and moaned
2. Disabled USB and tried install and format again
3. Checked BIOS settings and tried to set everything as stable as pos.
4. Formatted drive using Full NTFS format (used quick format option before)
5. Raised fists in air and cursed VIA!
Please help, MS knowledge base isn't a help
