Yes, I also got that far, installing the hard disk into an old Acer Laptop. When I make either selection I get a blue screen error. I did not bother searching on the error code because I assumed it had to do with loading onto the wrong hardware. When I install the hard disk into the FSP it is not recognized by BIOS. I tried using both hard disk and PATA SSD drive, but neither are recognized by BIOS. I am beginning to suspect a defective cable (or worse, defective IDE interface), although the old click of death drive gets recognized by BIOS, it just cannot boot. I have ordered new cables and have to wait for them to arrive.

Oh yeah, I also tried wiring the 40pins of the 44pin cable to a CD-Rom drive, and the BIOS recognized it and I can start the XP installation process with it, but I could not find any good 40pin IDE hard drives laying around that I could use to test. Not sure, but hard drives might use the IDE interface differently than CD-Rom drives, so the cable and/or interface are still suspect.
