Unmountable boot volume error

[jay hooks]

ok any body want to try a riddle???

ok heres my problem, i recently upgraded my pc. i brought a new mother board, hard drive and cpu. when i tried to install windows xp in the new hard drive i get the unmountable boot volume error...

this is what i tried to do to fix it...
i brought a new mother board, i tried 3 seperate hard drives, and i tried to set the defaults in the bios setup. i also changed the jumpers in the two of the hard drive, the third is a sata drive. note that in each drive i had the correct cables. also each mother board is capatable with ata and sata drives... i called microsoft 3 times and they could not help. im thinking it might have to do with the ultra memory direct access but i have no clue how that works... one last thing, the hard drives came with the formating software...

so if anyone is kind enough to help please do so... one last thing the windows xp home edition complete disk i used is working correctly, because i tried it on my old system. i didint install it but i poped it in to the cd tray and loaded it up to were the product key has to be entered, just to see if the disc was messed up...
