Stop: C000221 Unknown Hard Error

[Scott]

hi All

I've just installed the prometeia Cooling system in my computer, came to boot up and it wouldnt.. said the windows installation was corrupt.. So i tried to reinstall Windows, and i get the above error :(

Searched on google and most of the results are in forigen language, but mention formatting it in Fat32.

Anyone else come across this??

Not sure about this one, but check in your bios to see that it sees and has detected your hard drive correctly. Try clearing the CMOS and do a reboot..sorry, that's all I've got.

Hiya

Tried clearing the CMOS a few times, and did try 3 different hard drives, a SATA and 2 WD SE's still the same problem.

I then decided that id remove all the Prommie stuff, and fired it up, went to install windows fine.

So no idea what i did wrong :(

Make sure you have the prommie on it's own seperate power line...that might have been it.

Cos im using the P4P motherboard, that doesnt hold the reset signal. I bought an old AT power supply, that just powers the prommie.

So i turn that on, wait til it gets to -33 and then turned the computer on. So should be ok power wise...
