Same stupid problem.

Okay I like to build computers. I can do everything right up until I install Windows. I always have problems with Windows Installation. Sometimes it will keep booting from the CD and when Windows gets ready to setup it will restart until I stop it. Sometimes the HDD is not detected, but it was on the last boot. I eventually fix these problems but it gets pretty annoying.
