Does anyone know how to get NT4 to install on a SATA hard drive?
 
More info please.

Just one comment:
Does your motherboard need it's SATA controller drivers loading at the beginning of the OS install in order for the system to recognise the hard drive?
Typically press F6 with SATA drivers extracted onto a floppy disk and in the floppy drive (choose your OS, install the SATA drivers)

When i boot from the CD and it says press any cd to boot from CD, i press a key and it comes up to the blue screen installing drivers and whatnot...and it gets to the SCSI CDROM and then after that it has rows of hearts and little circle type things running up and down the screen. Any idea of what is causing that?
 
Sisco,
My first guess would be a memory issue (out of Spec perhaps)

My second guess would be a hot cpu.
