    The Windows-XP-Installtion always starts well on the well-technically-installed SSD that's recognized by the BIOS, but it always stops after one restart ;
    * once it simply wouldn't start from the SSD to continue the installation & automatically retstarts all over again -- again & again ....
    * a few times it states the drive has some writing(etc.) failure & isn't able to countinue the installation ....

    Did any1 out there experienced similar problems ?
    It should be noted the SSD is currently formated at a FAT32-64K cluster format -- would shifting it to NTFS or lower-cluster FAT32 could change anything ?

    Thanks in Advance

    NFTS would help... most OS's are now using NFTS formatted drives... even my windows XP comp has a NFTS drive with Windows XP installed on it..
