0x0000000F4 Error


I am installing Windows XP operating system on a hard disk,
that use IDE connector cable. I started to install operating system
and it runs smoothly. But on the process of copying files, the monitor
turns into blue screen. It display the 0x0000000F4 Error. I search
in the internet what causes the problem. I check my hard disk and
notice that there is no jumper that sets the hard disk on master state.

I get a jumper and put it on the jumper settings that makes it master.
I started again the installation of operating system and now it works
smoothly.I finished to install operating system without error. It means
that if the hard disk is not set to master, Blue Screen with 0x0000000F4
 Error will appear.


Things to remember in installing Operating System.
1. Make sure that the IDE cable or Sata cable is firmly connected
    from hard disk into motherboard.
2. Make sure that the hard disk is set to master. Check the jumper
    settings if it on master settings.

Note: IDE type hard disk need jumper to set as master while
          Sata type hard disk does not need jumper, it automatically set as
          master or slave.
