Here is what I have done so far.

Disabled the Watchdog in the BIOS.
Successfully booted from USB CD-ROM to begin install of Windows Home Server. For those that do not know it is based on Windows Server 2003.

The installer sees all 4 drives. The install starts and for some reason the install finishes one part, reboots and then gets stuck in part of the installation.

Now using this drawing below.. This is the drives from the front view.

Code:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|     Drive 1         |     Drive 2     |      Drive 3     |      Drive 4  |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I remove the drives I have to have Drive 3 installed for it to boot. This is the BIOS IDE controller drive0. I believe Drive4 is the BIOS IDE drive1. The disks in Drive1 and Drive2 are controlled by an additional SIL based IDE Controller. I have no idea why it gets stuck in this install reboot cycle. It all seems to be working fine, just doesn't want to continue. Any help.?????
