hello. very long story short, i installed a new SATA WD 320gb HD because the old one was fried. first time i did this. after hours i finally got XP to see the SATA drive. i had to rip out a 3.5" floppy drive from an old PC. i had to use F5 and F6 during the XP install.
finally, it works! i was all excited.
now, i have a problem, but it's like in reverse. initially, the Bios saw the new drive, but not XP. now, the Bios sees it under "set-up," but i get a drive 0 seek failure. i hit F1 to continue and it boots to XP Pro fine.
thoughts?
i am a Noob and i feel like i am sooo close to solving this. thanks!
