THanks a million guys, steve

**any questions please ask!!:cool:
 
since u formatted her HD,

1.check if the jumpers are correctly set
2.check if the IDE cable isn't on backward
3. now that everything is set, go to the BIOS and set the HD as secondary boot device and the cd rom as primary (the first one)
or u can press F8 to set the boot devices in order

Now just put the OS cd in and install..............
 
If it still has problems formating, then you may want to try debugging it. Is this a SATA drive? If it is hold up and don't debug yet.
