sorry, yes it is an older system i'm playing with. OK, i took out the 6GB and literally replaced it with the 80GB, no transfer or anything.....had the WD start up disk in the cd rom and fired it up, it now just stays on the splash screen and doesn't allow me to do anything such as load into BIOS or format, etc. here is the system:
Acer V72MA motherboard
AMD K6-3D Processor
64 Mb RAM
WD 80GB HDD (hopefully)
Maxtor 6GB HDD (old and uninstalled)
Thanks again guys
