WINXP Install Not Seeing HardDrives
To make a long story short, I was getting massive amounts of stop errors and decided to reformat my HD, since I didnt really have too much on there yet. It is a West. Digital 120GB EIDE Drive. I formatted it using the Windows Install Disc and XP Home proceeded to install itself. However, it would freeze or give me a stop error EVERY TIME. Now, it says that it doesn't see any HDs installed if I try to run the setup program. I even tried it using a 4GB WD EIDE drive. MSFT wont help me b/c the XP is a DELL OEM and I built the comp, but I really see no difference.
Thanks for any help, Matt |

first download the western digital hard drive diag prog from http://support.wdc.com/download/index.asp#diagutils
put it on a flopy and boot from it and test the drive then download doc memory from http://www.simmtester.com/PAGE/products/doc/docinfo.asp and test you ram then post back with test results
