Hi Pctech,
Too hard, and it is suppose to work directly under xp......i dont want to have issues later on when i upgrade and xp decides to remove the overlay.....and what happens on the next drive that i get that is larger then 137GB?.....i thought there maybe something that i have missed or a file that has been corrupted in xp..... maybe the registery doesnt see the correct version of atapi?.....the bios is ok, there are no issues there that i can see, its something inside windows xp itself, i may have to reinstall xp from scratch.... also, this is an extra drive, not the one with the OS on it....ive removed an old 80gb that i had as primary on the secondary and want to replace it with 200gb....
