Hi,
Thanks for ur replies.....
I am using an ATA IDE HDD.
Right now im using my HDD with FAT32 which is working great. But i want my HDD to be NTFS.
There is no option to clone the disk in SEATOOLS. But "Seagate Diskwizard" Has clone option and i havent done any clone. Its just an additional HDD in my PC.

Its impossible to format an drive Partition with FAT32 for 50GB in XP.
I used "Seagate DiskWizard" to format and repartition to FAT32 for three 50 GB paratition.

I also tried by changing IDE cables.........no go

I Removed my primary HDD and i inserted only new HDD. I tried to install Win XP in 3rd partition (that is last partition), but installation quits and got a msg that unable to format the drive. I also tried by formating with "NTFS Normal Format option"(not quick NTFS format) using WIN XP boot cd.........no success.

I not yet tried with Rescue CD and with Seatool-DOS...I will try that and let u know guys.
